Annie Levitt Heller

team

Annie is deeply committed to guiding clients through the often-overwhelming process of a personal injury case with clarity, compassion, and confidence. Annie was first introduced to personal injury law while working as a legal assistant and paralegal for Sally Morin in the firm’s San Francisco office. Annie was impressed by Sally’s fast-paced, client-centered, no-drama philosophy focused on helping people move forward and put stressful events behind them, which inspired Annie to pursue a legal career of her own.

After earning her law degree in Los Angeles, Annie gained valuable litigation experience representing corporate defendants in civil matters for the LA offices of Sedgwick LLP and Cozen O’Connor. There, she developed a deep understanding of defense strategy and civil litigation, skills she now leverages to advocate effectively for injured clients.

Annie later returned to Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers to follow her passion for working directly with individuals and families in need. She played a key role in launching the firm’s Los Angeles office and is proud to be part of a dynamic, all-women team that is redefining personal injury law through exceptional service, transparency, and purposeful advocacy. Over the course of her career with Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers, Annie has recovered more than $13 million in personal injury settlements for her clients. She is known for her meticulous preparation, persuasive negotiation skills, and unwavering advocacy, ensuring her clients receive not only strong financial results, but also the support and responsiveness they need during the case.

Outside of her practice, Annie enjoys spending time with her family. She loves the ocean and can often be found surfing with her husband, swimming and building sand castles with her kids. She also loves to hike with her dog, or just tootle around town on her bike. Annie earned her Juris Doctor from Southwestern Law School, where she served as Editor in Chief of the Southwestern Law Review. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from University of California, San Diego.

Annie is passionate about supporting and guiding clients through the complicated process of a personal injury case. She was first introduced to personal injury law by Sally Morin in 2009 when she worked as a legal assistant and paralegal in Sally’s San Francisco office. Sally and her fast-paced, service-oriented, no-drama approach that allows her clients to get back to their lives and leave a stressful event behind, inspired Annie to take the next step in her career and attend law school.

After attending law school in Los Angeles, Annie worked as an Associate Attorney for the LA offices of Sedgwick LLP and Cozen O’Connor, where she served corporate defense clients in civil litigation. In September 2017, Annie returned to Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers to follow her passion for working directly with those in need, and to help launch the new Los Angeles office. Annie is thrilled to be part of an incredibly talented group of women who are disrupting the practice of personal injury law and providing the type of service clients not only need but deeply appreciate.

Annie received her J.D. in 2014 from Southwestern Law School, where she was the Editor in Chief of the Southwestern Law Review. She received her B.A. in political science from the University of California, San Diego in 2005. When she is not advocating for her clients, Annie enjoys spending time at the beach with her son and husband, surfing, practicing yoga, hiking with her dog, traveling, or simply riding her bike around town. Annie stays connected to her community by volunteering as an attorney participant with the Teen Court program for Venice High School and Santa Monica High School and working with low-income healthcare and homelessness outreach programs such as Venice Family Clinic and The Midnight Mission.

GET TO KNOW ANNIE

What are you most proud of in your career?
I argued an opposition to a motion for summary judgment for a big case in Riverside Superior Court, and argued against a very experienced lawyer and won. It was a big deal for the firm and a great experience.
Vietnamese food! I have always loved Vietnamese food and my husband and I went to Vietnam a couple of years ago and spent two weeks eating our way around the country. It was amazing.
The ocean. I need to see it and touch it. Too long without it makes me sad.
Cooking all day in pajamas and drinking wine while cooking Thanksgiving Dinner. My entire family loves to cook, so for Thanksgiving, we always spent the whole day cooking together in our pajamas. Real clothes were frowned upon. We missed the past couple of years for various reasons, but I hope we will start this back up again next year!
Therapist. I love hearing about people’s problems and making suggestions even if they don’t ask, haha.
Don’t sweat the small stuff. The big stuff will be worth the worry.
