Kelley Kronenberg, a national, full-service law firm, is expanding its reach into the Florida market with the addition of a Bankruptcy Practice Group. The new group, which joined the firm’s Tampa office in April, is the result of Kelley Kronenberg acquiring Dennis LeVine & Associates, a bankruptcy law firm in Tampa, and its team of attorneys and administrative staff.
Kelley Kronenberg’s new Bankruptcy Practice Group includes Partner Dennis J. LeVine, Partner David E. Hicks and Partner Alison V. Walters. Mr. LeVine and his team bring extensive experience to the firm and focus on matters involving Bankruptcy, Replevin and Collection, as well as Creditors’ Rights for major national lenders and finance companies in all Florida Courts. Mr. LeVine is one of only seven attorneys in Florida who is board certified in both Consumer Bankruptcy Law and Business Bankruptcy Law by the American Board of Certification (ABC).
“We look forward to being a part of the Kelley Kronenberg team,” Mr. LeVine said. “Our bankruptcy and collection offerings will serve as a nice complement to the firm’s Mortgage Foreclosure and Real Property Litigation practices.”
Kelley Kronenberg’s growth strategy has been steady and methodical over the past five years. In March, the firm expanded into the Miami market by opening a new office in Brickell and adding a litigation group consisting of six attorneys. The firm plans to continue its growth by expanding its services and legal footprint.
