20 years of experience

on your side


Gordon’s prior experience as an insurance industry insider now significantly benefits his clients, as he is able to bring a unique perspective and understanding to these cases, implementing customized case management systems to maximize their recovery and to ensure they receive the compensation to which they are entitled. Unlike many injury attorneys in the San Diego area, he actually has experience trying cases before juries. Insurance companies tend to be more afraid of attorneys with actual trial experience, which can lead to higher settlement amounts because of the insurance company’s hesitancy to go through the trial process. When he is not in the office, Gordon enjoys spending time with his wife and children. A musician and avid surfer, he spends much of his free time traveling and coaching youth basketball.

Education


San Diego Trial Attorney Gordon Levinson graduated from the University of San Francisco School of Law with his Juris Doctorate degree in 1996. During his time in law school, he was a member of the Law Review. He was also a decorated Moot Court competitor, representing his school in a national competition where he received the highest score of any individual competitor—a perfect 100.

Testimonials

“Gordon Levinson’s office made sure that I had the best of medical care, he saw me through the whole process, and he visited me several times in the hospital. He made himself available practically 24 hours a day. He went way beyond the call of duty… I can’t express. Him helping me out has really changed my life.”

Lorenz

“I was very, very blessed to find a doctor who linked me to a wonderful law group, the Levinson Law Group. It was an amazing experience to work with a law firm that was concerned about me and that set up my doctors appointments and called me up to make sure that I was doing okay. I’d recommend this law firm to anyone.”
