This week we chat with Erin Levine. Erin Levine is a California-based attorney specializing in Family Law since 2005. Erin was an undergraduate student at the University of California in Santa Barbara and attended law school at the University of San Francisco. After owning and managing the Levine Family Law Group in Oakland, CA for over a decade, Erin became disillusioned with the broken, inefficient and expensive system and set out to change it. In 2018, she founded the online platform Hello Divorce. Hello Divorce was created to help people navigate the divorce process on their terms, quickly and affordably with less stress. Its services are currently available in California, Utah, Colorado, and Texas with plans for immediate expansion into additional states in 2021. As Founder and CEO of Hello Divorce, Erin’s goal is to provide everyone who wants a divorce access to easy, affordable, and ethical legal assistance.

Her passion and approach to family law has been guided by her own experience with the legal system. As a child, Erin was the victim of violence and as a teen, she was the plaintiff in a civil action and a witness in a criminal action. It was stressful, intimidating, and confusing and Erin was determined to not let anyone else feel that way. Her goal is to leave clients ready to embark on a fresh start and feeling empowered.

Erin has been recognized by James I. Keane Memorial Award for Excellence in eLawyering, Women Founders Network, American Bar Association “Women in LegalTech”, and the Duke Law & Tech Accelerator’s Grand Prize Winner to name a few. And featured in publications such as; Vice, TechCrunch, Entertainment Tonight, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Women’s Health.
