What Raphaelson & Levine does

Raphaelson & Levine is a New York City-based personal injury law firm founded in 1992 by partners Howard Raphaelson and Andrew Levine, operating as a private professional corporation under New York law. The firm represents individuals who have suffered serious injuries — including vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, rideshare, and MTA accidents; slip, trip, and fall/premises liability; construction site accidents; airport injuries; municipal liability claims; and catastrophic injury matters such as brain, spinal cord, and wrongful death. It operates from three offices (Manhattan near Penn Station, Woodbury on Long Island, and Flushing in Queens) and serves the five NYC boroughs, Long Island, and Westchester, Rockland, and Upstate New York.

The firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis under a "No Win, No Fee" model — clients pay $0 upfront and the firm is compensated only as a percentage of recovery. Case acquisition is direct-to-consumer through a multilingual (English, Spanish, Mandarin) website, 24/7 phone intake, in-person consultations, and SEO-driven organic search; supporting communications include a recurring SMS messaging program (shortcode 75529 / RLLAW). The firm reports over $1 billion in cumulative client recoveries since founding, a 99% client satisfaction rate, and 715 Google reviews at a 4.8 average, alongside Tier 1 ranking in NYC Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs from U.S. News – Best Lawyers (2026).

There is no core technology platform: the firm's value is delivered by its attorneys and support staff through legal expertise, case management, expert retention, negotiation, and trial representation. The firm is privately held with no parent company, no disclosed private equity or institutional investment, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no partnerships or alliances evidenced in available material.
