Highly Recommend Julie Smith

I worked with Julie on a divorce that turned highly contentious due to the opposing party. At all times, Julie was the level head, with a keen understanding of the nuances of the law and always with an eye on the big picture and end goals. She was invaluable in guiding me through the process and achi...eving the best outcome for my kids and I.

Ethical Compassionate Dedicated Divorce & Custody Attorney

Julianne helped my daughter & in turn, my grandsons, through the most difficult period of their lives. Despite being during the pandemic with unforeseen challenges, Julie expertly advised my daughter on custody matters, child support, and relocation. Ultimately, my daughter was granted a fair judgmen...t, which Julie had masterly composed, while effortlessly navigating through the emotionally charged nature of divorce. My grandsons are protected and my daughter is building a new life post-divorce. Our family will always have resounding gratitude for Julie’s hard work, professionalism, & dedication. She deserves 10 out 10 stars!

Friendly & Experienced

Julianna helped my fiancé with his Divorce. We called for a free consult and by the end of the call we hired her! We did not need to look any further. She ensured us a great outcome in the end and she did just that!! The fears of having to get a divorce and now knowing where to begin was very unsettl...ing until we meet Julie and she came highly recommended!! We thank her so much and will be celebrating our nuptials this year and it was all because of her!!! Her knowledge and reassurance helps ease the process.... We recommend Julie!!!!!

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.
