Jeffrey Brend, Ptr and Co-Founder of Levin & Brend, P.C. is not only a well known divorce and tax lawyer, but also a CPA, whose unique speciality of Forensic Accounting makes him one of the most sought after, “Go-To” Divorce attorneys in the United States today.

When you are facing a divorce, the need for a skilled family law attorney is a given. But often, economic and tax issues surrounding dissolution of a marriage also demand financial expertise. Dividing property not only has a tax impact, but the settlement you make will affect you for years to come. If children are involved, both settlement and issues of child custody, child support and visitation add to the realm of knowledge your attorney must have to achieve the best possible results to secure your future.

Among a select few Chicago lawyers with expertise in business valuation and forensic accounting, Jeff Brend offers a broad spectrum of legal and financial services related to matrimonial law.
Their law firm handles cases associated with all aspects of family law –adoption, paternity, divorce, spousal support, alimony, child support, child custody and visitation. When complicated custody and visitation issues arise in a contested divorce, the court regularly appoints our attorneys as the child’s representative.

With more than 80 years of combined experience, Jeff’s attorneys and professional staff blend skills in matrimonial law, business valuations, forensic accounting and tax law. Their attorneys, who are also accountants, are prepared to address both the legalities of dissolving a marriage and the economic ramifications a couple faces, when their finances are complex.

Steve is also a Bestselling Novelist who has written 32 novels in 7 separate series:

Among them are: “The Johnnie Walker Series”; “Karma Justice”; “Heaven’s Most Wanted”; “The Tommy Schmid” Series

Steve is not your typical writer. He might be your most atypical writer right up there with Hemmingway and Louis L’Amour, because like them, he struck out on high adventure, at the early age of 17, traveling throughout South America to Mexico City, Panama, Bogota, Columbia, to Peru, across the Andes to Cusco, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, Copacabana, to La Paz, Bolivia and to Santiago, Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Brasilia, Sao Paulo, and then he enlisted in the US Army, volunteered for the Infantry, and for Vietnam, where he served with the 1st Infantry Division, and as a MAT, Mobile Advisory Team Advisor.

After discharge from combat duty with the 1st Infantry Division in the U.S. Army in Vietnam, Steve spent the next five years working covertly as a “Civilian contractor” to the CIA’s Phoenix Program’s Counterinsurgency and Counter-terrorism project, and coordinated the largest Black-Market Operation ever sanctioned by the Company.

That experience led him to write a fictionalized account in his bestselling book, “American Gangster – Beaucoup Dinky Dau”, which draws on the experiences and accounts of those men, led by a former SSG/MAT Team Advisor, John D. Walker, known in Saigon as Johnnie Walker or the “The Fixer”, and those who directed the covert operations from the senior corridors of Washington DC and the CIA.

Steve gained highly unusual access to the records and the individuals who ran this top secret covert organization, “Operation Beaucoup Dinky Dau”, which supplied the U.S.-led indigenous teams (Montagnards, Chinese Nungs, and Meo tribesmen) fighting the North Vietnamese Army.)

“The Operation” directed flights of the CIA’s Air America program that flew civilians, diplomats, spies, refugees, commandos, sabotage teams, doctors, war casualties, DEA officers, and visiting VIPs. They coordinated many of the “Food Drops” (known as “Rice Drops”) and the “Hard Drops” (Ammo and weapons drops) to the Meo and Hmong tribesmen fighting against Communist Pathet Lao, as well as to the Phoenix Program’s operations to destroy the infrastructure, and the political organization of the Viet Cong and the NVA. They also directed the airlift of a humanitarian mission to build US hospitals and provide development aid of $450 million to prop up as a façade to covert operations.

Steve is also the producer and Co-host of the award-winning, nationally syndicated APM radio show, ‘The LawBusiness Insider’ https://lbishow.com/
