Jonathan R. Levine of Levine & Smith LLC has emerged in recent years as one of the most accomplished young matrimonial attorneys in Greater Atlanta.At 47, just entering his professional prime, he is poised to lead the field for years to come.Precise and focused, hard-working and well liked by peers, Levine is in many respects the best example of divorce law's next generation - technology-savvy, excellent business instincts and well versed in the onslaught of social changes he and his peers now see every day."I always knew I'd become a lawyer," says the born-and-bred Atlantan (Pace Academy '77; his children attend today).That Levine and his two younger brothers all became attorneys is remarkable; their father, renowned bankruptcy lawyer Morton P. Levine, is still well known and widely respected in the legal community.
