Meet Erin Levine

After 15+ years inside California family courtrooms, Erin founded Hello Divorce to fix what she'd watched the system do to good people for nearly two decades.

Experience. Erin practiced California family law for 15+ years before founding Hello Divorce, including representation in contested divorces, custody disputes, and high-asset cases. She is recognized as a Certified Family Law Specialist by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization — a credential held by fewer than 2% of California attorneys. Before Hello Divorce, she founded and ran Levine Family Law Group, a boutique California family law practice.

Recognition. Erin's access-to-justice work has been recognized by the American Bar Association, Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies 2024, NPR's How I Built This, Forbes, TechCrunch, Reuters, and the Women Founders Network.

"After 15 years inside California family courtrooms, I watched the same broken pattern too many times: good people destroying their savings and their co-parenting relationships over a process that didn't need to be a fight. Hello Divorce is my answer — a kinder, easier, more affordable pathway."
