Ira J. Levine is the founding member of
The Levine Law Firm, LLC. Ira was born
in Bayonne, New Jersey. He resided there
until he married and first moved to Fair
Lawn in 1965. After attending Rutgers
College, he graduated from Fairleigh
Dickinson University in 1964 with a B.S.
Degree in Accounting. Ira practiced as a
Public Accountant for a small C.P.A.
firm in Newark and later in the tax
department of a mid-sized firm in New
York City. While working as an
accountant, he attended Seton
Hall University Law School and
received his Juris Doctorate Degree in
1969. That same year he passed the bar
exam and was first admitted to practice
in New Jersey. After practicing law for
several years as an Associate of a
Passaic firm, he opened his own law
practice and has been engaged in that
practice since that time. In 1988, he
moved his office to the current location
in Fair Lawn.
Ira has been active in municipal affairs
in Fair Lawn for many years.
In 1976, Ira was appointed as the first
chairman of the Fair Lawn Municipal
Ethics Committee. The responsibility of
this committee was to review information
provided by all of Fair Lawn's appointed
and elected officials for conflicts of
interest. One year later, he became the
legal assistant to the borough attorney.
He first
served on the Board of Directors of the
Mental Health Center in 1977, and served
as Treasurer of the Board during this
time. He completed another term from
1989 to 1995."The Center has grown
tremendously over the years", he says
"and expanded its budget and programs to
respond to the needs of the
times and the community."
In 1978, Ira was appointed as Borough
Prosecutor, and had served in that
capacity until 1998. His duties in that
connection included representing the
Borough and the state before the Fair
Lawn Municipal Court.
From 1980 until 1987, in addition to his
practice and duties as Borough
Prosecutor, Ira served as adjunct
professor and lecturer in Business Law
at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Ira has been active in the Fair Lawn
Lions Club serving in several offices.
He was the President of this
organization which has been a very
active and strong financial supporter of
both the Fair Lawn Mental Health Center
and the Fair Lawn Opportunity Center
among its other charitable endeavors. |
