***** 5 Star Service! ***** Brett Vigodsky, Debra Bourne and the behind the scenes members put a considerable amount of work into my father's case during his most serious time of need and when the odds were stacked against him due to the situation. Even with those terrible odds, somehow this Team managed to still help my dad be able to have a more secure financial future when all else had been lost. Our family will forever appreciate your time, energy and gentle care that your Team provided "US" during this delicate situation with my dad. Thank you!

As a recent recipient of the services of Levin Papantonio Rafferty Law Firm, I can truly say, they were extremely helpful in fighting for me to win my Social Security Disability case. The case was a little unique overall; notwithstanding, Brett Vigodsky, Meggan, Debbie, and the gang all worked tirelessly toward obtaining a favorable decision. I would recommend the Levin’s Law Firm to anyone in need of assistance while dealing with overwhelming odds against them. As a ten year old child, in 1969, I remembered the earth shattering loss of my older brother, drowning in a pool at the Naval Air Ellyson Field, at the age of 12. Schools were still segregated in the south, and it played a role in my brother’s demise. My father, a proud man, never wanting to ask anyone for help, but at the loss of my brother, his first born son, he solicited the assistance of the Levin Law Firm. Even back then, this firm treated multicultural communities with dignity and respect, that’s all he required. The Levin Law firm was there for our family then and now. As a pillar for justice and equality in the Pensacola area, may the Levin Papantonio Rafferty Law Firm continue to stand tall and strong for all that are in need of their assistance. Now, 52 years later, at 62, I didn’t hesitate to require the assistance of Brett Vigodsky, and the Levin’s law firm to assist me in my disability needs, during my latter stage of life. H.

Brett and his staff are truly amazing. They all treated me like family. We shared a lot along the way of it all. I highly recommended him and his staff to anyone. God bless them all.

It was one of the most informative conferences i have attended in several years. The entire leadership team was extremely welcoming and responsive to all my questions and concerns. Good value . I will attend the next one in April .

We felt so welcomed after not being with you for so long. So we’ll organized and super educational.

In 2017, I was involved in a serious car accident, while working. I had never dealt with Workers Compensation before, and I wanted to believe the adjuster who spoke kindly to me on the telephone, assuring me that they were going to take care of me. Unfortunately, I immediately encountered delays in scheduling the necessary reconstructive surgeries which would be my best chance to walk again. At this point, my husband and I decided to contact Levin Papantonio for a consultation. I knew I needed guidance, and that is exactly what I said during my initial consultation with Brett Vigodsky. We sat in his office and explained all that had happened. He listened to my story, my concerns and my hesitations about retaining any legal counsel. He was incredibly patient, understanding and at the same time, he knew exactly what I was facing. Without being pushy, his strong demeanor made me know that I could trust him. Over the following four years, he was my silent strength behind the scenes. He guided me every step of the way, and helped me navigate the gauntlet that is the Workers Compensation system. When it came time for mediation to consider settling my case, that silent strength was no longer silent, and he was ready for battle. He continued to have my best interests at heart and fought for me ultimately resolving my case beyond my expectations, while continuing to maintain the level of respect I was adamant about towards my employer. Brett Vigodsky is honest, forthright, diligent and caring. He is not only a class act attorney, but he is an advocate for his clients. Along with Mr. Vigodsky, we were introduced to Debra Bourne. Debbie, is more than a paralegal. She is a fount of information and understanding, wrapped up in a loving and caring package. There was no question too ridiculous, no email too long or rambling, or an issue too complicated for her to take on and assist with. Debbie is skilled at navigating the Workers Compensation system, and is proactive in the fight to move the process along for her clients. She on numerous occasions fought on my behalf for approvals for medical tests, necessary home health equipment and even medication approvals. She has been relentless in her drive to advocate for her clients. Over my four years of involvement with Workers Compensation litigation, Debbie has been there to provide emotional support, answer questions, give direction and advocate for my needs. Outside of her work as Mr. Vigodsky’s paralegal, Debbie, became a trusted place for me to receive emotional counsel. We communicated most often through email and Debbie would check on me if she hadn’t heard from me every few days. She encouraged me to express myself and my concerns, and acted as a place of refuge for my broken spirit. I am in constant physical pain from my injuries and no matter how emotional, sad or despondent I was, I knew I could vent to Debbie, and she would offer me kind words, prayers and someone to talk to when no one else seemed to understand what I was trying to say. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her guidance and caring. She is very knowledgeable of the Workers Compensation and Social Security systems, and continues to fight for me to receive the benefits I need to move forward with the rest of my life.

I called discussed the situation I had very helpful when I talked to him but the thing is they said they'd call me back and never did I haven't heard anything from them since so I won't be calling them again and I had a great case for them

Let me start off by saying when you have a car accident, there are so many emotions and things you don’t think about. The first thing you should do, no matter what any insurance company tells you to do, is get an Attorney! Living in the Navarre, FL area and close to Pensacola, FL, there are so many Law firms to choose from. So what do you do? Well being retired military, I did some digging, and diligent research, and also found a friendly face! Who I found was Rachael R. Gilmer at Levin, Papantonio, and Rafferty in Pensacola, FL. At my first introduction, I was very impressed, from someone who was younger than myself, her professionalism, knowledge, and will to get me the “Best Results” possible for my case, I was immediately willing to go forward with Mrs. Gilmer. There was never a moment throughout the duration of my case where she or her dedicated staff made me feel like I had made the wrong choice. I was always informed or every change in my case, or any information update, new timetables, and any variable you can imagine. Mrs. Gilmer unlike some other law firms I have dealt with in the past, actually cares and is compassionate about her clients and it shows! If you are looking for an Attorney who will work for YOU and has YOUR best interests at heart, look no further than Rachael Gilmer, you won’t regret your choice!
