Incredible at what she does and a great person.

My wife and I used Julia for our estate planning after having our first child, and she could not have been better at patiently explaining all of it to a couple of novices. After we had our 2nd and 3rd child, we had no hesitation to use her again for needed updates to our plan. I give Julia the high...est recommendation possible. you will not be disappointed.

Strong Recommendation of Julia Abbott

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Julia back in 2013. Like many individuals, we were overwhelmed, intimidated and confused about the estate planning process. Julia is incredibly well informed on the variety of approaches one could deploy. More importantly she took the time to listen t...o us, to assess our goals, our challenges and fears. This positioned her to leverage her skill and insight to tailor solutions that were perfect for our needs. I have since recommended others to Julia, and I am happy to report that they enjoyed the same experience.

Great Experience!

We worked w/Julia a couple of times for the purpose of Estate Planning for our family. She was terrific to work with and did a great job walking us through the process regardless of our level of experience on the topic (which was limited for my wife and I). We went into the process completely intimid...ated and came out of it completely confident that we've taken care of my family...thanks to Julia's guidance and hard work.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
