Martin Levinson
Martin Levinson is a member of a well known North East legal family as his father and three uncles all practised as Solicitors in Hartlepool and Middlesbrough and were well respected. He is proud of his heritage and has been a qualified Solicitor since 1975 and a partner with tbi since 1991. He now specialises in Commercial Property transactions and is known for his friendly and approachable style. When he is not hard at work looking after his clients, he will be found either pottering in his garden or striding across the hills and valleys of North East England, sometimes knowing where he is going, but more often than not being hopelessly lost. He is also a keen supporter of Hartlepool United, having been born and bred in West Hartlepool, although now living with his wife in Newcastle.
