Marilyn Brenner Levine

Attorney Marilyn Levine was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 2001. Marilyn attended Ohio State University where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a Master’s degree in Labor and Human Resources. Marilyn received her law degree from the University of Toledo College of Law, where she graduated summa cum laude. 

Marilyn is a past President Board of Directors for Leading Families Home and Beach House Family Shelter. She is a member of the Toledo Bar Association, the Ohio Association for Justice, and the Ohio Bar Association, and is on the Advisory Board of the University of Toledo Paralegal Studies Program.

Marilyn began her career at Gallon, Takacs & Boissoneault Co., L.P.A. in 1984 as a paralegal, returning to law school in 1997. She continued working as a full-time paralegal while attending law school. In 2019, she joined the team at Schaffer & Associates as one of their top workers’ compensation attorneys. Marilyn’s passion for representing injured workers and working for their fair treatment makes her a fearless advocate for those in need. Marilyn has this to say about her life and work:

“I grew up in the Rust Belt in Youngstown, Ohio in the 60s and 70s.  I witnessed people who had given their whole lives working for the steel industry lose everything due to corporate greed and politics. I have always been committed to the labor movement – protecting the rights of working men and women. I see the ‘profit before people’ mentality play out in my practice as workers are injured and abandoned by their employers that they believed would protect them only to find that their jobs are replaced when they can no longer do the job because of injury. I get enormous pleasure from helping those who are injured in the course of their work get the benefits they justly deserve.”
