In early 2018, my brother went to a Scottsdale, Arizona restaurant. He was over served alcohol at this restaurant and subsequently collapsed. He died a few days later at a nearby hospital. My mother and I were shocked and in disbelief.
We began a search for a competent, tenacious and aggressive Arizona attorney experienced in DRAM shop law who would investigate and evaluate such a case. We found Mick Levin in Phoenix.
After discussing the case with him, he told us it would be a complex, time-consuming matter and we decided to move foward with the case.
Mick, and his colleague, John Robertson II, filed a multi-million dollar action against the restaurant in late 2018 in the Arizona Superior Court. The matter was later moved to Federal Court in Arizona. The case had many twists, turns and delays, but it eventually ended up in mediation. During the mediation phase, Mick personally traveled to Ohio to represent my elderly mother in person during the Zoom mediation hearing. We were unable to reach an agreement during mediation, so Mick decided to take our case to trial. In the days prior to the trial, the defendants tried to settle the matter numerous times.
Mick worked tirelessly obtain a reasonable settlement offer.
Just prior to the scheduled trial (and after more than 3.5 years of litigation in State and Federal Court and a failed mediation attempt), Mick was able to settle the matter with a financial judgement that reasonably reflected the immeasurable loss our family sustained. Mick even negotiated the initial settlement document to ensure the agreement language was equitable.
I am confident any other lawyer would have either failed us or settled the matter for far less. I would very highly recommend Mick Levin to anyone who is seeking a tenacious and knowledgeable lawyer for a matter involving very complex litigation.

Mr Levin helped me get justice!! I had a personal injury case where I had unknowingly hired an insensitive unprofessional individual that actually called himself a lawyer!! Mr Levin took my case when no one else would, he represented me pro bono! He was genuinely very upset that this other lawyer did not complete his responsibilities on my case! Mr Levin was amazing throughout the entire trial! It was exciting to see how he presented my case and how the entire jury was so attentive to every word he spoke! He won my case and I was awarded $175k!! His staff was so professional and caring towards myself and my situation! Christy Berry his Legal Assistant was on top of it, always informing me on my case! Both Mr Levin and Ms Berry are so passionate and caring about their work and their clients! I highly recommend Mick Levin to represent you all as your Lawyer!! Thank you Mr Levin!!! You are awesome!!

I hired Mr. Levine for a legal matter involving my former employer. Mr. Lavin was very assertive and aggressive with opposing counsel which intern resolved the case in my favor very expeditiously saving me attorney cost and court costs. I highly recomend Mr. Lavin for anyone needing legal representation.

Mick is a fighter! No doubt about it! I never doubted that he had the skills, intellect, ability to argue a case or support staff needed to take my case across the finish line! Mick and another attorney teamed up and took a chance on me when no other attorney would. I had lost my case on a technicality two years prior and NOT A SINGLE attorney would handle my appeal. I forged ahead on my own with help of family and got it overturned. It was the hardest thing I had ever done, but I only had to argue that the judge did not do his job. Once it was overturned, I had to actually proved my case. I did not have the legal chops to do that, even though everything that had happened to me was wrong! I missed a hearing because I did something wrong and was not notified, and started to spiral. Again, I contacted so many attorneys for consults. This case was 5 years old, and the size of a mountain and Mick said YES! He fought for me!!!! Together with the other attorney, these two were my warriors and super heroes! Finally, after 7 years...my case is done and favorable! I cannot thank Mick Levin and Tina enough for taking that chance on me and fighting for what was right! They were there for me when nobody else would be!

This was the first lawsuit I had ever been involved in and Mick was wonderful at explaining the entire process and keeping me up to date. I felt he was constantly working on my case and whenever I called he always had an answer to my question. I had a personal injury that was afflicted by a third part, some of the details of the case were a little murky but Mick believed in my story and saw it through to the end, which ended up taking around 3 years. At the end of the day, Mick was the best possible lawyer for my case and I couldn't be happier with my settlement. Thanks Mick!

To whoever is out there that takes the time to read this review. I've known Mick for over 35 years. I was recently in an accident where it wasn't my fault, Mick and his team, went to the fullest extent to help me get back on my feet after this accident. Him and his team did the best job they could, and I was very happy with the outcome. So if there's anyone out there that needs a good attorney that goes the extra mile and make sure that you're happy and pleased with his services, hire this Man! Mick and Christy his partner become almost family during the case. They call you and tell you any kind of information that comes in, they send you all the information in the letters in the mail, through email and every way possible. The whole time I was concerned on if I was going to win this case, Mick advised me, you have my word, you are going to be in good hands, and I believe him now. So Mick if you ever do read this thank you again for being the best lawyer, that I could possibly of ever had. I will lead anyone that needs a great lawyer right to you!!!!!!!!!

