Brook Meakins
Brook is a passionate advocate for her clients and is committed to seeking creative resolutions that are uniquely tailored to match client goals. She spends her days in court, and otherwise working with her team to ensure that all Meakins Law clients get the same attentive, specialized care that the firm quickly became known for. In addition to her family law practice, Brook is very involved in environmental climate-change advocacy work. In both realms she is a fierce champion of the rights of others, and it is this attribute that drives her success as an attorney and sets the tone for the entire firm. She devotes the same vibrant energy and attention to all of her clients, whether they are island nations affected by climate change or single fathers seeking greater involvement in their children’s lives.
Brook is fully committed to bringing the needs and desires of the client to the forefront of every discussion, never allowing the complexity of the law to hamper communication. Her gift for balancing an empathetic, resolution-focused mindset with an unflinching commitment to a just outcome is what differentiates her from her peers. Brook’s clients sense her dedication; her results speak for themselves. She is a graduate of the University of Oregon School of Law and hails from Eugene, Oregon. When she and her husband eventually found their way down to the Bay Area, they fell in love with the quality of life and decided to make it their home.

Vivianne Kelly, Attorney
Wanting to help families and children in difficult situations, Vivianne's big heart led her to choose family practice straight out of Loyola Law School in 2011. Recognizing that a law school education did not address the emotional and psychological aspects of family law litigation, she returned to school to earn her Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, which she completed in 2016.
Vivianne trained intensively in counseling techniques and provided 500 hours of therapy under supervision, on top of many hours of psychology classes. With broad knowledge of child development, healthy relationships, mindfulness, and healthy coping tools, Vivianne takes seriously her role as a trauma-informed counselor at law. Her psychology background also gives her a strategic edge in emotional family law litigation and negotiations.
Vivianne has a sharp legal mind and provides tough advocacy but gentle feedback. Most importantly, her dedication, responsiveness and availability to her clients during what is often one of the most difficult periods of their lives provides a source of reliable support and reassurance when everything else might feel up in the air.

Angela Nelson, Paralegal and Office Manager
An Oakland native, for better or for worse, Angela brings to her work a precise eye and a pleasant spirit. Earning a Bachelor's Degree in Child and Adolescent Development from San Jose State University, she is passionate about the needs of children and families which greatly informs her work at Meakins Law. After a well rounded career in Early Childhood Education, ranging from infant care to youth development, Angela decided to pursue an American Bar Association approved certificate in Paralegal Studies from Cal State East Bay. She quickly realized how her enthusiastic attitude toward children would translate well into a family law environment. Working for the Alameda County DA's office for 5 years provided her with valuable understanding of civil litigation and a unique perspective on what it means to truly put people first.
Outside of work Angela is a proud soccer mom to her son, budding self-taught floral designer, boba connoisseur and would drop anything to go to the beach. She enjoys spending time with her loved ones and reading books about spirituality.
