Louis Levinson has focused his practice on residential and commercial real estate transactions.  He has also been engaged in the general practice of law including business transactions, residential and commercial leases, probate, wills, and trusts.  His objective is to ensure that his clients receive personal representation of the highest quality and integrity.. While representing and advising his clients throughout a real estate purchase or sale, Louis does not lose sight of his client's primary goal—closing the transaction.  To that end, Louis stays in constant communication with his client, his client's real estate broker, mortgage lender, and the attorney for the other party to the transaction to make sure every detail is addressed and agreement is reached between the parties in a timely fashion.. Louis is highly regarded in the real estate community.  As a result, many of his clients are referred from the top producing real estate agents in the Chicagoland area.  For the past 34 years Louis has built his successful practice on the repeat business and referrals from his satisfied clients, their families, friends, and co-workers.

Lou began his practice of law in New York in 1984 prior to moving to Chicago, where he became an equity partner at Gould & Ratner in 1992. He also held the same position at Neal, Gerber, & Eisenberg and Much Shelist, prior to forming Bernstein Law Firm in 2009. During those formative years, Lou garnered experience representing clients throughout the United States, in complex civil litigation matters before trial courts, arbitration panels, mediators, and numerous state and federal appellate courts, including the United States Supreme Court. Lou also served as chairman of the litigation department and governing bodies of several of those firms. However, large firm politics and adherence to the bottom line took its toll. As Lou liked to joke, “I could not wait to get out of the office and into court for some peace and quiet.” Lou then decided to build upon his experience and open his own law firm to better represent his clients and provide a work environment more conducive to relationship building and fostering collegiality among the attorneys and staff of the firm.. Over the years Lou has primarily focused his area of expertise on complex civil litigation matters. The breadth of these representations has run from a multitude of real estate developers in the Chicagoland area, the Crown family, class action defense for Bumble Bee Foods and JPMorgan Chase, franchise litigation on behalf of Pepperidge Farm and in the fashion industry, most prominently, Tom Ford, AG Jeans and Carine Roitfeld.
