Dedicated Advocate for Personal Injury and Abuse Survivors

Leah Costanzo is a highly experienced trial attorney with a proven track record of success against some of the top trial lawyers in Western New York. She initially worked on behalf of the defense in trial cases, including as a senior trial lawyer for a major insurance company. Currently, Leah represents individuals and their families who have been injured. At Steve Boyd, PC, our team of personal injury attorneys in Buffalo and Rochester believes that having a former insurance defense lawyer like Leah provides a significant advantage when representing injured clients. Her unique perspective and knowledge of the approach and strategy used by our opponents is invaluable. Some insurance companies may try to settle personal injury cases quickly by paying the lowest amount possible, while others may fight for every settlement dollar. Regardless of the situation, Leah is always ready to fight for our clients. She conducts a thorough investigation to ensure that our injured clients receive the maximum compensation allowed by law.
