Levitt & Quinn Family Law Center

What Levitt & Quinn Family Law Center does

Levitt & Quinn Family Law Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit legal services organization founded in 1981 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. It provides sliding-scale and pro bono family law representation to low-income individuals and families across Los Angeles County through eight specialized programs: the Adoption Project, Kid's Fund (custody and visitation), Shriver Project (representation for self-represented litigants under California's Shriver Civil Counsel Act), Veterans Project, Modest Means Project (reduced-fee services for working-poor families), Beulah Fund, Guardianship Project, and Joint Petition Project (summary dissolution). The organization is the only nonprofit family law center of its kind in Los Angeles County and was featured on 60 Minutes.

The center delivers services through a staff of 11–50 attorneys and support personnel using traditional direct-representation and brief-service clinic models, supplemented by court-based self-help support. Service delivery is built around attorney expertise in California family law procedure — including adoption, custody, guardianship, divorce, and summary dissolution — rather than around proprietary technology platforms; no AI, document-automation, or consumer-facing software product is disclosed. Outreach and intake are driven by referral relationships with the Los Angeles Superior Court system, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and a network of community-based legal and social-service partners.

Revenue mechanics combine three streams: client fees collected on a sliding scale tied to household income, individual and institutional donations/grants, and government funding under the Shriver Civil Counsel Act for designated pilot representation of self-represented litigants. The organization publicly states that it provides nearly $2 million in services annually, which approximates annual operating scale. The business model is mission-driven rather than return-driven: any surplus is reinvested into program expansion rather than distributed, and growth is measured by case throughput and sub-domain coverage rather than margin or revenue growth.
