Planning for the future should bring peace of mind—not stress.

I am especially committed to serving BIPOC elders by providing accessible, clear, and culturally responsive estate planning services. All matters are handled virtually and securely, allowing you to plan with confidence from anywhere in California.

Law Office of Abbi Novotny, Esquire

I founded this law firm with a clear mission: to provide compassionate, accessible, and empowering legal services for every stage of life. Whether you are navigating a family transition, planning your estate, addressing a criminal matter, or seeking support with public benefits or employment-related issues, I am here to advocate for you with integrity and care.


As a fully virtual law firm, I’ve eliminated many of the traditional barriers that prevent individuals from accessing legal assistance. There are no office visits, no long commutes, and no unnecessary gatekeeping—just secure, encrypted client portals, flexible communication options, and personalized legal support tailored to meet you wherever you are in California.


Legal Support That Meets You Where You Are

Justice should never be a luxury. That’s why I’ve built my practice to be as inclusive, accessible, and client-centered as possible. I am proud to serve the LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC elders, and individuals from historically marginalized communities—those too often overlooked by the traditional legal system. With flexible payment options and a steadfast commitment to dignity, equity, and respect, I ensure that your voice is heard and your legal needs are prioritized.


No matter where you are in California—whether in Los Angeles, Sacramento, Oakland, San Diego, or a small town in between—my services are fully remote. Through secure video consultations, e-signatures, and virtual court representation, I’m able to provide high-quality legal support from wherever you are, whenever you need it.


A Legal Partner for Every Season of Life

From joyful milestones like adoption and marriage to challenging times involving custody disputes or workplace discrimination, life’s transitions often come with important legal considerations. I’m not here just to handle a single case—I’m here to be your trusted legal partner for the journey ahead.
