Joshua S. Levy

Joshua S. Levy is an American attorney who previously served as the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts from November 25, 2024 to January 17, 2025.

Levy was sworn-in as First Assistant U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts by U.S. District Court Chief Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV on January 11, 2022, after having been appointed to serve by then newly-confirmed U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, Rachael S. Rollins. On May 19, 2023, Rollins abruptly resigned; in accordance with the Vacancies Act, Levy immediately assumed the role of Acting U.S. Attorney. Levy was twice nominated by President Biden for the permanent role of U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, but neither nomination passed confirmation by the Senate; Levy was eventually officially appointed by Attorney General Garland in the final week of November 2024, but he ultimately resigned shortly after, on January 17, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, Levy has returned to Ropes & Gray LLP as a partner in its litigation and enforcement practice group.
