Julie Ann Lightfoot Lucio

I was in a two-year toxic and abusive relationship with my ex-boyfriend. I’ll admit, I wasn’t perfect in the situation either, but as things fell apart, I found myself at risk of losing my 5 month old son. I had never hired a lawyer before and didn’t know what to expect when I reached out to Julie. L...ooking back, I’m pretty sure I was one of her most annoying clients! I was constantly emailing her, sometimes for reassurance, sometimes just to vent, Julie is truly one of a kind. With her, it’s not about the money. you can feel how deeply she cares about her clients. She gives each case the attention and effort it deserves, and she fights with a kind of motherly strength that’s hard to put into words. I wasn’t just able to talk to her about my case; I could talk to her about how the situation was breaking my heart. She was there with me every step of the way, day and night. Julie is compassionate, understanding, and relentless when it comes to protecting her clients. In court, she completely dismantled my child’s father’s case. To say she tore him a new one would be an understatement. Without her fighting for me, I have no doubt I wouldn’t be with my baby today. If you’re thinking about hiring Julie please do it. You will not regret it.

It’s not every day you meet someone who changes your life. For my fiancé and me, that person is Julie Lucio. When we found ourselves in the middle of an emotional and traumatic legal situation—one that no one ever expects or prepares for—it was Julie who stepped in, stood by us, and fought for us wit...h integrity, intelligence, and unwavering commitment. If you are ever in need of legal guidance, representation, or simply someone who truly listens and fights for you, I can say with absolute certainty: Julie Lucio is the attorney you want in your corner. Our story begins with a deeply disturbing event. My fiancé was physically assaulted by my ex-wife during an incident that could only be described as terrifying. Emotions were already high given the history, but when someone you love is hurt and you’re unable to prevent it, the sense of helplessness is crushing. We knew we needed legal help—but not just any attorney would do. We needed someone compassionate, strong, and deeply experienced in both the law and the courtroom. That’s when we found Julie. From our very first meeting, Julie Lucio was a calming and confident presence. She listened—truly listened—to everything we had to say. She never rushed us. She asked thoughtful questions, gave us space to explain the situation fully, and then laid out clear, realistic next steps. She never made empty promises, but she assured us she would fight to protect our rights and hold the aggressor accountable. And she did exactly that. What makes Julie stand out above all else is her combination of professionalism and genuine empathy. She didn’t treat us like a case number. She treated us like people—people who had been wronged and were trying to find justice in a system that often feels overwhelming and impersonal. She answered every phone call, replied to every email, and never made us feel like we were on our own. Her guidance made navigating the legal process far less intimidating. When the time came to go to court, Julie’s preparation was unmatched. She gathered evidence meticulously, prepared us for every possible scenario, and communicated clearly every step of the way. In the courtroom, she was powerful—measured, articulate, and commanding. Watching her advocate for us with such confidence and precision was nothing short of inspiring. But what truly sets Julie apart is her integrity. There were moments when emotions ran high—on both sides—but Julie never stooped to drama or manipulation. She relied on the truth, the law, and her experience. She defended my fiancé with grace and strength, ensuring that the court saw the situation for what it was: an unprovoked, violent assault that demanded accountability. Thanks to Julie’s exceptional work, the case was resolved in our favor, and justice was served. The relief we felt in the aftermath was overwhelming. Knowing that my fiancé was protected and that our truth had been recognized allowed us to finally begin to heal. Julie didn’t just win a case—she gave us peace of mind, security, and the ability to move forward with our lives. In addition to her stellar legal abilities, Julie Lucio is simply a good person. She cares. You feel it in every conversation. She understands that behind every case is a story, a family, and people who are often scared, confused, or in pain. She never made us feel like a burden—only like a priority. That kind of compassion is rare, and it made all the difference during one of the most difficult times of our lives.

More than that, she is human—and that humanity is reflected in everything she does.

Whether yo...u are facing false accusations, navigating the complexities of custody litigation, or trying to protect your family from unjust attacks, Julie will be in your corner—and there is no better place to be. Julie proved to be far more than a capable attorney—she was a bulldog in the courtroom. When it came time to defend me, she was fierce, laser-focused, and unshakably composed. She fought tooth and nail, presenting my case with clarity and a command of the law that clearly resonated with the judge. Her courtroom presence was nothing short of commanding. She challenged every falsehood, every exaggeration, every attempt at manipulation with fact-based arguments and a demeanor that balanced professionalism with unwavering strength.

I have waited to post this because I still struggle with getting the courage to cross my ex-husband and even still I’m using a different name. I haven't felt as satisfied as I was in trial after Julie handle my ex-husband. It is like all the things I've ever wanted to say but couldn't, were said. Eve...ry time I was cut down by him or couldn't find the words, it all came back on him at trial. I was brainwashed and didn't believe any one could handle him. To watch him get stuck, and lose his train of thought, and make him experience what I always went thru was glorious. I'm telling you, you can't pull one over on Julie. She is going to come full circle every time and it ends with embarrassment for anyone who thinks they can go to court and lie. Julie not only performed well in trial but she gave me the courage to go after what I deserved after a 20 year marriage. She was never pushy but made sure I knew my options. I also really liked that she was honest about how there were other things I might win but that she would make more money than me on it even if we won. I just can't recommend Julie enough.

I used Julie a few years ago to handle my divorce. I had been married for over 25 years, and in the course of finding her had consulted with about 6 other divorce/family law attorneys. I felt like the feedback that I was getting from the other attorneys was suspect, and even in some cases designed to... drive up their fees. After consulting with Julie, I knew immediately that I had found the right attorney. I felt like she truly cares about her client, and is not just looking for ways to extend the process and therefore increase the fee. I would definitely recommend her!
