Professional and Personable

Mr. Levin represented me for approximately one year in a family law case. He is extremely knowledgeable and honest, always giving good advice. He is also available. I was not ever left wondering when he would get back to me. And I felt like he cared just as much about my case as I did. He was recomme...nded through the California Bar Association.

Top professional family attorney

I could not ask for a better lawyer and a good person by my side for my divorce. When reviewing a family law attorney I would like to point out what you should EXPECT from an attorney in your divorce. If this is your first divorce and you are reading this, then I am sorry that it has come to this. ... No matter how bad you feel the other person is, there is nothing to celebrate a broken marriage. If you are pissed off, if you are mad as hell and you want to go to battle with your spouse, then you might want to consider that it will be EXPENSIVE. Try and work out as much as you can before going to an attorney. But when you are ready to begin this process, Jon Levin is the right person for the job. A lot of people have a misconception of what a good family law attorney does and you should realize what this means: A good Family Law Attorney does not TELL you what to do. He gives you the options and YOU have to decide. Our military generals do not TELL the President what to do, they give him options. By that same analogy, GOOD generals do not want to go to war. They will take you there if need be, but they would prefer a peaceful solution. In my case, I became so frustrated with negotiating with my wife that I just threw up my hands and said, "Forget it. Lets just go to court and let the judge sort it out". Jon was there to advise me what was involved with that. Trust me, it did not look pretty. So I went back to the drawing board and kept trying to negotiate a deal with my wife. Eventually, we got this done. So why the long-winded advice? Because Jon was there with me throughout this entire process. I dont ever recall leaving him a voicemail..he answered every one of my calls. My emails were promptly returned and every single one of my questions were answered. He has a genuine concern for your case and is very thorough in getting all the details right. Getting a divorce sucks. I hope I never do this again. But getting it done right is a TEAM EFFORT and Jon is the MVP on YOUR side. Good luck.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Jonathan Levin was efficient and understanding. He enabled me to get everything I needed out of my divorce settlement in the most painless, stress free way and did not hit me up with additional fees along the way. I would recommend him to anyone going through this unfortunate process.

"Jon's advise and counsel on matrimonial and divorce issues and our discussions in general about issues involving the representation of clients has been very helpful. I do not practice in those areas but issues of that nature occasionally come into play in the matters I do handle and his counsel has enabled me to advise clients and others in turn and assist in decision making in my practice. Jon is among the most knowledgeable attorneys I know in the field."
