June 9, 2022

Upon graduation, every Southwestern Law School student becomes a member of the Southwestern Law School Alumni Association. The Alumni Association’s mission is to support students during and after their time at Southwestern Law School by providing mentoring programs, legal training, and networking opportunities. The Alumni Association Board of Directors is made up of Southwestern graduates who are attorneys and judges with expertise in virtually every area of law, including criminal, civil, family, entertainment, probate, immigration, and appellate. The Alumni Association’s diverse Board of Directors is made up of men and women from communities throughout the region. The Board of Directors maintains connections with Southwestern Law School alumni everywhere, from down the street to across the globe!

In 2015, the Southwestern Law School Alumni Association created the Domestic Violence Advocacy Initiative (DVAI). Each year, DVAI fellowships are awarded to recent Southwestern graduates who, in partnership with the Levitt and Quinn Family Law Center, provide high-quality legal services to the victims and survivors of domestic violence. Since its creation, the DVAI has provided legal assistance and representation to hundreds of domestic violence survivors who otherwise would have had none. Through the DVAI and its many other programs, the Southwestern Law School Alumni Association is honored to support both Southwestern alumni and the community at large.

The Southwestern Law School Alumni Association invites all Southwestern Law School alumni to get involved! Visit swlaw.edu/alumni to learn more about the Alumni Association and how you can host an event, join a committee, or mentor a current Southwestern Law School student.

Erin is a former 18 year State Bar prosecutor now focusing on ethics consultations for small and mid-sized firms and State Bar defense.

They delivered Without going into details, I really needed an attorney well versed in a specific area of practice. Attorney Alan Gordon was heaven sent. He kept me updated and clearly explained every step of the way what to expect. I always felt well informed and my calls or emails were addressed within the hour. I would definitely recommend their services to any one I know needed their specific niche of practice.

Outstanding Moral Character Representation and Support I cannot recommend this law firm highly enough for anyone dealing with professional licensing issues in California. I was in a difficult position when my previous attorney could no longer continue with my case, and I was fortunate to find Erin Joyce and Robin Brune.

Erin and Robin stepped in seamlessly and immediately made me feel supported and informed. I worked closely with Robin and she provided prompt, thoughtful, and detailed feedback on every part of my application and took the time to explain each step of the moral character determination process. Her guidance was clear, strategic, and always tailored to my situation. She also made helpful recommendations that ultimately strengthened my application.

Thanks to Robin’s expertise and dedication, I was successful in passing the moral character determination. I truly believe I would not have achieved this outcome without her support. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend working with Robin.
