Edward A. Steinberg is a New York City personal injury attorney at Leav & Steinberg LLP, where he has represented victims of catastrophic injury and medical malpractice for more than 20 years. At Leav & Steinberg, he has advocated for hundreds of clients and their families in times of need, securing millions of dollars on their behalf. Countless successful results involved helping victims of negligence even after other attorneys in New York rejected the cases.
Mr. Steinberg started out as a high school student at a prominent negligence firm and continued working there while attending college and law school in the evenings. He served as a member and editor of the law review while in law school. After being admitted to the bar and practicing for some time at that firm, Mr. Steinberg met Mr. Leav, and they formed what has grown to be one of the most aggressive, successful firms practicing negligence litigation in New York.
One of Mr. Steinberg’s noteworthy achievements involved a woman who was gravely injured, but the responsible party refused to compensate her for her injuries. The client ultimately recovered more money than was available in the defendant’s insurance policy, making Mr. Steinberg one of the only attorneys in New York City to do so.
He is one of the youngest members to serve on the Board of Directors of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, the New York State Bar Association, and the American Trial Lawyers Association. He went on to serve as Past President of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association (NYSTLA) and currently holds a leadership position on the American Association for Justice (AAJ) Board of Governors, where he is also a member of the AAJ Leaders Forum. Every attorney at Leav & Steinberg LLP is a member of AAJ, and Mr. Steinberg holds a ranking position within the organization. He has been counsel to the Brain Injury Society, a non-profit organization that helps those who suffer from traumatic brain injuries. He also supports the local community through Student Sponsor Partners, a mentorship and scholarship program for New York City students.
Mr. Steinberg has carried his work ethic and dedication to his personal life as well. He has run the NYC Marathon as well as several half marathons. For the last three years, he has participated in a 92-mile race across the entire state of New Jersey as part of a seven-person relay team.
