Steve’s abiding respect for the creative process was the spark that ignited Stephen Levin’s lifelong passion for the arts. An avid photographer, his photographs have appeared in many publications.
It was a natural evolution for Steve to gravitate to the prosecution, protection and enforcement of the creative rights of individuals and companies in their intellectual property. In the trade secret, copyright and trademark matters he regularly attends to, Steve adds the passion and sensitivity that only the author and owner of intellectual property might contribute to this practice.
