Hi, I'm Ken

I am Ken Levine from Boston, Massachusetts.  I am a retired trial lawyer with more than 42 years’ experience representing clients in medical malpractice, birth trauma, brain damaged infant, and brachial plexus/erbs palsy, civil rights, voting rights and complex tort litigation. 

I am a screenwriter and consultant for films, movies, and television. Most recently I acted as a legal consultant and screenwriter with acclaimed writer Kata Weber, Cannes Film Festival award winning Director Kornél Mundruczó and Academy Award winning Director/Producer Martin Scorsese on the film Pieces of a Woman. I worked directly with writers, directors, and producers on the set to assist the director and actors in the filming of courtroom and legal scenes. I was present on the movie set for the filming of the courtroom scenes working with Academy Award nominated actress Vanessa Kirby, Academy Award winner Ellen Burstyn and Emmy Award winner Molly Parker as well as the other actors. 

I continue my work as a legal consultant and screenwriter for films, movies and television with several new projects underway.  I rely on my years as a nationally known trial lawyer to advise studios, writers, directors and producers about courtroom scenes, dialogue, subject matter, and trial procedure. I also work as a screenwriter for films, movies and television writing dialogue for courtroom and legal scenes.

Here, on this site, you will find a collection of my short stories, manuscripts, and other literary works that capture certain memorable moments in my 40 year career as a trial lawyer.

Trial Stories

Forty-one years of representing children and families in complex birth injury medical malpractice cases adds up. Forty-one years and hundreds, thousands of videos, and pictures to match with the names of these precious kids. It was no fault of their own that they were born with physical and emotional damage, that was the fault of the doctor or midwife, and yet the children and their families live with the result for the rest of their life. That’s why it is so important to know each child and their family so well and to treat them with dignity and respect.

Here are a few of their stories.
