Leav & Steinberg, LLP

At L & S, we are committed to providing honest, compassionate service, even when we cannot take on a case. We believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. Our dedication to this principle is what fosters trust and builds enduring relationships.

At Leav & Steinberg LLP, our commitment to seeking justice for 16-year-old Angellyh Yambo, who was tragically taken by a ghost gun in NYC, remains unwavering. The manufacturer, Polymer80 Inc., known for distributing untraceable fi****ms, is now attempting to evade its legal responsibilities in court. Attorney Anthony Beneduce is opposing Goldstein Law Partners' motion to withdraw as counsel for Polymer80 in the ongoing civil action.

"Polymer80 is using legal tricks to attempt to disappear from this case, but we won’t let them dodge accountability. They profit from the death of children like Angellyh Yambo, but we will show them that corporate greed is no excuse,” Attorney Anthony Beneduce states.

Beneduce continues to say “This is yet another deception from a company that has already betrayed the public by flooding our streets with untraceable, deadly weapons. We will fight relentlessly to ensure the Yambo family gets their day in court and that Polymer80 faces the consequences of their actions. They may try to escape, but we will pursue justice every step of the way."

We stand with the victims of gun violence and will relentlessly pursue justice until companies like Polymer80 are held responsible.

We are thrilled to share two significant victories achieved by our dedicated team, celebrating recent summary judgment and preclusion wins for our clients. Sometimes, the end result is just a footnote to the hard work that leads up to it. The efforts put in beforehand are what truly secure 100% justice for our clients. We are incredibly proud of our attorneys, Robert L. Rose and Anthony M. Beneduce, for positioning two separate cases for successtul outcomes.

Lawmakers in Albany, New York, have passed the Grieving Families Act for the third time, addressing Governor Kathy Hochul's previous concerns. The outdated wrongful death laws have been a longstanding issue, failing to protect New Yorkers, especially families affected by maternal mortality. The bill aims to bring justice and equity to those who have suffered preventable deaths and their surviving loved ones by holding negligent parties accountable. The reform, championed by various lawmakers and supported by influential organizations, received overwhelming bipartisan support. Now, it awaits the Governor's signature to become law, with advocates emphasizing its importance in modernizing New York's legal framework and supporting grieving families.
