Earlier this year the firm added patent litigators Mark C. Howland, Samuel E. Joyner and Chijioke Offor to complement its existing copyright/trademark licensing, protection, and management work. The IP attorneys in the firm’s Dallas and Longview, Texas, offices also advise clients on data privacy and cybersecurity matters.

Mr. Levine is a 1988 graduate of The University of Texas School of Law and earned his undergraduate degree, with honors, from The University of Texas in 1985.
