Attorney Information
Overview
Leon Bassil is a personal injury attorney at Sweet James Accident Attorneys and a 2026 Super Lawyers Rising Star who has secured bad faith settlements at 13 times policy limits and taken cases all the way to trial. He is a tenacious advocate for clients injured in motor vehicle accidents, premises liability incidents, dog bites, and wrongful death cases, and is admitted to practice in California.
Leon earned his Juris Doctor from Pacific Coast University School of Law and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with an emphasis in Middle East Studies from the University of California, Irvine. Before focusing exclusively on plaintiff’s work, he spent two years in workers’ compensation defense (2020-2022) and over a decade as a maritime boarding agent (2007-2020) – a background that sharpened his attention to detail and his ability to perform under pressure. He is an active member of the Beverly Hills Bar Association, the Consumer Attorneys of California, and the Long Beach Bar Association, and has presented at the LCN 2022 Convention.
At Sweet James Accident Attorneys, Leon’s drive to outperform expectations – whether at the negotiating table or in the courtroom – means his clients have an advocate who simply refuses to settle for less than they deserve.
