Literally the Best!

Dealing with any lawyer can be such a daunting task, and as a single father trying to finalize my divorce and custody agreement, it was safe to say that my expectations were measured at best. Julie and her team did a tremendous job in making me feel valued and took the time to get to know me as a per...son prior to even making a decision on taking my case. Her expertise in family law made me feel reassured and the open lines of communication gave me a sense of relief knowing that I could reach out and ask her legal counsel on any circumstance that arose during the process. Being with my son is the most important thing to me, and I wouldn't have been able to do that without the help of Julie and her team. I would highly recommend her firm to anyone in need of family & immigration law services.

Fierce Advocate

In the DC metropolitan area where family law attorneys are abundant in supply, it has become common to hear stressful stories of people who have searched long and hard for the right attorney for their cases, only to retain an attorney who suddenly loses interest and dedication to their case shortly a...fter they have been paid a large retainer fee. This is not the case with the Oliver-Zhang Law Office legal team, as they do not shy away from a complex case and will bring the necessary tough litigation strategy, skill and fierce determination to see your case through to the very end. Even more importantly, Julie Oliver-Zhang is one of the few attorneys whom you can trust and who will not sell you out in those infamous side discussions and negotiations with opposing counsel. My case was a “David vs. Goliath” scenario, wherein my opponent had endless resources and a strong legal team. Despite this overwhelming situation that intimidated and bested my previous attorneys, Julie and her team were able to successfully navigate through all of the obstacles that the opposing side tried to throw our way. In the end, we were victorious and she was able to get me an outcome greater than what I had expected. Moreover, her senior counsel, Amanda Utterback, is excellent in her legal skills and very innovative in developing litigative strategies. Together they are a force not to be reckoned with. It is with high praise and admiration, and no hesitation that I recommend the Oliver-Zhang Law Office legal team.

"Julie is the best. She is a rare and extremely special lawyer. I found her by searching Super Lawyers in DC, but Super Lawyer is an understatement when it comes to this wonderful woman. Julie is a modern day saint. She is absolutely brilliant, strategic, thorough, and brings a human element to her practice that is unheard of. Within a few moments of speaking with her, I immediately knew I was dealing with someone who was cut from a different cloth. She was never crass and showed nothing but care and concern for my case. She went above and beyond the call of duty. Her only concern was for my well-being. Despite her angelic character, she is fierce, competent, amazing and possesses supreme knowledge of the law. Notwithstanding her busy schedule, she contacted and advised me on a regular basis all before she was even retained. She never once tried to solicit my business. The law is a noble profession and she is model for all lawyers. I only wish the world had more people like Julie. 10+"
