Levin Simes Kaiser & Gornick, LLP is a nationally recognized leader in products liability, pharmaceutical and asbestos litigation cases. In addition, the firm’s attorneys have collected over $100 million in settlements and verdicts for our clients and their families.

 

We currently represent over 1000 families in products liability cases involving terminal cancer, serious injuries to liver, kidneys, and lungs, and wrongful death due to defective products. The firm is also involved in business litigation involving unfair business practices.

 

LSKG was formed by lawyers who came together from different paths to represent injured workers and their families against big corporations. The firm’s founder, Bill Levin, spent 20 years representing some of the biggest corporations in America before he decided to use his experience to help individuals. He joined forces with Laurel Simes, who had already devoted ten years to representing injured workers and their families. Jeff Kaiser, Bill’s former partner at one of America’s largest law firms, joined the firm in 2003 and brought with him over 10 years of experience in complex product liability litigation, including hundreds of asbestos mesothelioma claims. Larry Gornick is a trial lawyer with a practice focused on products liability, consumer class actions, unfair business practices and false advertising. He has tried cases in courts across the country, including California, New York, Oregon Pennsylvania and Washington. Mr. Gornick has successfully argued numerous appeals and has resolved hundreds of cases through mediation and arbitration. Steve Stein, of counsel to the firm, is one of California’s most experienced and distinguished lawyers representing victims and was recently honored by the San Francisco Trial Lawyer’s Association. The firm is also fortunate to have Martha Berman, a plaintiff products liability trial lawyer with 15 years experience, and Anna Costa, Sean Worsey, Roger Gold, Lisa Espada, Jessica Biernier, Emily Charley Shannon Johnson, Dennis Canty, Debra DeCarli and Jesse Kenney working exclusively to represent the rights of victims of defective drugs and mesothelioma victims.
