Grateful

The most useful lawyer I have ever talked to

I only had a consultation with Julie, but the information she has provided was precious. She was fair and honest regarding the situation, giving clear answers and warning me about the things I would not even consider to think about. I had a question regarding prenup-postnup and she has given me a perfectly clear description of what I really need warning me of risks and issues I may face. I wish every lawyer I ever contacted was as knowledgeable and willing to share the information as Julie. Great thank you, Julie!

GREAT ATTORNEY

Ms. Brett was great! She represented me a post-decree matter. She was always readily available to answer any questions or concerns. She was a professional. She was always very insightful and took time to explain the laws to me. I would whole heartedly refer her to any of my friends. The firm was also great.
