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.

Steve Boyd and his staff members made me feel very supported during my lawsuit. When Steve appointed Leah Costanzo to my case, I could not have been more pleased with her abilities as an attorney. She is knowledgeable, tireless, empathetic, and possesses excellent negotiating skills. I was thrilled with how she handled my case from beginning to end. I would also like to comment that Stefanie Garigal, Sr. Paralegal, was efficient, friendly, and highly competent as well. This office hit it out of the park, and I am forever grateful. KUDOS on a job well done!
