Julie Vaughn Mersereau

Julie was a fantastic advocate for me and my children during the collaborative law process. She was flexible with her schedule to work around times when i needed consultation and explained all aspects of collaborative as we went through the process and i had questions. I truly felt like I had a partn...er to help me navigate this difficult part of my life. For anyone who thinks Collaborative could be a route for them, I would highly recommend you work with Julie.

My case involved possible financial abuse and a false order of protection filed by my husband. I wanted to keep my children out of the fray, but wasn't convinced that my husband would be honest in Collaborative Law proceedings. Ms. Mersereau recommended that I leave my house given the tension between... my husband and I based on his false order of protection. However, Ms. Mersereau neglected to negotiate any legal agreement with my husband and his attorney prior to having me leave my house which essentially awarded the house to my husband along with primary custody of my children. A HUGE MISTAKE which I still cannot get out from under thanks to the lack of foresight from Ms. Mersereau. I absolutely would not recommend her to ANYONE. This one basic mistake has cost me dearly.
