Julie Colin has spent more than thirty years navigating the complexities of the courtroom, yet her focus remains firmly on the human side of the law. As a seasoned advocate for families, she handles everything from high-conflict custody disputes to private adoptions with a blend of assertive strategy and emotional intelligence. Julie’s academic credentials are top-tier, she graduated cum laude and second in her class from Seton Hall Law before later serving as an adjunct professor to mentor aspiring trial lawyers. This deep legal foundation, paired with her experience in civil litigation, makes her a formidable presence in court. However, she prefers to help clients reach thoughtful resolutions that protect their children and foster future stability. Her dedication to service extends into the community through her work with CASA and various outreach programs for foster youth. When she isn’t in the office, Julie can be found on her farm tending to rescue dogs or spending time with her three adult children. She brings a rare perspective to her practice, viewing every case as an opportunity to help a family find a path toward a better, more peaceful future through clear communication and unwavering support.

"Julie tells her clients that if they're up at night worrying, they should call her, and she means it. She is available, direct, and endlessly patient with people going through the worst stretch of their lives, especially where kids are involved. Thirty years in and she still works like it's personal, because to her it is."
