Michael J. Leizerman, Truck Accident Attorney
I work on truck accident litigation across the United States. I am also the author of the multi-volume treatise Litigating Truck Accident Cases, published by West Publishing.
I am happy to offer advice and help as my time permits. I limit the number of cases I personally handle to a small number in order to devote the full time, energy and resources to get the best results possible for my clients. If I cannot accept your case, I can often recommend another attorney who will.
