Kari Erickson Levine founded Erickson Levine Law in 2015 with a passion for finding creative solutions to even the most complex and highly charged disputes. She has handled 80+ matters and is an empaneled mediator for the Northern District of California. After graduating from UC Law San Franscisco in 1989, Kari worked as an assistant DA in Compton, CA. Transitioning into civil litigation, Kari worked as a partner for over two decades with two of the most prestigious firms in the country—Seyfarth Shaw and Jones Day— where she represented a vast range of clients in class action and single plaintiff disputes.
Based upon her work with individuals of diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, Kari has acquired a unique ability to understand all parties and to help them articulate their needs in ways that the opposing side will hear. Kari focuses on the resolution of business, employment, Title III ADA access, and Fair Housing Act discrimination disputes. Kari works tenaciously and empathetically to keep the parties communicating collaboratively.
