"There is no alternative"

I’ve been a client of Julie’s since my divorce in 2011. As I stated before there is no other choice or alternative when I need representation & counsel. Julie recently guided me through a tough custody situation where again she demonstrated her skills as a Class A attorney, may I add “BEST IN CLASS”... attorney. As difficult as the case was for me , Julie showed compassion and understanding through the entire process. At times where I was worried, Julie reminded me of the facts and guided me through. Her skills were demonstrated as she worked the case discovering evidence and facts that ultimately brought us to a positive conclusion. Julie is intelligent and is fully versed in family law. Watching Julie in litigation was truly impressive. Because of her skill set and understanding of law, In the end we achieved the exact results we were looking for. Julie and her team are truly amazing for the work they do. Julie and team were always readily available and were there whenever I had questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone faced with any family law concerns. I can’t thank her enough….she is the BEST!!!

Great lawyer!

I just finished working with Julie for almost two years now, through a (to put it mildly), very messy divorce. There are many highs and lows throughout the process, but I can honestly say that Julie and her team are the only reason I made it out intact. As you can imagine, there are occasions all ra...tionale and logic can leave you. That is when I found the advice and support given by Julie and Matt to be a godsend. I cannot count how my times I would receive a call from one or both of them to check in with me, just to see if I was okay. Additionally, I found Julie to be quite insightful. Her ability to weed through the nonsense and get to the heart of the matter at hand to be spot on. Example: On occasion, I could rant and rave for 20-30 minutes while she patently listened. When I was finished, she would say (usually in one sentence or less) "So this is what you mean"... my response would be "Exactly". I can and will recommend Julie to anyone who needs a incredibly talented and gifted lawyer. Brian H
