About Erin A.
Erin A. Levine is a California attorney who holds certification as a Family Law Specialist from the State Bar of California. Her credential signals an established concentration in family law matters and a sustained involvement in cases that cross both contested litigation and negotiated resolution. She talks about delicate family issues in plain terms. Her work often sits at the intersection of law and everyday life.
Levine completed the training required to practice law and then turned her attention to family law. She pursued additional study and practical experience that led to her certification as a family law specialist. That credential is awarded by the State Bar after candidates meet testing and experience requirements, and it underscores a lawyer’s specialized practice in family law rather than general practice.
Early in her career she handled a range of domestic relations matters. She has represented clients in divorce proceedings and contested custody hearings. She has also handled financial issues that arise in family law, such as spousal and child support and community property division. Her file work has included drafting pleadings, preparing discovery, and presenting evidence in hearings.
Levine’s practice includes both courtroom work and negotiated settlements. She prepares cases for trial when needed. She also engages in settlement discussions, mediation, and other alternative dispute resolution methods where those paths better serve clients. In contested matters she has developed strategies to advance clients’ positions while following procedural rules and evidentiary standards.
Outside of hearings and negotiations, Levine often manages the practical elements of family law cases. She works through disclosure and valuation of assets, addresses temporary orders, and coordinates with forensic accountants and child specialists when cases require those resources. She also assists clients in modifying existing orders when circumstances change.
As a Certified Family Law Specialist, Levine maintains ongoing involvement in family law issues in California. Her practice emphasizes the routine tasks and the high-stakes moments that family law generates. She now concentrates her practice on family law matters in California, handling both litigated and settlement-oriented cases.
