Cary Levinson’s practice is concentrated on prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, divorce, family law, business law, and criminal defense. Cary firmly believes that each case is unique and requires a specific strategy to achieve the client’s goals. Born in Miami Beach, Florida and raised in Palm Beach, Florida, Cary obtained his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Florida’s Warrington College of Business, with Cum Laude honors. After his undergraduate studies, Cary gained valuable experience working at a business law firm, providing him with a proper foundation to effectively advise business clients as well as the ability to apply the same principles to family law related matters, including complex divorces and prenuptial agreements. Cary attended law school at Florida International University College of Law, where he was involved in multiple law school organizations, completed a Commercial Law independent study program, and volunteered for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Family Court Self-Help Center, assisting spouses and parents in the drafting and submission of various legal documents and forms. This experience opened Cary’s eyes to the difficulties that litigants face when they choose to enter the legal system without an attorney. Before co-founding Levinson & Capuano, Cary practiced family law, business law, and civil litigation at two small law firms in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In his focus on family law matters, Cary handled cases including father’s rights, paternity, custody, visitation and timesharing, divorces, modifications, child support actions, and other family law matters. Cary brings to the table a strong family law and business law background, both in study and in practice. With an understanding that the law does not remain constant, Cary believes that successfully practicing law is not only a matter of experience, but also a matter of staying on top of changes, adapting to new legal environments, and thinking on your feet.
