Mr. Levin has successfully resolved numerous cases involving Elder Abuse and Neglect, Financial Elder Abuse, and Trust Contests by settlement, arbitration and trial.

LAW PRACTICE

Mr. Levin is uniquely suited to litigate cases involving the elderly, which often involve a blend of civil and probate litigation, including financial fraud, trust contests, breach of fiduciary duty, isolation, negligence, and elder neglect and abuse. During the first half of his legal career, Mr. Levin handled a variety of litigation cases, including personal injury, products liability, wrongful death, child abuse, and U.S. Tax Court cases. Approximately 25 years ago, Mr. Levin began litigating elder neglect and abuse cases. Since that time, Mr. Levin’s practice has evolved to focus on elder neglect and abuse, financial elder abuse, trust estate litigation, and Will contests. Mr. Levin has resolved numerous cases in court and binding arbitration, and has drafted winning appeals in his practice areas.
