I wish we knew what Julie was really like

I would not recommend Julie. It's unfortunate that we thought we had found an attorney that would be able to be used for awhile. She seemed to really care about our case, as well she talked a really big game. Tables turned quickly. We were able to gain custody, however she charged us for several phon...e conversations in which she was just chatting, nothing related to our case, but racked up our bill. Charged us for a deposition that was supposed to be charged to the defendant. Beware, she also will "settle fees" for the balance of your bill, and then tack on interest after the order is set. We are now needing to continue our fight in the court system to deal with the drama from Julie. The ABA and Illinois Bar association has not gotten involved and guided us on how to dispute the charges. She refuses to be a professional and call us back, or email us back. We called nearly daily for over a month, left messages, tried to set up meetings, with nothing in return. She also dropped the ball on some things in the custody order and the police have had to get involved with custody exchanges. We have contacted her on this, with no return calls, or emails. If you want an attorney to represent you, be honest, trustworthy, and upfront, DO NOT retain Julie Doyle. One of the biggest regrets I have is hiring her as an attorney.

I'm sorry that you were upset about paying interest on your monthly payment plan that the judge ruled upon.

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.
