Brian J. Levy
Registered in Syosset, with a Bronx office. His site says “more than 15 years” and “15 years” in three places; the register makes it twenty-two. The rideshare page is candid in a way most are not — it tells you a suit blaming Uber or Lyft for a driver's negligence is unlikely to succeed.
The bar record
We read Brian J. Levy in the New York State Unified Court System’s Attorney Detail Report. Only the shaded green row is generated by the court; the rows marked attorney-supplied were filed by him.
New York vouches for one line of this. The court system’s own disclaimer states that the Detail Report contains information provided by the attorney, except registration status, which is generated from the Office of Court Administration’s database. It further states that an attorney’s good standing and any information regarding disciplinary actions must be confirmed with the appropriate Appellate Division Department. So “currently registered” is the court’s own fact. “No record of discipline” is displayed by the court system but comes with an instruction to verify it elsewhere — and we haven’t. That is why the discipline figure above is a dash and not a tick.
And it tells you which office to ask. Brian J. Levy was admitted through the 1st Department, so that is the department a reader would need to write to. Of the twenty-one lawyers on our New York pages, fifteen were admitted through the Second and six through the First. No other register we use sends you somewhere else to finish the check — and none of the others tells you where.
What the record shows
His biography and rideshare page both say the firm has practised for fifteen years, in three places between them. OCA records his admission on 22 March 2004 — twenty-two years.Verified
The rideshare page says plainly that because the companies have successfully argued their drivers are contractors rather than employees, it is unlikely that a suit blaming the business for its driver’s negligence will succeed. Telling a prospective client what probably will not work is not what most of these pages do.Verified
The firm says it speaks Spanish and Mandarin and gives offices in Syosset and the Bronx. New York’s register carries no languages field — Washington’s does — so that is his claim alone.Verified
He was admitted through the First Department, one of six of our twenty-one New York listings.Verified
What the firm says
He says he graduated from Syracuse University and received his law degree from Quinnipiac University School of Law — the register confirms the law school.Reported
He says his memberships include the American Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association and the New York State Trial Lawyers Association.Reported
He says the firm has handled more than 1,500 cases and recovered a stated eight-figure total. We print no recovery figures.Reported
