Bruce Levinson, Attorney-At-Law

Real Estate, Business, & Litigation Attorney

Zealously and Intelligently Advocating for People and Businesses Since 1980

Headquartered in New York City with a satellite office in Westchester, the Law Office of Bruce Levinson has been a zealous advocate for our clients who have ranged from mom and pop shopkeepers to celebrities and multi-million dollar corporations. As a measure of the firm’s skill and level of care, many of our clients have been with us for over 30 years, and have entrusted us with the legal needs of their children, family and friends.

The Law Office of Bruce Levinson is a boutique firm which gives highly personalized attention to the people and companies it represents.  No one gets passed off to a paralegal, and everyone’s calls and emails are returned.  Since we do not have a cookie-cutter volume practice, and because we listen and understand individual needs, our clients feel protected, reassured, and confident in the result they seek to achieve. They know how hard we fight for them and how we strive to bear as much of the burden as possible in litigated and contentious matters, relieving our clients of anxiety, aggravation, and stress.

Bruce has practiced law for over 40 years and founded the Law Office of Bruce Levinson in 1993. He handles matters in both Federal and State courts throughout the City of New York, as well as in Westchester, Nassau and Putnam Counties. His work includes both trials and appeals.

He is an experienced and knowledgeable practitioner in several fields of specialization including real estate, litigation, and contracts. He is also one of the leading New York attorneys handling cases under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA), and has represented farmers and wholesale distributors of fruit and vegetables from all over the country. His entertainment practice has encompassed working with film, television and radio personalities, as well as musicians, clubs and record labels. 

Bruce has been interviewed regarding legal matters by The New York Times, Habitat, and other local print media, and has appeared on several New York television news programs related to his cases. He is an accomplished writer, has served on the boards of multiple non-profit organizations, and was at the vanguard of bringing movie studios to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
