Harvey R. Levine

Over the past 25 years, he's become accustomed to racking up big bucks for his clients. He's handled more than 1,000 insurance-related cases and received verdicts or settlements of more than $1 million in 70, including $120 million from Allstate in 1999 for refunds for alleged price-gouging on homeowners' policies. In his latest case, he secured a $5.5 million settlement in July for former Charger Steve Foley. The linebacker sued the city of Coronado and an off-duty police officer, who had followed the him home in 2006 on suspicion of drunk driving. Foley was shot during the incident, ending his career.
