An attorney who served in the Clinton administration was found dead Thursday in an apparent suicide at his Washington law office.
Kilpatrick Stockton, an Atlanta firm, confirmed in a statement that attorney Mark Levy had died.
"Mark Levy was well known and highly respected for his successful appearances before the Supreme Court of the United States," said Bill Dorris, the firm's co-managing partner.
Levy was a deputy assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice between 1993 and 1995 and served five years in the Solicitor General's office.
D.C. Police spokeswoman Helen Andrews said officers were called to an office building where the firm is located to investigate a shooting Thursday morning. She said investigators believe it was a suicide.
Levy attended Yale University's law school with former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and more recently worked on fundraising for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, said Dennis Gingold, an attorney who was working with Levy on a case.
"I don't know anyone who isn't shocked by what just happened," Gingold said. "He was a good guy. He really was professional, first class."
During his career, Levy had argued 16 cases before the Supreme Court. At Kilpatrick Stockton, he served as counsel and chair of the firm's Supreme Court and appellate advocacy practice. Levy, who was married and has two children, lived in Bethesda, Md.
The firm had announced this week that 24 lawyers would be laid off, but it wasn't immediately clear whether Levy had been affected by staff cuts.
The death comes after the chief financial officer of mortgage giant Freddie Mac killed himself last week. David Kellermann was found dead April 22 in the basement of his northern Virginia home. Colleagues had noticed he was under stress and had suggested he take time off.

Maybe he was a self-hating jew that felt remorse about betraying Israel.
JS93—why off yourself at 59? He had a long and lucrative career, and made money hand over fist, both on and off the books.
Maybe he lost it all in the market crashes. Maybe he made overtures to the Clintons about needing money or he would have to spill a few beans.
Then Clinton, Inc. got rid of another possible threat.
Who knows?
All we DO know, is that with the Clintons, the surface story is NEVER the real story.
clintons, the gift that keeps on giving...
And a lot of Clinton ‘bodyguards.’
I can think of a couple people, not to mention the majority of FReepers.
Freeper Nachum has been very active keeping track of O’s downfalls...maybe nachum’s work could be added to the front page of FR.

Thanks for the heads up!
I get to breath another day...don’t know ‘em and don’t want to.
What is not clear in this one is if it can be tied to Obama. It smells like it. We do already have one "suicide" during this administration.
Look up “It’s About Me”. RIP.
One blessing...the loved ones were not killed just before “the last goodbye”.
well put...
after finding the list, I realised I made an error. I was thinking service agents, but the truth was it was the body guard count. My apologies...
Thanks for the link. I hope you’ve kept a copy of that thread! I had links to numerous older threads, that were later deleted...
As I watched the Obama Show I paid particular attention to the observing, but not chosen members of the “willing” press. They were very docile, with slight expression changes during obvious gaffes and verbal obfuscation by “The One”. After Zeros performance, I noticed the invited members whispering like scolded children. Notice that few ever write or say anything negative.
The press cowers as Rome Burns.
Time for another Tea Party!
ah, if you haven’t checked her website, this particular topic is just one facet of her work.
Check it out.. The topics related to clinton are categorized.
BINGO! I hope his children and wife find their GOD. Mark had other plans.
Thanks. She has a great site.
Weak-ass slime Socialist/Marxist politicians and their enablers. Good riddance. George Washington would have kicked his sorry ass into the Potomac.
Sorry God. Please forgive me....
I think yours is actually part 2, and would love to see Jim Rob add it to the Front Page of FR! :) It could be right next to alamo-girls link. Historical events related to Obama..and you have been diligent.
