About Marc
Biography
A little more about me. I am a third generation Washingtonian, my mother was born and raised in Northwest Washington, D.C., and my father in Northeast Washington, D.C. My father's parents immigrated to America from Russia, but my mother's parents were born in Southeast Washington, D.C., where my grandmother was raised.
I have three daughters, one at Elon University in North Carolina, and two who still attend the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Rockville, Maryland. My wife is the Resource Counselor at Silver Creek Middel School in Kensington, Maryland.

Great Attorney - Highly Recommended
We contacted Mr. Levine in January 2014 to assist us with estate planning and creation of a will. We are procrastinators and it took us till September 2017 to complete the process.

I'm so glad I was introduced to Marc Levine. He spent our initial meeting educating me about what a trust is and how it works and ben...
