Very Informative Response

I had a question regarding my 19 year old son’s mental health status and guardianship. Ms. Sullivan was helpful in her response due to being honest and informative. I appreciate the empathy shown by her as well. I’ve been trying to research for a while and will continue to keep digging for a resoluti...on for my son and myself. Thank you, J.H. Sullivan. Bless you and be well.

Exceptional Attorney

We contacted Ms. Sullivan to create a Revocable Living Trust. She was incredibly detailed, communicative, and responsive. Ms. Sullivan posed outstanding questions, offered her insight and legal expertise and crafted a thorough trust on our behalf. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking a...n estate attorney. We will most certainly use her services in the future. She was exceptional. We thank her for her time and efforts on our behalf.

Mrs. Sullivan was prompt in returning my calls when I was initially looking for an Estate and Gaurdianship/Conservatorship Attorney due to an emergency circumstances. I would highly recommend Mrs. Sullivan. She handled my very extreme and complex case like a Champion. She is very respectful, thorough... and she cares what happens to her Client's. She explained the courts process in probate by putting them in lamens terms and was very patient and understanding in repeating anything that I may have misunderstood or had gotten confused on while going the process of paperwork or anything else for that matter. If you are looking for a attorney to handle any complexed and extreme case you may have call Mrs. Sullivan you will not regret you ever did. I am living proof that she gets the job done quickly and she is very precise. Sheprotected my rights when I felt I had no one else that would consider my extremely difficult cases. Thank You Mrs. Sullivan you are an angel sent from above. God Bless you!

A Great Attorney!

From our first conversation, I knew that Julia and I were going to work together. Julia not only helped my brother and I through a long, legal process, but made sure she explained the issues concerning the case, thoroughly. She always had a great sense of humor, but, was a lion, when she needed to ...be. I have recommended others to her firm and will continue to do so. We were very satisfied with the caring attitude and professionalism we experienced.

Highly Recommended

For the services I used Mrs Sullivan for, she was knowledgeable and very competent. She is almost always available and always reponds to email and phone calls. I recommend her to anyone looking for representation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
