The Harold I. Levine Archive

During the 1980s and 1990s, noted Chicago real estate attorney Harold I. Levine had a regular column in ATG's monthly newsletter, The Illinois Fund Concept. His style was one-of-a-kind and his topics were based on his experiences. He focused on giving the practicing real estate bar practical suggestions on avoiding attorney malpractice.

We are forever grateful for our long association with Harold, whose contribution to the profession were many, and hope that you find the articles helpful.
