Levine And Wiss

What Levine And Wiss does

Levine And Wiss is a plaintiff-side personal injury law firm headquartered in Westbury, New York, with additional offices in Brooklyn and Amityville, serving clients across Long Island and the five boroughs of New York City. Founded in 1991 and operating as a Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC) under the consumer-facing brand "888-GOT-HURT," the firm employs 11 to 50 staff, including nine-plus named attorneys with more than 100 years of combined legal experience. The firm maintains a niche representation practice for professional athletes, including NFL players such as Santonio Holmes and Dak Prescott, alongside its core personal injury caseload.

The firm operates on a contingency-fee model, charging clients only upon successful recovery, and acquires cases through direct-to-consumer marketing channels — branded toll-free numbers, search-engine-optimized web content, a Spanish-language website entry point, and community outreach including autism organizations, youth-sports foundations, and a Community Impact Scholarship. Across its history, the firm has recovered more than $250 million for clients and has appeared in Verdict Search's Top New York Verdicts for ten or more consecutive years, signaling sustained trial-verdict capability.

The firm is privately held with no external funding and is owned by its founding partners. There is no public disclosure of revenue, headcount detail, or financial performance, and no evidence of proprietary legal technology, AI/ML tooling, or non-attorney staff specialization beyond standard PI practice operations. Strategic activity has centered on geographic buildout (three offices), attorney bench expansion via Of Counsel hires, brand positioning through high-profile athlete representation, and community-facing marketing programs rather than technology investment or capital-raising.
