FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

Will I actually speak with Howard Raphaelson or Andrew Levine?
Yes. As a boutique firm, Raphaelson & Levine emphasizes partner-led representation. Cases are handled directly by the named partners — not passed off to associates or paralegals — which is specifically why the firm limits its caseload.
Do they handle cases outside Manhattan?
Yes. The firm serves all five NYC boroughs plus Long Island, with offices in Manhattan (14 Penn Plaza), Queens (near Flushing–Main St), and Woodbury, Long Island.
What if the other driver was uninsured or underinsured?
Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims are a significant part of the practice. Your own auto policy may provide coverage, and the firm knows how to maximize recovery in these situations.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in New York?
New York's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. Claims against government entities may have a shorter notice deadline of just 90 days. Contact the firm immediately to protect your rights.
What awards has the firm received?
Raphaelson & Levine has been recognized by New York Magazine, Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, Avvo, and Martindale-Hubbell. Both partners carry the AV Preeminent rating — the highest peer review rating available.
