Julie Fortin - Above and Beyond, the Best

Julie was superb throughout the process. Highly professional, pro-active, making constructive suggestions and organizing all the relevant documents efficiently. She knows the court system inside out. I can't imagine finding anyone else with her experience and ability; highly recommended.

So glad I found her!!!

Ms. Fortunately was truly a Godsend! I was at a low point in my marriage and NEEDED out! I was concerned because my now ex husband was incarcerated and I didn’t k ow where to begin. I saw a billboard one day while heading to Atlanta and I sent an email to Ms. Fortin and that is where the magic began.... It took 5 months from start to finish ONLY because my ex was dragging his feet about signing the papers. Not only was she an excellent and diligent attorney; but, when I was emotional, she encouraged and consoled me. She said she understood! The personal touch was evident and felt. I never met her in person and was able to handle my entire divorce via email and phone calls. She knows her laws, she knows what it takes to get it done and she helps guide you during the entire process. She constantly keeps you updated on the progress of your divorce and i would recommend you do yourself a favor and retain her for your legal needs. She was also quite affordable! Thank you Attorney Fortin for such excellent and professional service!

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.