Attorney Levin took a serious med malpractice case involving my Mom, who was a victim of gross negligence. One year and 3 months later, she passed; case was amended as wrongful death case. Levin as per the AZ State Bar, Case No: 16-0083, committed ethical violations that damaged our case.
As per Attorney Discipline Probable Cause Committee of AZ Supreme Court., Levin was admonished by failing to diligently represent and expedite litigation, intentionally delayed the cases, failing to submit any discovery requests on clients' behalf, and refusing to consult w/or use expert witnesses. Failed to comply w/rules pertaining to discovery & failing to comply w/ CT orders.
I learned Defendants had Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Summary Adjudication, which needed action! Called Levin, he stated that I should allow dismissal, “without prejudice”, meaning, at a later date, it could be filed again. Means starting from square one!. Defendants' Motions contend that Dismissal should be granted because of “lack of prosecution”. Their Motion was alluding to the fact that nothing was being done on my case.
I called AZ State Bar, filed formal complaint against Levin.
He was angry for contacting them, and immediately filed Court Order to withdrew as attorney of record, which was later granted.
Therefore, I went in Pro-Per to CT Hearing, alone, without any representation, to stop Dismissal from being granted. I stood before Judge and to the right of me, were 3 high-powered lawyers, representing the physicians,the defendants in the case. Motion to Dismiss was to be heard during this CT Appearance.
Judge denied Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, and issued an Order permitting me 90 days in which to seek another Attorney and to hire medical expert witnesses, so that these witnesses’ certifications and merits of affidavits, which were required a year or more ago, would FINALLY get completed and filed into the CT.
90 days is a short time-period to hire another attorney, have new lawyer review court records, and hire med expert witnesses.I was having difficulty with Levin, getting all records & docs that belonged in my case file.
Early on, Levin in emails to me claimed he had excellent expert witnesses aboard that would help us, but then later, after approx. 2 years passed, he claims witnesses no longer aboard; I’ll never actually know if he truly had expert med witnesses, There was absolutely NOTHING in my file after I left, showing that he spoke to ANY witnesses, no affidavits of merit from them, no attorney notes or communication, no contact information, NOTHING!! This is what our entire case hinged upon – expert witnesses! Meanwhile, AZ State Bar was conducting their investigation, which took more than a year to complete.
After investigation,AZ State Bar Discipline Probable Cause Committee of Supreme CT, entered the Order of Admonition, Probation, (LOMAP and CLE, and costs) against Levin.It stated that Levin violated ER 1.3, ER 3.2, ER 3.4(c), ER 8.4(d) and Rule 54 (c). As per violations, he “failed to diligently represent and expedite litigation, and violated those rules in part by intentionally delaying the cases, failing to submit any discovery requests on his clients’ behalf, and refusing to consult with or use expert witnesses that his client suggested”. I tried calling one attorney after another, for months, but no attorney likes taking a damaged case from a previous attorney who did no depositions, no interrogatories, no affidavits, no declarations. After years, witnesses can't be found, a case gets "stale". The SOL time-period has since passed; it can't be refiled.
Still grieving for Mom, and dismayed as to what happened. I suffered extreme grief and agonizing misery, but I'm grateful for efforts by the Arizona State Bar. They truly care about the citizens of AZ. I hope others never have to experience what I experienced throughout this ordeal.

The blessing that came my way through Mick Levin and his team was nothing short of amazing! I was involved in a very complicated case that unfortunately, no fault of Mr. Levin's, took years to resolve. Mr. Levin demonstrated patience, understanding and integrity to bring about a much awaited conclusion to the matter. Mr. Levin restored my trust in attorneys and I would recommend him to the world. Thank you!

I called around and got referred to Mick Levin for my personal injury case. I found that I was very fortunate to be referred to an attorney who was very well versed in his field. Mick Levin was a professional throughout my case and handled everything as I would have expected. He kept me up to date and kept me well prepared for the events that were coming.
I am glad that Mick Levin is out there serving people with real unjust issues and I would go back to Mick if anything ever happened to me or a family member again. Mick knows what he is doing and if you put your trust in him he will be honest and deliver the best he can and do it honestly with constant communication. Great attorney and a great man!

I was so fortunate to have Mick and his team handle my case. From my very first encounter to the the settling of my case I was consulted, assured and kept apprised of everything. I felt as if my best interests were truly looked after every step of the way. Mick also has a wonderful team working for him. Tina was always pleasant and professional and Sandra Lemon who also worked on my case was so kind and compassionate. Mick and his team truly worked to get resolution in my case, with a wonderful outcome. The best was given extremely realistic expectations and they delivered and followed through. So very grateful!!

Mick met with me to discuss my potential claim with co-counsel Chris Copple. It was not in the cards to work together in pursuit of my claim for his firm, but I have the highest regard for how they both separated themselves after consultation. I have a tough case that will need something more in line with direct experience with what I have. The thing that prompted me the most for this review was that they sat in person and discussed the reason why they were not capable, and in complete detail. Most other attorneys if are not willing to work do a simple copy and paste format on letter head which I find so impersonal. Mick has emailed me a couple times since and expressed the ability to help with questions I might have come up. This speaks volumes about his compation for his clients.....If you get the chance to work with Mick you will be pleased!

I was very fortunate to find Mick Levin to help my mother in Scottsdale, AZ with a claim against her insurance company. I live in Ohio and when mother needed help I called Mick. Mick visited with my mother personally and made sure he knew everything he could about her claim. Mick and his staff stayed in constant contact with me in Ohio. Because of the dedication of Mick and his staff my mother's case was settled quickly and in full. I would highly recommend Mick and his staff to anyone that needed professional, dedicated, and effective legal representation.
