Meet the Lawyer

You probably would find it unique that Vivica, born in Los Angeles, California, 1958, began her work career in Corporate America, working -from the ground level up- as a crew member with McDonald’s.  From 1976-1991, Vivica gained strong experience in teamwork and strategic management, sales, and risk management (Eastern Airlines, Inc., Hartford Insurance). From 1981 to 1986, she worked in the insurance industry, where she was a commercial property and real estate underwriter with the Hartford. Later, she expanded her knowledge of risk management and later went on to train sales agents, while working for Metropolitan Life Insurance Companies. In 1986, she became a Certified Property and Casualty Underwriter (CPCU).

After she finished law school, she transitioned into teaching (from 1993-2004). Teachers are not appreciated or paid the way they should be, based on the product. Since 2004, Vivica has built a law practice, with a consulting and teaching component. Learn to anticipate and plan for legal pitfalls, if possible, before litigation is required, she says.

Personal Statement
Vivica says “Though I was a cheerleader in high school, and my most cherished honor is winning best cheerleader mom for my son’s first T-Ball team spirit award, I believe my purpose is to help others reach their goals.” “I also believe that my passion is to help others reach their goals, cheer others on, and provide them with valuable tools such as information to help others reach their aims.” “When it’s time to talk about myself all I can say is I’m what God has made me to be…I’m a work-n-progress.” Well, what can I say…you know each of us has one life…life is a journey…and in it there are (and will be) a series of transitions. So again, I believe that each day is yet another opportunity to grow…to learn….” “He allows us to make mistakes and to live through our mistakes, live beyond the pain and the tears…and brings us to a place in our lives of joy and peace and calm waters.” “It is through Him that I have my being.”
