O'Connor , Acciani & Levy

What O'Connor , Acciani & Levy does

O'Connor, Acciani & Levy is a Cincinnati-based plaintiff personal injury law firm organized as an Ohio Legal Professional Association, founded in 1992 by Henry D. Acciani and Barry D. Levy. The firm represents injured consumers across more than 17 practice areas — car, truck, motorcycle, bus, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents, slip and fall, dog bite, catastrophic and child injury, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, product liability, class action, wrongful death, workers' compensation, and Social Security Disability — serving clients in the Ohio/Kentucky tri-state region from five physical offices (Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Covington, Florence). Its team consists of 13 attorneys with more than 200 years of combined legal experience.

The firm operates on a contingency-fee model in which clients pay no fees unless the firm wins or obtains a recovery, with the firm advancing all litigation costs and collecting a percentage of monetary recovery; free, no-obligation 24/7 consultations are provided by phone, online form, and in office. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: a branded educational website organized by practice area, prominent click-to-call CTAs, and a multi-channel paid-media acquisition stack including iHeartMedia/Bidr.io and Tegna/TVSquared conversion pixels, plus an Intaker chat widget that routes visitors by case type across Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, text, and voice channels. Underlying technology is off-the-shelf legal-practice marketing tooling — there is no proprietary platform, API, or app, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Reported client recoveries exceed $250 million cumulatively (a client-settlement figure, not firm revenue); firm-level revenue is not disclosed.

The business is privately held and partner-owned, with no institutional investors, funding rounds, subsidiaries, or M&A activity evidenced in the source material. Ownership is anchored by named partners Henry D. Acciani, Barry D. Levy, Elizabeth L. Acciani, and Robert Acciani, alongside additional partners and attorneys. Public signals of standing include Super Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell Preeminent, National Trial Lawyers Top 100, Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and Cincinnati Bar Association 100% Club (2025-2026).

Broad incumbents

• Morgan & Morgan: Largest plaintiff-side personal injury law firm in the United States, operating on a contingency-fee model across dozens of practice areas and states. Directly comparable business model and plaintiff-side positioning, but operates at vastly greater scale and geographic reach than OAL.
• Jacoby & Meyers: Long-standing national plaintiff personal injury brand operating on contingency fees. Comparable GTM (TV advertising, free consultations) and practice-area mix; a scaled competitor with broader geographic coverage than OAL.
• Cellino Law: Large East Coast plaintiff personal injury firm built around a heavy broadcast-advertising GTM and contingency-fee model. Comparable mass-market PI positioning and reliance on TV/media for lead generation, though geographically concentrated outside the Midwest.

Direct peers

• Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy: Cincinnati-based plaintiff personal injury and medical malpractice firm. Most direct geographic and practice-area peer, competing for the same tri-state plaintiff caseload on a contingency-fee basis.
• Elk & Elk Co., Ltd. Ohio-based plaintiff personal injury firm with multiple offices statewide. Comparable contingency-fee plaintiff model, similar regional Midwest orientation, and overlapping practice areas including auto accidents, medical malpractice, and wrongful death.
• Burg Simpson: Mid-sized plaintiff law firm with strong personal injury and mass tort practices operating on contingency fees. Comparable mid-sized firm economics and plaintiff-side practice mix, with mass tort capabilities that overlap OAL's mesothelioma/product liability work.

Regional players

• The Law Offices of John O. Adams: Personal injury firm based in Ohio/Kentucky region serving the same tri-state plaintiff market. Comparable contingency-fee model and plaintiff practice focus, providing direct head-to-head competition for Cincinnati-adjacent cases.
• Leeseberg Tuttle: Ohio plaintiff personal injury and medical malpractice firm. Comparable contingency-fee model, plaintiff-side practice mix, and Ohio regional footprint, though focused more on Columbus than Cincinnati.
