Roger A. Levy is presently of counsel and former partner with Laughlin, Falbo, Levy & Moresi, LLP, in San Francisco, California. Mr. Levy has been a practicing attorney in the state of California since January of 1970. During that time he has devoted his practice almost entirely to work-place injuries. He first represented claimants, then joined the defense firm of Sedgwick, Detert, Moran and Arnold in 1973 and became a partner five years later. There he concentrated on defending California state matters until the 1972 amendments to the LHWCA took hold, at which time he changed his focus to federal cases. In 1985 he became a founding partner in Laughlin, Falbo, Levy & Moresi, the nation's largest firm whose practice is devoted exclusively to the defense of workers' compensation cases. There he has continued his emphasis on the LHWCA and related matters. He has presented at numerous conferences and seminars throughout the country on issues including LHWCA jurisdiction, third-party remedies, mediation, the Defense Base Act, and War Hazards Compensation Act, and has authored numerous articles and publications on these subjects.
