Summary

In this episode, we dive into the world of personal injury law with David B. Lever, the founder and senior partner of Lever & Ecker, PLLC. Since 1990, David has dedicated his career to fighting for accident victims, never defending insurance companies or corporate defendants. Known for his integrity and relentless advocacy, he's earned the respect of lawyers and judges alike – becoming a trusted and influential figure in New York's legal community…

David started his own firm at just 30 years old, driven by a desire to help people rebuild their lives. Decades later, that passion hasn't faded. For David, every case is about restoring dignity and making a real difference for those who've been hurt through no fault of their own.

Join the conversation now to discover:

How attorneys become experts in specific areas of law.
Why David chose to represent victims of personal injury.
The ways in which personal injury compensation has evolved over the years.
Modern accident patterns to watch out for.
