Construction Law, Medical Malpractice and Products Liability

About Howard M. Levinson

Spanning the last 40 years, Mr. Levinson has built an impressive record of client victories including verdicts at trial, for both plaintiffs and defendants, in cases involving commercial disputes, construction law, medical malpractice and products liability.

He has been nationally recognized for his skills and success in the courtroom by the American Board of Trial Advocates, who extended him membership several years ago.

Mr. Levinson began his legal career first serving as a Deputy Attorney General for Pennsylvania. Once he joined the firm, he became heavily involved in construction law and medical malpractice law and has actively lectured on both subjects to members of the Bar and the Luzerne County Medical Society. He possesses a thorough familiarity with the following Codes, Statutes, Contract Documents, and Subjects: Municipal Construction Contract Law; School Building Construction Code; Contractor and Subcontractor Payment Act; Contract claims before the Board of Claims; State Procurement Code; AIA Construction Documents and General Conditions Applicable to Contractors, Subcontractors and Architects; and Arbitration before the American Arbitration Association-all of which is invaluable in representing contractors, owners, operators and architects and engineers from around the state. In the medical malpractice area, he has been gratified to win substantial awards for his injured clients. A graduate of Lehigh University, Mr. Levinson received his law degree from Georgetown University where he served as a student editor of the Federal Bar Journal.

In 2011, Mr. Levinson was selected to become a fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America (“LCA”), a Trial Lawyer Honorary Society composed of less than one-half of one percent of American lawyers.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
