Accelerated Rehabilitation
"Levin Ginsburg is like family to us at Accelerated. They did a small acquisition for us about 15 years ago and now they handle all our legal matters. The reason is trust. They have seen us grow from one clinic to the 87 we now have – and they have treated us personally throughout that time. They give their honest opinions with no sugar coating. We know that we are in the best of hands with their counsel."

"We've worked with Levin Ginsburg since the 1980s. What we really like about them is that they have the people and the expertise to handle all the different areas that a business owner needs – like real estate, acquisitions, employment and wealth management. One of the best aspects of their service is their ability to educate and provide options for a business owner, both for the business and personally. Over the years, we have grown with them and have a very high level of comfort and confidence with this firm."

"Astute, responsive and practical. Those are three reasons why we work with Levin Ginsburg. They treat us like an important client and understand what we mean when we say there is some urgency to a matter. They consistently deliver top-notch legal work and advice and take the initiative in following-up with us. They are also excellent at distinguishing between the business issues and the legal ones, and are helpful in giving us their insight in similar situations they have handled."

"I tend to have many ideas.  Levin Ginsburg is the first firm to embrace and assist me with bringing each of them to life. I wanted a law firm that understood the mindset of an entrepreneur – from awareness of tight purse strings to protecting ideas.  I needed a team that understood the technology space, and Levin Ginsburg's expertise in the intellectual property field led me to secure the protections I needed.  I own and operate two different businesses and am developing a third.  My Levin Ginsburg team ably shifts from one to the other with ease and efficiency, and ensures that each business benefits from the activities of the other."

Gold Coast Bank
"Levin Ginsburg is efficient, responsive and experienced. Our first engagement of LG stemmed from an emergency. We needed results quickly and LG jumped into the matter with the urgency the situation demanded. Given the attention and service provided by LG, we intend to utilize them for additional transactions and look forward to growing our business with LG's counsel in the future."

International Crystal Laboratories
"I met Bob Levin when he served as the legal counsel for the seller of a business that my client was buying. At the time, I was in-house legal counsel for the BOC group, which was the acquiring company. I was so impressed by his professionalism that I retained him to represent BOC in connection with other acquistions. I have since retired from the practice of law, but my own business has retained Levin Ginsburg for a range of matters over the years ranging from acquisitions to litigation, and we have found them to be a superb firm for all manner of issues encountered by middle market businesses."
Robert Herpst
Managing Director and CEO, International Crystal Laboratories

"When you really need a sound opinion, Levin Ginsburg is there for you. We've worked with them since the 1970s and they provide the capability and knowledge of a big law firm without the layers of bureaucracy or expense. They are good in a number of areas and they get the job done for us. The strongest aspect of their firm is the people they have and the way they know how to work with businesses like ours."
