Rude

Never will I do any type of business with her, her attitude is so nasty and she like to belittle you instead of talk to you PLEASE RUN do not hire

Still Stunned!!!

I hired her in April. She didn't do anything with my case. She never even filed the case with the court. Paid her the $299 and then she wants more money. Price kept increasing and no closer to a divorce. No return phone calls. I still have yet to hear this woman's voice. I don't even know if she actu...ally exists. You send her an email and it takes her 24 hours to respond and she gives you a vague answer. Towards the end of July, I couldn't take it anymore. My divorce papers still hadn't been filed. I asked her about filing for divorce through publication. She gave me all the reasons why it would be so difficult to file and how the judge probably would not approve the filing for publication. I finally told her to either take my case seriously, or I would have to terminate her as my attorney. She agreed and gave me some of my money back. She really should have given all of it back to me considering she didn't do anything. I ended up going to the Courts and filing my own divorce. It cost me $214 to file my own paperwork and file for publication in the same day. I'm almost done with this and it did not take months. The judge approved me to file for publication a few days after I filed my documents in court. Sometimes its better to try it on your own. My case was simple. No community property, no children, etc. I read the positive posts from several clients and I am glad that she was able to assist you all with your life change; but for whatever reason, she would not assist me. I now understand why they call her the $299 divorce lawyer. Because you pay $299 and nothing is done. I just gave this woman $299 of my hard earned money!!! And that's why I'm Still Stunned!

Excellent!!

I hired Julie Ernst-Fortin to help me through my divorce and she exceeded my expectations. I was thrilled by her efficiency and diligence concerning my case. My uncontested divorce took no time at all to complete. I had no need to speak to Julie in person because everything was thoroughly explained t...o me via email and I followed her directions precisely. One month later my divorce was finalized and I couldn't be happier. Ms. Ernst-Fortin really relieved me from any normal stress a divorce would entail. I highly recommend her for a quick, stress and drama free divorce.

Quick, easy, low cost divorce

I found the uncontested divorce process to be extremely uncomplicated since Julie Ernst-Fortin PC provided easy to follow step-by-step written instructions along the way. Julie answered my emails promptly with clear, concise responses, and let me know the anticipated timeline for every milestone in ...the process. I thought about trying to file the paperwork myself but I am glad that I didn't do that because it seems that it would have been confusing to do on my own. Without a doubt I would recommend Julie Ernst-Fortin PC to anyone considering a divorce.

Excellent Choice for an Attorney!!

Julie Ernst-Fortin is the best attorney you could retain for your divorce! She is very organized and detailed oriented! Julie always kept me updated on my case. The process took approximately 7 weeks from the time I filed to the time I received my final decree. She made a difficult process run very s...moothly! On top of her excellent customer service, the cost was within my budget.
