About Dmitry
Biography
Dmitry Lev is an experienced litigator known for his winning jury trial track record in Massachusetts Courts. A cum laude graduate of the Roger Williams University School of Law, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Attorney Lev is admitted to practice law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the State of New York, as well as the United States District and Bankruptcy Courts for the District of Massachusetts. He is an active member of the the Massachusetts Bar Association (where he served as the Chair of the Solo Small Firm Practice Management Section Council), the Boston Bar Association (where he served as the co-chair of the Education Committee of the Bankruptcy Section), and the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.
He is involved with the Volunteer Lawyers Project and the several Mock Trial competitions where he serves as a recurring judge. Attorney Lev regularly teaches at area universities and law schools, has appeared as a legal expert on the radio, and has been quoted as a commentator on various legal issues in the media, including Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly and BusinessWeek. He was recognized for his success by the SuperLawyers rating service, having been named a Massachusetts Rising Star for nine years (2009-2017) and a Massachusetts Super Lawyer for the past three (2020-2022).
Attorney Lev's professional background includes information technology, finance, and education fields; he has served as the Chief Financial Officer of three non-profit organizations.
Attorney Lev concentrates his law practice in two areas:
- Consumer Bankruptcy (which extends to defense of debtors served with lawsuits, consumer protection, and taxation)
- Criminal Trials (as well as representation in 209A Domestic Abuse and 258E Harassment Prevention Order cases)
Overall, Attorney Lev has handled over 1,200 cases running the gamut from simple matters that never reached a courtroom to complex litigation resulting in lengthy jury trials in state and federal courts to multi-million dollar disputes that reached the Federal appellate levels and resulted in published decisions.
Outside the courtroom, Attorney Lev enjoys spending time with his family, local politics, theater, international travel and cuisine, and teaching lessons to elementary school students in the areas of government and mathematics.
