Guardianship

She has represented me in court for divorce, custody and guardianship of my granddaughter. She is professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

Very Unprofessional

My family was looking for someone to represent a family member during a hearing, which Julie did. We had decided to have her represent our family member if our case ever did go to trial. I am so glad that we have decided not to. After the hearing, Julie stepped outside the waiting room, explained to ...my family and me what had occurred. I proceeded to translate everything to my family, as they do not fully understand English. I went on to translate to my family everything Julie said and was abruptly interrupted by her. She motioned her arms at us towards the door telling to wrap it up and leave. I was interrupted in mid-sentence explaining to my family what had just happened. It was very rude of Julie doing this, practically kicking us out of her office. It is very unprofessional of someone to tell you to get out of one's office the way she did. She may have a degree in law, but she has no sort of background knowledge in etiquette when treating her clients. My advice to her...we are in 2020, seek workshops, conferences, some sort of professional/moral development that will help you build your morals and etiquette if you want to be a successful lawyer. I am studying law, and I know for a fact already that the way you treated my family and me is not the way I will be treating my clients in the future.

Not worth the time

Hired to represent in divorce. Ended up losing everything because she sat back and let opposing counsel run the show. Went to court for a ruling on an issue and we never got an answer on that issue. Ex's counsel brought up a different issue and the original was never addressed again.

Julie was great!

I had Julie as an attorney in my case being charged with DUI 2nd. Julie was availible when i needed her or wanted to discuss my case. She was supportive in my decision to go to jury trial and we won the case! I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for representation.

Never return phone calls

It sure would be nice for Julue to take her clients welfare seriously. Sure it's just a social security disability case but my daughter has been living basically on the streets since Julie takes her time in getting my daughters case settled. My daughter has absolutely no money! My daughter has MS a...nd is almost in a wheelchair. It is going on TWO YEARS and Julue hasn't done one thing to get a judge to hear her case. What a lawyer!! Wow, I bet it won't take Julie TWO years to collect her fees! Do Not use this lawyer for a disability case unless you can afford to go penniless until your case goes to court.

The client's mother does not understand the process. Social Security sets the hearing date which takes 12-24 months to receive depending on the hearing office. The ethical rules prohibit me from advancing funds to clients. The full process was fully explained to the client. When I spoke to my client about this review she apologized and said her mother did not understand. I take my representation seriously.

"Julie is a great family law attorney, I highly recommend her. She knows the law really well and can answer almost any question prospective clients may have off the cuff based on her many years of practicing in Oceana County. She is a key player in the bar and knows the courts as well as anybody. If you have a family law issue in Oceana, you would do well to hire Julie."
