The divorce process can quickly become expensive, not to mention extremely emotional and stressful for both parties involved. Divorce clients have enough to worry about without high lawyer fees. That’s why NextChapter is excited to talk about our latest legal tech startup to watch: Hello Divorce.
Created by a family law attorney, Hello Divorce is a kind of DIY resource for people looking for a simpler and less expensive process. Here’s more info about what makes this startup great.
About the founder
Hello Divorce was founded by Erin Levine, a family law attorney who has worked for 15 years within the legal system, heading up the Levine Family Law Group. She said she became “disillusioned with the system that routes every divorce through court, pitting spouse against spouse.” She wanted to find a better way forward so that couples don’t have to hate each other even more during the legal process.
But at the same time, Erin also understood that divorce clients really do need a guide to get them through the complex legal system. She was committed to finding a way for people to find the right balance of expertise and affordability, of legal help and low-stress convenience. She believes that divorces can be fair and amicable.
