Meet David—Advocate, Fighter, Survivor, Trusted Ally.
David B. Lever has been tirelessly advocating for the legal rights of accident victims, injured through no fault of their own, since 1990. David is proud to say that every case he has handled throughout his professional career has been on behalf of individuals, regardless of their financial means, and he has never represented insurance companies or corporate defendants. Known for his integrity and commitment to fighting for what he believes is right, David is well respected by both lawyers and judges in the legal community. If you need a personal injury attorney, David B. Lever has the experience needed to help navigate your case.
David opened the doors to his own law practice at the young age of 30, after having worked for a New York City plaintiff’s personal injury firm. While some things have changed over the years, one thing that remains constant is David’s unwavering passion for his work and empathy for the clients he serves. David derives personal satisfaction in fighting for justice and providing some measure of dignity back to those whose lives have been forever altered.
I wish I could prevent accidents from happening, but since I can’t, my goal is to give every client the best chance for a successful outcome and guide them through an unfamiliar, often overwhelming process.

David Lever, you and your firm are nothing short of outstanding in every way and I very much appreciate the time and attention you gave me and especially my son who was only 18 at the time of his accident. He insisted that I allow him to be the Man that he is and tend his own affairs and I was able to do that easily because I always felt I could trust you to do right by him and help him. When fear and emotions ran high you held our hands with your knowledge and confidence. Even once our case was closed I was able to get help from your office when I needed it. You and your firm go above and beyond the call of duty and make it look easy. I will never forget your professionalism and above all kindness. Thank You So Much for all that you and your firm have done to help us. I’m so glad my son found you!
