Steven Leibel Founding Attorney

Steven Leibel

Founding Attorney

In 1988, Steven Leibel began representing individuals in serious personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases. Since the beginning, Steve believed that his responsibility as an attorney goes beyond knowing the law and giving legal information and advice. Rather, he wants to build long-lasting relationships with those he is fighting for. Steve wants his clients to know that when they trust Leibel Law, they’re trusting someone who sees them as a name, not a number — a story, not just a case.

 

"For over 40 years, I have fought for my clients like family," Leibel said. "It’s important to me to listen to your needs intently, communicate effectively, and win you the benefits you’re entitled to."
