I've had many consultations with different lawyers over the past couple of days, and Lavinsky was by far the best. She is honest, intelligent, thorough, and kind. She didn't rush us off the phone, took the time to answer all our questions, and provided great insight into our situation. We truly appreciate the opportunity to speak with her today. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer. read more

I went in for a consultation and I got more information in that meeting than with the three previous attorneys I have hired. This lady knows her business and has good business ethics. Unfortunately she could not take my case, too busy. I would highly recommend having her on your team. She will be a big asset. Her paralegal seems very competent and personable. I can't speak to costs, but I think with this law firm, you will get value for your money. read more

I want to take the time to commend Zoe. She is an amazing attorney and truly cares about the clients. If you are looking for a great attorney who cares about her clients then Lavinsky Law is the firm to trust. read more

I didn't know what to expect meeting Alexandra. I had just had a subpar experience with a previous attorney and was left a little weary. I ended up being very impressed with Alexandra's demeanor, knowledge, and attitude. read more

I am sincerely grateful for having Alexandra Lavinsky as my attorney. She has been my attorney for more than seven years, and I don't know where I would have been without her. She is thorough, concise, and her team is outstanding. I would never walk into court without her with representation. There are not enough words for me to explain how amazing she is And how many times she has come to my rescue. Both my boys and I are indebted to her for all she has done. if you are looking for an attorney stop right here. She is a godsend. read more

Im not one to leave reviews but words can't describe how incredibly professional, attentive to detail, and caring Alexandra is. She truly cares for each client & the details of their case. I posted a desperate plea for a family attorney in the Los Angeles area on Facebook, and many friends recommended Alexandra and her team. She initially met me to hear my story, and immediately got to work and called Child Support to get status on my case. She was quick to direct me in the best approach, aiding me in how we responded to the Judge and the Child Support legal Department. I felt that my voice was finally heard, and most importantly followed by action. Alexandra went above and beyond what is required of her. Alexandra helped me get a direct answer, what I was most concerned about. I was so impressed that we have and will continue to recommend her to anyone who needs a great attorney. We can never fully express our gratitude for Alexandra's hard work, genuine care, and successful approach to every case. To Alexandra and Staff, my wife and 5 children thank you from the bottom of our hearts! L. Amen read more

Alexandra helped me with a particularly stubborn family law property dispute. I can't say enough about her professional and skilled handling of my case. From day one, Alexandra and her staff kept me well informed and responded immediately to my questions and concerns. Lavinsky Law operated like a well-oiled machine without any of the costly and unnecessary activity I had experienced with previous attorneys. My outcomes were always as Alexandra had advised...the court always agreed. Should anything arise in the future, I will always turn back to Lavinsky Law. read more

I had a terrible experience with her. She was working for another attorney and my case was dumped in her lap. She could care less- what a waste. She was indifferent. She uses legal jargon to talk above you-- and I'm a doctor!! She didn't have any sense of interest or compassion despite the thousands I paid. She was unfamiliar with the material when she represented me at a hearing. Her discussion with me in preparation consisted of a few sentences outside the courtroom door. Her personality is instantly off-putting. Good luck with this person- you'll need it! read more

Alexandra Lavinsky is a remarkable, knowledgeable, and skilled attorney. Beyond that, she is a wonderfully sincere and caring person. I was faced with seemingly daunting legal issues surrounding my ex, and Alexandra stepped in -- immediately put my mind at ease and lent calmness, clarity, and her expert guidance which ultimately led to a positive resolution. Her entire staff is responsive and helpful and always on hand to help. In the truest sense, Alexandra proved to be a lifesaver for me and my family. She is the best family law attorney out there. Highly recommended! read more

I hired Alexandra to prepare and negotiate my cohabitation agreement when my then boyfriend and I bought a house together. She was great to work with and we came up with an agreement that everyone felt good about. I hired her again to negotiate my prenuptIal agreement. Again, she was very responsive and helped to create another agreement that made all parties happy. Having Alex on my side gave me great peace of mind! read more

The team at Lavinsky Law is outstandingly thorough, professional and compassionate. The supremely capable team comes with experience and expertise which gave me assurance through a most unsettling time. I highly recommend anyone in need of family law information come in for a consultation. You will come out feeling confidant, informed and and supported. read more

I saw Alexandra today for a consultation in regards to my pending divorce. I was very anxious when I got to the office, however was so relaxed when I left. After seeing Alexandra I now see lawyers in a new light. She really wants to help you, and money is not her only motivation. She gets right to the point, and is able to quickly assess a situation. Alexandra is both kind and tough, a rare combination. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

I came in for a consultation and Alexandra took her time listening to me and answering questions I had about my impending divorce. I am trying to do mediation and so far so good but if I wasn't in a more secure situation, I'd definitely hire her! She was forthright and seemed to take the offensive view of being my advocate for getting the best deal. I'd definitely recommend you seeing her before you decide an attorney elsewhere. read more

I hired Alexandra to handle some fairly complex multi-state custody issues. She was very smart, easy to deal with and tenacious. She never over promised, always delivered. I would not hesitate to recommend her. read more

I want to thank you all so very much for everything. I know Lavinsky Law deals with countless divorces and family law cases, however I never felt like just another client. It's hard enough going through a major life event such as a divorce, even more difficult when children are involved. I felt safe and secure knowing I had you all in my corner. Alexandra, your contact info will definitely remain with me as I will pass it on to anyone who could use your services. Again, thank you all...I'm finally smiling again. Vanessa :-) read more

