Four months after pleading guilty to tax charges, former Herrick Feinstein partner Harold Levine in New York was sentenced Wednesday to 24 months in federal prison for his role in a scheme to defraud the IRS.

U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff of the Southern District of New York in Manhattan handed down the sentence against Levine, who was indicted a year ago this month on wire fraud and tax evasion charges. Levine is being represented by Gerald Lefcourt and Sheryl Reich at Lefcourt’s criminal defense firm in New York. Lefcourt did not return a request for comment on the sentence against his client.
