Our Story
Erin and Ashley met in law school during a night class in the basement of the library where they connected over a love of the human experience, a tenderness for “realness,” and the desire to find authenticity and integrity in law. They bonded over Mission-style burritos and heartache, which has culminated in a gripping, deep-seated friendship that has grown over almost 20 years.
After practicing individually in family law, they came together under the Levine Family Law Group and have helped countless couples transition out of marriage or relationship in the last 15 years. Erin and Ashley are both Certified Family Law Specialists — which means they have passed peer review, experience requirements and a specialized exam in family law. Both have been repeatedly selected as Super Lawyers. Using their knowledge and experience in the divorce process, Erin and Ashley have created Love & Real Life to help women avoid those uncertainties and unknowns.
Love & Real Life revolutionizes the concept of and the conversation around relationship agreements — so that women can stand firmly in their strength and be empowered to live their very best life.