Emily Rubinstein saved my life. I am all alone in LA and was going through a very unpleasant divorce. Our marriage was short and we had no combined assets. The ONLY thing I cared about was sharing custody of our 2 year old son. I am an LAUSD teacher and am not wealthy by any means but was given a referral to Lavinsky Law by an acquaintance. Thank God for Emily Rubinstein. She took on my ex wife's high priced old lawyer and helped me stand my ground and get what I deserved as a father. I could not have found a better lawyer for my situation. Emily was measured and calculating in her approach. She never pressured me to do anything I was unsure of even when she was sure I could win my case in court. Emily handled the whole situation with tact and sensitivity and I will forever be indebted to her for helping me navigate the most difficult fight of my life. In the end I got everything I wanted. She was never intimidated or outdone and I only regret that I did not get to see her fight in court. Emily is amazing, was affordable, and was personable while handling my case with the expertise of a 30 year veteran. Her firm backed her all the way and for that I am also grateful. Choose Emily, you won't regret it if you need a fighter and an intellectual at your side. read more

Ms. Lavinsky is a top notch family law lawyer. I went to her after a family member of mine faced her in his custody battle and was impressed by how good she really was. My custody case was out of town and I was thinking about a change in venue to Los Angeles. Ms. Lavinsky talked to me at length on the phone. She set up an appointment to meet in person at her very nice office. Despite being late from traffic, she still gave me a full hour consultation. She honestly approached my case and let me know where I stand, which is EXACTLY what a person needs in these cases. This is a highly emotional field and it is really important to get that unbiased view of things. She advised against trying to move the case to LA (for very good reasons), even though that meant she wasn't going to be able to make any money off my case. Afterwards she contacted me with a list of lawyers that she highly recommended in my case's current city. I couldn't have been more impressed and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone that has the unfortunate necessity to need a family law lawyer. read more

Lavinsky Law won our case again! Even with opposing party using a different aggressive approach attorney, we were able to walk out of the court room happy and at peace. The best part about Lavinsky Law isn't top notch representation, its Alexandra! When it comes to the judicial system she's undeniably both brains and brawns! She suggested from the day my husband was served, he had nothing to worry about. She wasn't attempting to pacify him; she's was cutting out the guess work. The time between being served and being heard can be quite long, however, we were able to live our life at full speed, which is PRICELESS during a contested custody matter. The way I see it, you could spend months stressed out, or you can hire Alexandra and go through the process peacefully and logistically. Alexandra will answer questions timely, bill promptly and stand right by your side at your hearing. The Icing on the cake??? She has a way of making you feel like her only client, like she personally cares about your family. Quality representation is the only way to go and we hope you'll love her as much as we do! Cheers to hoping she'll stay right where she's at, for when our family need her the most. https://www.avvo.com/attorneys/90025-ca-alexandra-lavinsky-259237.html read more

Family law is a horrible, non exact area of our absurd legal system and Alexandra does an incredible job of having it all make sense. great sense of security going into the world of the unknown and that is the most valuable of all. read more

Summary: From non-custodial parent with less than standard visitation, 52 nights a year or 14% to a custodial (Joint) parent with 183 nights a year or 50%! Office: Clean/modern Parking: Structure or metered Response time: Same Day via emails Response time: Same day via phone Listening Skills:Top Notch Review: Copies of all correspondences are sent to you for final approval. Consultations: One free Cost: Average per hour pricing. No padding and they are fast too! Billing: On time,once the month is up you have your invoice. Payment: Check or card Timeframe: Oppositions complete disagreement w "equal parenting"=a year. My advice is NEVER get a divorce or establish custody without an attorney, you will pay in one way or another, in the end. Please, please don't gift wrap custody of your kids over to their mom or dad, for no good reason, as it's hard, lengthy and costly to get it back. Even if you feel like you are doing the "right thing", don't believe anyone when they say "the papers say this but I will never keep the kid from you". PLEASE bite the bullet, charge it, save it, whatever and hire Alexandra, you will not be disappointed. I had 2 other attorneys on my case prior. Alexandra quickly got up to speed, has a rapport with Los Angeles Judges, listens well and is perceptive. Mid-sentence she'll know what you're babbling on about. She knows family law inside and out, understood my desires as a father and diplomatically laid out possible options/outcomes/remedies. Alexandra's keen knowledge of family law objected the opposing side's baseless accusations and filed an Objection to strike all pages that exceeded the legal Response Declaration page limit too. On the day of the hearing Alexandra greeted me off the elevator and was right by my side; which means the world to a person about to hear their kid's future. Alexandra even got me an agreement to a "meet and greet" with the other man my son calls dad, before we even walked into the court room! During the hearing I thought things weren't going in my favor, Alexandra calmed me, whispering "You okay"? "Don't worry". The judge ultimately ordered joint legal custody and exactly equal parenting time. If you don't give up on your kid(s), hire the right representation (Alexandra) you can go from being an every other weekend Dad to having your kids equally! I walked out of the court room hugged my wife and then Alexandra unexpectedly hugged us both. We won! I will never again go through any custody matter without Alexandra by my side. If you are a Parent up against the wall and limited by your court order, do your kid(s) a favor and hire Alexandra! read more

Alexandra is an amazing lawyer. She genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. She not only provided a lot of legal advice during my messy divorce, but she helped me stay calm during that process. Thanks to her, my children were able to stay in the same home they grew up in and that is something I will always be grateful for. I truly believe she is someone who will effectively advocate for her clients' rights. read more
