Getting to Know Us: An Introduction to Levy Law Group
Founded in New York City in 1998, Levy Law Group began as a boutique law practice that concentrated in federal income tax law and related litigation. The Firm is unique in the legal services world in that it offers outsourced counsel services as the family office for ultra-wealthy individuals and families. In this capacity, Levy Law Group provides legal, tax, financial, business, and insurance risk management and structuring advice to some of the most successful families around the globe . The Firm developed its first outbound investment structures for ultra-wealthy private clients in 2001.
Well before other U.S. law firms established offices and moved the practice of law overseas, Levy Law Group began representing ultra-wealthy individuals and families in international transactions; including outbound U.S. estate and gift tax planning, foreign trusts and estates. In that capacity, the Firm represented clients in tax matters and in developing structures for outbound investments to international financial centers. We still represent many of our original clients today.

Our Successes
Our clients speak for us. Here are some brief success stories from satisfied clients, in their own words:
My daughter’s father had racked up over $60,000 in child support arrears in a little over a year. Kerry took our case and worked hard to lower the arrears. The result was that we only paid $5,000 and the arrears ended. We could not have asked for better results.
-Penelope, client
I dumped over $10,000 into a divorce with little to no result and hired another attorney. I was unsatisfied with her service and went to Levy Law Group, which was the best decision I ever made. They were compassionate, attentive and got me what I wanted in my divorce! They take the time to talk to you and understand your case. I would recommend them for family law, hands down.
-Autumn, client
I was charged with something I didn’t do, and they fought the charges and had them reduced . They did an amazing job, and I am very pleased with the way they worked with me.
-Craig, client
Levy Law Group fought hard to get me the result I wanted in a divorce and custody case. They are compassionate and really care about your case and what you are going through. They work hard to get you exactly what you want and actually listen and care.
-Crystal, client
When we got married, we didn’t think we would need a prenuptial agreement, but after hearing stories from various friends and family members, we quickly realized that we needed some form of protection for our future. We turned to Steve Levy of Levy Law Group to help us prepare our prenuptial agreement. He was very thorough and detailed in helping us draft the agreement and explaining the benefits and reasoning behind having one. Through his guidance, we were able to put together an agreement that was fair and in the best interest of both of us.
-John and Jennifer, clients
