His advice as to discovery matters and strategy alone have often led to out-of-court agreements (civil and criminal) that were quite satisfactory to his clients.

Design Of Cross-Examination / Deposition Q&As
Mr. Levine's now 40 years of intensive hands-on experience on the streets and in the courtrooms (criminal and civil), his training and experience as a supervisory officer, inspector of operations, police instructor and his insider's anatomical knowledge of law enforcement operations, combine with devastating effect in the design of his cross-examination "menus" aimed at law enforcement officers and supervisors. During the past fifteen years of his trial consulting career, cross-examination planning by Mr. Levine has had profoundly dramatic and satisfactory courtroom results for his clients.

Security Consulting
Why retain a large company whose operatives are unknown commodities with unknown records? No matter what your security needs, it is far more economical and effective to retain one of America's most demonstrably effective international law enforcement and covert operatives, with a wide net of national and international operatives each with his/her own proven record of accomplishment.
