Juli Ann Gumina

I hired Juli for a divorce from a 9 year marriage. The divorce was horrible, my ex was completely unreasonable, and the whole process was incredibly complicated with kids, custody and supervision issues, and financial problems. Juli was always available to answer my questions, and was super knowledge...able. She was up front and honest about prospects, and not afraid to tell me what I wanted or was doing was unrealistic or damaging to the case. She also was very personable. You could really tell that she cared on a personal level about my situation and the kids and myself.

I was referred to Juli’s office by close family friends. The initial consultation was great and for the most part most things went smoothly. However upon receiving my final invoice I was charged for multiple things that made no sense. Most charges had full descriptions than slide in there would be “c...ase work”. I was also charged juli’s full rate for the day of court when one of the new attorneys actually presented my case because she was “learning”. I also should mention They attempted to charge me for this new attorney to review my case prior to court! My final bill would have been almost $1500 more than my initial retainer had I not fought it for a divorce that was incredibly open and shut. I could see her being helpful with more complicated divorces as she is an intelligent lawyer but in my case my experience was terrible.

Juli is an exceptional person and one of the most experienced and effective family lawyers in the state. She has assisted me in a post-decree matter several times over the course of 12 years. Each time, she took the time to truly understand the issue, she paid attention to what I, the client, wante...d, and she was terrific about keeping me up to speed about what was happening in court. Her firm is amazing and the paralegals and support staff there make it a priority to keep clients connected. There is no one else in the state that I would recommend for family law issues. Juli truly understand the client's needs, personally AND professionally. Working in the legal field myself, I can honestly say that lawyers with her combination of client compassion and expertise are very rare. She is as good as it gets.

I felt that Ms. Gumina provided a comforting level of attentiveness and observation toward details of my case at our initial consultation. I had used her for a parentage case file out of state. I felt that I was dealing with someone who sypathised with my challenges. I was given a short, yet realist...ic, description of potential outcomes and mitigating circumstances oit side of our control. She was highly efficient with her time and my own. I was given direction to work with from a referral, which I will certainly pass along.

Juli Gumina and the employees at Sullivan Taylor & Gumina are highly professional and knowledgable lawyers. Juli always made sure that my husband and I were always updated on any and all developments of our partition suit. At the same time, Juli strived to ensure that my husband and I received what w...e deserved. Juli and her team worked very hard on our case, calling us after work hours and even on the weekends. Juli Gumina has a wonderful personality and is great to work with. She always made sure that we were comfortable with each and every step that was taken during our lawsuit. Juli has a very good heart and was always there for my husband and I through this VERY difficult and emotional situation. She always has a great smile and a positive attitude to go with it. Juli and her staff not only have the highest level of respect for the law, but also for their clients. She was there to support us, guide us, and help us no matter what. It was an absolute pleasure working with Juli and the ST&G team. I would never go anywhere else! THANK YOU JULI!
