Episode Details:
Michael Levine -- a partner at Rappaport, Glass, Levine & Zullo LLP known as "Motorcycle Mike" -- explains how he secured justice for 33-year-old air traffic controller Kevin Barrett, who endured a painful through-the-knee amputation after a pick-up truck collided with his motorcycle and crushed his right leg. The driver of the truck abruptly cut off Kevin, who was going 10 miles per hour over the speed limit, while making a left turn. Kevin uses a prosthetic limb as a result of this catastrophic injury. A Suffolk County, New York jury returned a $5,750,000 verdict, assigning 63% of the negligence to the defendant.

Guest Bio:
Michael Levine
Michael Levine is, without a doubt, the prime example of a “Go-Getter”. In over 35 years Michael has never stopped chasing after perfection, and his reputation and record are a shining reflection of this. If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney who is a rare combination of experience, hard-charging, tactical, spirited, and unfailingly caring, you’ve found him.
At RGLZ we sometimes wonder how Michael finds the time and energy to do everything he does. He lectures often on his areas of expertise before the bar associations of Suffolk and New York State, serves on the Grievance and Judicial Screening committees for those bar associations, is on the board of directors of the Suffolk County Bar Association, writes articles for legal journals, has served as the President of the more than 4000 member strong New York State Trial Lawyers’ Association, is Mayor of his home town of Old Field, NY, and still finds time to be an active part of the Long Island motorcycle community as Motorcycle Mike Esq.
This is all on top of a thriving practice here at RGLZ, where Michael handles litigation in numerous types of personal injury cases including motorcycle accidents, auto accidents, truck accidents, premises liability accidents, construction accidents, and railroad and subway accidents. He is also a friend of labor unions, taking cases for the Transit Workers Union and other large unions in New York.
Despite this nearly insane workload, Michael Levine is also regarded as a true friend to his clients. He prides himself on providing round-the-clock access for his clients, regularly taking their calls personally at all hours of the day. This is backed up by the fact that, in his entire career, Michael Levine has never had a grievance filed against him, and many of his clients remain friends to this day. There simply aren’t many attorneys out there who can make a claim like that. Despite Michael’s dedication to improving both himself and his profession as a whole, his clients always come first, and his priorities are always simple.
“In my time as a personal injury attorney, I’ve seen almost all there is to see. A large part of my life is coming into other people’s lives in what is likely their worst moments; and it’s tough. It hurts to see people in these situations. But at the same time, it’s what drives me. I know that I can make a difference for these people. And if, at the end of my time with them, I can see them smile, and feel just that little bit better… That’s what I do all of this for.”
