Instilled confidence and a pleasure to work with

I interviewed several lawyers prior to making a decision on who to engage to handle a difficult divorce proceeding. My primary interest was to identify someone who I would be able to communciate with candidly on delicate issues, would be genuinely engaged in examining and sharing all potential soluti...ons, and who was willing to debate when there were differences in opinion concerning approach. Julie turned out to be a perfect choice. The process was an extended one of more than one year and she always remained committed and communicated frequently on status. She was comprehensive in her efforts to protect my interests and thoughtful in her interactions with me, opposing counsel, and other interested parties. I was most appreciative of her personal engagement and candor at times when the process was emotionally charged and for the empathy she showed while remaining diligently committed to ensuring all my interests were protected. Julie understood how I as the client defined "winning" and built negotiating strategies that served those interests. In the most difficult and challenging moments of a long and frustrating process, and when I needed the support, she made herself available. Under any circumstances, I would recommend Julie.

Julie Gerock A+ Lawyer!

I would recommend Julie Gerock to all of my friends and family. Julie guided me through the toughest and most challenging time of my life. Her dedication and determination in negotiating for my rights and needs were paramount. She has a keen sense of understanding and her attention to the smallest... details sets her apart. I feel very fortunate and grateful to the person who recommended Julie to me!

Greatest family Attorney

Ms Gerock, is a realistic, sensible, highly intelligent attorney. Her years of experience, knowledge of the legal system and being a parent herself are all contributing factors as to why she is so persuasive in and out of the court room. Ms. Gerock sees the practical side of things and gets her po...int across in a clear concise manner in which others can immediately identify with and see her point of view. Julie has the ability to be agressive if need be, but realizes when to use it to her favor to suport your case. She has an overall very realistic approach and navigates the legalities of issues with ease. She is committed to providing you with the results you want and will keep you on the same page with her as you go through the process. There are not enough nice things I can say to thank her for the help she has provided me and my family. She has given my children and I the opportunity to progress with our lives and bring closure to years of battling that other attroneys could not provide me with. One day, when my children are grown and they can understand what was done for them, I would like to introduce them to the Ms. Gerock to thank her for allowing them to be able to grow and develop in a nurturing environment that they would not have normally gotten if Julie had not represented us. She is a true blessing to us and we are very thankfull. It has been a pleasure working with Julie, she works tirelessly to please her clients and strives to provide the desired outcome. She is always responsive to answer questions or concerns that come up and makes you feel comfortable when you ask questions that you may feel embarassed to ask. She is lightening fast when responding to things and always one step ahead of everything. Ms. Gerock is a magnificent attorney, who has taken a personal interest in seeing our family achieve the desired results and will work tirelessly to make that happen, not just because she can professionally, but because she knows its right for our family.

Review Julie C Gerock

I would recommend Julie Gerock to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer. Julie has a lot of experience handling divorces and it shows. She kept me informed during the entire process about new cases/jurisprudence that could have impacted my case, she always replied to my emails in a timely manner (som...etimes when she was out of the office, late in the afternoon). She was very dedicated and worked hard on my case. She showed some concern and asked how the transition was going when I and my kids moved out of the marital residence. She listened to my opinions and always suggested legal advice based on her experiences.
