Douglas B Levy PC, Tucson AZ

Submitted for your entertainment and education at my expense: I was driving home from work as a volunteer (yes I’m retired) when I was T-boned by a lady who admitted that she was playing with her new cell phone. Both cars were totaled and I had the added bonus of having 2 broken ribs and a leg hematoma. But don’t worry, the driver of the other car walked away without a scratch. Since this is the first accident I have been in with injuries, I figured I could just handle it myself. After all, the “good hands” people gave me a more than fair price for my totaled car in less than one week after the collision. And I remembered eating dinner with my son’s watching something on TV when I said to them “it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out”. My oldest son pointed out, “Dad, you are a rocket scientist”. So I thought this should be easy to settle. Well, nearly 18 months later and putting in more time than I would have done for a missile design review, providing documentation, bills and negotiating, I got a great settlement that ended up costing me money. What? It costs me money to get T-boned and it was 100% the other persons fault? Example, Medical bills $10,000, they settle for $9,500. They say they gave you $2,000 for pain and suffering. But they don’t pay all $10,000 of your medical bills, only $7,500. You settle for $9,500. Sounds good to me, I got $9,500. WRONG, you got nothing and you are out your deductible. Yes, it’s true. Remember, whatever the snakes (that’s the name the insurance company will be called in the remaining body of this review) settlement is, they pay everyone back before you get any money. So then it hit me as clear as a radar range equation - you may be a rocket scientist, but you are NOT A LAWYER!

Now the statute of limitations is fast approaching and I need a lawyer (finally I’m getting to the point of the review). I could go with “in a wreck, need a check” ambulance chasing firm, but I don’t need a check since I’m only out my deductible. I want to be treated fairly and I want a lawyer that will get more than $2,000 for pain and suffering for 2 broken ribs and make the snakes pay as much as possible paying their lawyers to defend them. So I did what every retired person does to think, I went to COSTCO to eat free samples and get a hot dog. That was the best move I made. I ran into a friend of mine and I mentioned the dilemma I was in. He recommended a lawyer that could be for me. After I finished my hot dog, I immediately went home and called (here it comes) Doug Levy. After filling him in on all of the details he responded, “You are an idiot! ” I can’t disagree with that logic and at that point I knew I found my lawyer. Doug took pity on me. It was him against the snake.

Doug did exactly what I wanted, and in the end, the snake’s settlement cost them what I estimate to be 3 times more than the original settlement offer after factoring in the snake’s lawyer fees, medical expert reviewer fees, mediator fees, and the final settlement to me. Needless to say I got more than $2,000 for pain a suffering for 2 broken ribs and the case was settled with less than 1 month before the court case was scheduled.

Doug and his paralegal Michael are knowledgeable and will handle your case with attention to detail that will result and a fair settlement with any snakes you might have to deal with. Let’s face it, neither Doug nor I got rich from this law suit, but he handled this case like it was a multi-million dollar one to me. I could not recommend Doug and Michael enough for anyone that needs expert legal assistance. Thanks to Doug, I’m an idiot no more! Well as far as fighting snakes are concerned. My wife may beg to differ. Remember don’t be an idiot, call Doug Levy first if you ever get T-boned.

We were involved in an auto accident 12/18. We tried dealing with the other drivers insurance company and decided legal advice was needed. We were referred to Doug who guided us through all of the negotiations. We felt as if Doug was a long time friend. Now we know he cares about his clients.

We found ourselves in the middle of a doctor/medical practice, a hospital and an insurance company. We had appropriate insurance, but continually were denied approval for coverage. After two denied appeals, I was generously given Mr. Levy's number by another attorney I know. Mr. Levy was patient, detailed, very knowledgeable and guiding. Our initial call was very comforting and as we assembled all the paperwork for him to review, we knew we were in the most capable hands. From the beginning, he assured us we were in the right and that we had a strong case. He was correct. With Mr. Levy's professional advice and guidance, we were finally able to get the attention deserved and have our appeal accepted.

This could not have been done alone. We tried and fought with them for a year. Once we had Levy on our side, we got this resolved in 6 weeks. Case Closed! Thank you Attorney Levy! I highly recommend him and will certainly call him in the future for additional legal help.

When it comes to a personal injury attorney, one word best describes Doug Levy: THOROUGH. From the day we first talked on the phone until my case came to a most beneficial settlement 46 months later, he was always in my corner providing positive encouragement.
My traumatic experience began during a bicycle ride on a beautiful February day in Tucson. At an intersection an RV suddenly turned into my path, dragging my bike and me along the concrete. My injuries were massive.
Enter Doug Levy. The first thing he said to me: I want you to recover. That's my biggest concern.
One of Doug's strengths is knowing how to establish a rapport with his clients. In my case, as a former sports reporter/columnist, he revealed a remarkable knowledge of all sports which instantly helped us form a working relationship. He is extremely professional, yet engaging, with skills that extend far beyond the legal jargon.
From Day One, Doug told me my situation was unique. I had no idea how the process works. He convinced me patience is the key to reaching the best possible settlement. And he was completely correct.
I would highly recommend Doug Levy, who has now become a friend, as a personal injury attorney.

Doug Levy is a smart and experienced personal injury lawyer. He was extremely patient with us, repeating things over and over until we could get past the emotions of our case. Doug advised us that even though we were definitely "wronged, " we needed to understand the issues from a legal perspective.

Doug is direct and honest. He explained the aspects we could handle ourselves and when we would need to obtain counsel. Because of Doug, we were very pleased with the outcome of our settlement. We highly recommend Doug Levy!

Doug Levy is intelligent, hardworking, and knows what is best for his clients. He was kind enough to explain all the ins and outs of the suit and maintain clear communication throughout the process. If you ever need a personal injury lawyer, look no further.

Doug is an upfront and honest guy whose honestly I appreciate. I was referred to him from a friend as I had recently just moved to Arizona. Doug was attentive and persistent getting the facts we needed for my case. There were several hiccups on my claim due to the fact my claim was against my very own auto insurance for a non-insured motorist collision that left me injured. Not only did Doug fight for me when my own insurance company lowballed me with a settlement of 18k when I was due to have a whopping 100k! Which I indeed received rather quickly!
Doug is the kind of guy who will go out fighting for what you deserve!
