Leav & Steinberg

What Leav & Steinberg does

Leav & Steinberg, LLP is a New York City-based personal injury law firm founded in 1999 by Daniel T. Leav and Edward A. Steinberg. The firm represents injured individuals and families throughout New York City, the Bronx, and the broader Tri-State area across a broad set of practice areas, including premises liability (sidewalk slip-and-fall, elevator accidents), car and transportation accidents, medical malpractice (surgical errors, birth injuries, failure to diagnose), construction accidents and labor law violations, products liability, wrongful death, nursing home negligence, general negligence, organizational negligence (transit authorities, hospitals, municipalities, police, schools), and toxic torts (notably Camp Lejeune water contamination). The firm is trial-focused and selective, taking cases where it is prepared to litigate rather than pursue quick settlements.

The business is operated as a traditional plaintiffs' law partnership with 9 attorneys and a 15-person support staff across a Manhattan headquarters and a Bronx office, augmented by multilingual staff (English, Spanish, Polish, Albanian, Portuguese) and home-visit intake for immobile clients. The firm operates on a contingency fee basis only — clients pay no upfront legal fees, and the firm recovers fees solely as a percentage of settlement or verdict proceeds. Customer acquisition is sales-led and intake-driven: prospective clients reach the firm via phone (212-766-5222), website contact form, free in-person consultations, earned media referrals, word-of-mouth, and organic digital channels (blog, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Justia profile).

Notable reported outcomes include a $10M medical malpractice settlement (Jan 2026), $8.5M medical malpractice settlement (Feb 2026), $9.9M furniture accident settlement, $6.45M and $6.15M workplace accident settlements, a $3.5M premises liability settlement, a $3.25M slip-and-fall settlement (April 2026), $2M car accident settlement (Jan 2026), $1.65M motorcycle accident settlement, a $1.5M NYC Transit Authority settlement, and a $1.1M sidewalk slip-and-fall verdict. Senior counsel Richard A. Gurfein has a record-breaking single-plaintiff verdict in excess of $110.6M. The firm has no proprietary technology platform and is not a technology business; it is a professional services firm whose capital is its attorneys, track record, and case pipeline.

Direct peers

• Weitz & Luxenberg: Large New York-based personal injury and mass tort law firm. Directly comparable practice mix (PI, medical malpractice, negligence, toxic tort) and is also an active co-counsel partner to Leav & Steinberg on Camp Lejeune cases, making it both a peer and a collaborator.
• Cellino Law: New York personal injury firm (formerly Cellino & Barnes) with a similar plaintiff-side PI focus, contingency-fee model, and strong advertising-driven intake in the NYC market. Direct head-to-head competitor for motor vehicle and premises liability cases.
• The Barnes Firm: New York personal injury firm spun out of the original Cellino & Barnes partnership. Directly comparable in practice areas (car accidents, premises liability, construction accidents) and in serving injured individuals across New York State on contingency.
• Rheingold, Giuffra, Ruffo & Plotkin LLP: Manhattan-based personal injury and medical malpractice firm with a trial-focused approach comparable to Leav & Steinberg's litigation-ready model. Overlaps directly in medical malpractice, construction accidents, and catastrophic injury work.
• Gair, Gair, Conason, Steigman, Clark & Rubin PC: NYC-based personal injury and medical malpractice firm with a long-standing record of high-value verdicts. Directly comparable in trial-readiness, medical malpractice focus, and plaintiff-side contingency representation in New York.
• Jacob Fuchsberg Law Firm: New York personal injury and wrongful death firm with a comparable plaintiff-side practice and contingency fee model. Overlaps in medical malpractice, construction accidents, premises liability, and general negligence.
• Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco: New York City personal injury firm with overlapping practice areas including construction accidents, premises liability, motor vehicle accidents, and wrongful death. Similar contingency-fee model and multilingual accessibility for diverse NYC clientele.
• The Sanders Firm: New York City personal injury and negligence firm with overlapping practice areas including construction accidents, premises liability, and motor vehicle accidents. Directly comparable plaintiff-side contingency model serving the same NYC tri-state client base.

Broad incumbents

• Sokolove Law: Nationally scaled mass-tort and personal injury firm with a heavy advertising-driven intake model. While broader in geographic reach than Leav & Steinberg, it competes for the same plaintiff-side PI case flow and shares the contingency-fee revenue model.
• Morgan & Morgan: Largest U.S. personal injury law firm with a national plaintiff-side practice. While broader in scope and marketing scale, it competes for the same NYC-area PI cases and is a relevant comparator on contingency-fee economics and trial-readiness positioning.
