Professional and hard working!

Julie Gerock is an exceptional attorney. I was long divorced but had a custody issue. My ex wanted to take my son out of the country for 1 year on assignment. She handled the case extremely well. She was always quick to respond, whether I called or emailed, nights weekends etc. She listened to m...y input and always explained all options. It was clear she was very experienced and knew exactly what she was doing. She fought for my son as if he was her own. If I ever need legal representation again, I would not hesitate to call upon her and can highly recommend her and her staff.

Extraordinary representation during difficult times

After consulting with a number of different lawyers, I finally settled on Julie Gerock to represent me for a difficult divorce. Her warmth, professionalism, and utterly realistic assessments of what was possible and what wasn't, convinced me that she would be the perfect person to take over my case. ...My expectations were surpassed by her performance. She was tough, empathic, rigorous as an advocate, with a complete command of the intricacies of the law. I recommend her with enthusiasm and with no hesitation whatsoever.

Former Client

Julie Gerock is an exceptional attorney who is extremely experienced in all aspects of her field. In the chaotic, emotional turmoil of a domestic dispute you need someone you can trust to give you accurate, thorough and honest counsel. Julie Gerock is that attorney.

Amazing.

From the moment I retained Julie, I felt like I had a trusted advisor on my side. She immediately explained the process to me, and kept me informed every step of the way. She is a fierce negotiator, and has allowed me to step back while she advocates on my behalf, thus keeping emotions out of the d...iscussion. She has made more progress in the last 2 months than I have in the last 2 years.

A professional, knowledgeable attorney on your side

Julie is an awesome attorney who is efficient and honest, and was always looking out for me through my divorce negotiations and settlement. Even my ex-husband noted that she was a top-flight attorney! She's a problem solver who can cut to the chase and help you understand the legal realities of your... situation. Highly recommend!

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.
