As an associate, she was involved in all aspects of the practice and had the advantage of working directly with Mr. Litz, a pillar in the Southern California family law community. Prior to that, she practiced law as a defense attorney at the law firm of Ford, Walker, Haggerty and Behar (2005-2007) where she handled cases from the pre-litigation stages through trial, arbitration, and mediation and learned how insurance companies evaluate and analyze cases for settlement or trial.
Alexandra Lavinsky’s strong litigation background, knowledge, and understanding of the law enables her to successfully handle all family law situations from high asset property division to complex child custody matters. She has both the experience and competency to tell you where you stand and the likely outcome of your legal dispute.

She prides herself on the quality of her work and the personal service she provides to each and every client. She empowers her clients through knowledge so that they too understand the legal process in which they are or may become involved. Through this understanding, the client can have meaningful input in determining the best course of action for her/his particular case.
