Elder Law and Estate Planning

Dawn excels at getting our clients qualified for Medicaid and Veterans Benefits.  She joined the office in 2009 after working in fundraising at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  Dawn and her husband stay busy running after their two sons and trying to make them do their homework without much complaint.  In her spare time, Dawn loves running, hiking, and reading.  Her claim to fame at the office is being (by far!) the most organized employee.  We are all jealous of her spotless desk and spreadsheets.

Tonya came on staff back in 2006, after many years at the Delaware Medicaid office.  Since that time, she has processed hundreds of Medicaid applications for our clients, with amazing results.  Tonya and her husband spend most of their time wrangling their three nephews.  A native Delawarean, Tonya enjoys spending time with her large extended family and trying out new recipes.  Nothing makes her happier than cooking up a Thanksgiving feast while gabbing about old Lifetime movies.

Technically, Julia’s start date was 2009, but she has actually been working for the office in some capacity since she was in middle school.  Julia is the middle Levinson daughter (Karla’s younger sister) and our talented office manager.  An engineer by trade, Julia paused her career at Gore to come back to the family business and keep us in line.  By day, she handles billing and human resources and by night, she and her husband are super-parents to their son and daughter.  Julia is mom extraordinaire and can answer questions about car seats and soccer schedules in her sleep!

Kate is the Jill-of-all-trades at the office.  She handles our marketing and outreach, and speaks at length with each prospective client to determine the best fit for services.  Kate worked in event planning at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (with Dawn!) prior to starting with the Levinsons in 2010.  Between caring for their son and daughter and trying to DIY their new house, Kate and her husband don’t get much sleep.  But that doesn’t stop Kate from trying to perfect her brownie recipe (she swears chocolate chips are the key).

It’s hard to believe Candy only started with us in February of 2017 because it feels like she’s been a member of the team forever. Candy is our trusted Client Relationship Manager, handling all of our new client intake and keeping our community events moving forward. Candy started her career as a paralegal and returned to the field after her most important work – raising three children! Now that her daughters are in college and her son is in high school, she actually gets a bit of spare time, to play tennis, spend time with her husband at the beach in Ocean City, Maryland, and wrangle her kids’ pets.

Alyvia is a recent University of Delaware graduate who came to work at our office in August of 2018.  In addition to handling the front desk duties at the firm, she is helping to decorate the renovated office, and putting a fresh creative spin on our space!  Alyvia volunteers for a number of organizations close to her heart and would spend every spare moment at the beach if she could.  She is super active and loves reading and going to the gym.  The rest of us are envious of Alyvia’s energy and love her positive attitude!
