Criminal Defense and Investigations Counsel in High-Stakes Matters
Levin & Associates, PLLC is a New York–based criminal defense and investigations practice led by Mr. Levin, a former federal prosecutor and former senior attorney in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. The firm represents individuals, executives, and companies in matters where criminal exposure, investigative pressure, and reputational risk converge—and where seasoned judgment from the earliest stage can meaningfully shape the outcome.
The firm’s practice focuses on white-collar criminal defense, complex investigations, fraud matters, and parallel regulatory and criminal proceedings. Levin & Associates is frequently retained at the outset of a crisis: when a client requires an immediate assessment of the government’s theory, a disciplined plan to control risk, and strategic guidance on communications, preservation, and next steps before positions harden.
A Prosecutor’s Perspective, Applied to Defense
Mr. Levin’s background informs the firm’s approach to charging decisions, evidentiary leverage, and negotiation dynamics. Levin & Associates emphasizes rigorous early case assessment, targeted fact development, and focused advocacy designed to test the government’s proof and position clients for the strongest possible resolution—whether that means no charges, dismissal, a declination, or a negotiated disposition that minimizes collateral consequences.
