WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT OUR FIRM

"Working with LPK has been a real pleasure. Everybody that I have spoken to has been over backwards to do everything that I ask. The paralegals have just been wonderful. They have just treated me like I was a king, and I couldn't ask anyone to be any better, and I couldn't ask for a better settlement that I got."

Edward

"My experience with Levy Phillips & Konigsberg was nothing less than wonderful. I found everybody, without exception, from the person that answers the phone here to the assistants and people that I don't really know what their position was to be nothing but helpful, compassionate. The attorneys that I worked with during the trial I found to be professional, but more than that their compassion was genuine, their concern was genuine. The results of the case in the trial I was just very pleased with."

Carolyn

"If I were to give any advice to people whose lives have been affected by their loved ones coming down with this diagnosis, it is to find a doctor who cares, who understands them as a human being, and to find also an attorney who doesn't see them just as a client, who sees what the family is going through. You definitely need an attorney who is going to fight for their rights and get them what they deserve. LPK is that kind of firm. I am definitely pleased with the results, because you make sure that the family is taken care of and that my father was able to receive the best medical care that was available to him. Now my kids are taken care of, and they don't have to worry..."

Cheryl

"As a client of LPK, I felt taken care of. I felt that they always put my best interests in the beginning of what was going on. They always told me what was happening; they kept me in the loop. They knew what they were talking about. They didn't base things on emotion or fictitious facts. They had boxes and boxes of factual information. They fought very hard to win my case. I would recommend LPK and I have recommended them to other patients, because from the time I’ve met their lawyers, I found compassion and sympathy, and they gave me the promise that they would work for me and try their best and they did."

Bonnie

"Our experience with Levy Phillips & Konigsberg was very positive. I would not hesitate to refer Levy Phillips & Konigsberg to anybody who is experiencing a case of mesothelioma, because they were extremely supportive, they were extremely caring, they were completely prepared, meticulous to every detail to mounting the case. I would have no reservations recommending them… because they will fight for you, they will treat you as equals, they will make sure that you are treated with the respect and compensated what you deserve."

Marlene

"I would recommend Don Blydenburgh and LPK to any mesothelioma patient for many reasons. They are a very experienced law firm in dealing with the type of litigation that is necessary. You need not only the experience, but they also need to be large enough to handle the litigation cost, because it is a long uphill fight. Don Blydenburgh did a tremendous job for me. Go to him and let him do the investigation not only to find out where you were exposed to that asbestos but also what products you were exposed to. Don is very knowledgeable in all those aspects."

Bernard

"We decided that we had to file a lawsuit. We knew that we would need the best. We would need someone that would be able to fight for us, be there with us, help us, take care of us. We found not only one person; we found a whole family that took care of us. At Levy Phillips & Konigsberg it was amazing: they were strong, they were smart, they knew what they were saying, they knew what they were doing, and they did what had to be done. We've got justice… and picking Levy Phillips & Konigsberg was the right thing, because they were there for us. They did it, they won it, and we won. We won, we beat the bullies."

Dolores

"Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, in my opinion, is a great law firm. They took very well care of us and I believe that they cared very much about our case. They were great attorneys. We could call them at any point; they would always return our phone calls, if they couldn't talk to us right then and there, answer any questions we ever had for them. The attorney that was with us from the beginning of the case stayed with us to the end of the case. They won us a lot of money. That's a law firm you need - somebody who's going to stand up for you and not for what's easier for them."

Karen

"As a client of LPK, I was taken care of. When I called and talked with them, the next day, an attorney flew from New York down to Nashville. Started off from there, they kept in close contact with me and told me what they would do and when they would do it and how they would do it. LPK personnel have all been wonderful. The attorneys at LPK John Guinan and Moshe Maimon were very good and helpful. As a layman, I knew nothing about what cases were valued at. They did an excellent job in getting me the most that they could without having to go to trial, even after the jury was selected."

Don

"I would recommend Levy Phillips & Konigsberg. Anything that I needed they actually did to help me with my case and they are still helping me after all I have gone through. They are very very good. They treat you like if you were their family, as well as I believe that they are my family. Levy Phillips & Konigsberg surpassed my expectations, because I wasn't sure what they will get for me, but each and every one of those companies that used asbestos actually settled, and I am very very pleased with the amounts that I have received. Believe me when I say, Levy Phillips & Konigsberg are the best."

Ernesto

"When my husband was 45 years old he was diagnosed with mesothelioma... Fortunately, a friend referred us to "Lawyer Bob", as my 3 year old daughter called him, an attorney from the law firm of Levy Phillips & Konigsberg. Bob was incredibly kind and full of compassion and integrity. He never lost his sensitivity to our private battle. Bob took our case to trial, the appellate courts and on to the United States Supreme Court. Frank left this world knowing how well we were provided for."
