Monica J. Levavi
Monica became an attorney in 2010. However, for the seven years prior to attending law school, Monica worked as a legal assistant in her mother's, Nancy's, solo family law practice. It was during that time that Monica realized her ability to assist the law practice's clients would be greatly enhanced if she became an attorney, as well.
After almost 15 years of practicing Family Law exclusively, Monica is excited to shift focus to Trusts & Estates, specifically Estate Planning, Probate and Trust Administration.
When not in the office, Monica spends her free time walking on Ocean Beach with her dog, and enjoying the sights, sounds and restaurants of her beloved hometown of San Francisco.
