Julie Ann Lightfoot Lucio

I have used Julie for several matters including modifications, enforcements, and now termination of rights. Julie always takes the time to listen to your case and is very upfront and honest about how the case will go and cost. Her prices are a little higher than other attorneys I have used in the pas...t but she is well worth every penny! I recommend her to everyone and will continue to use her in the future. Thank you Julie for everything you have done for me and my family... you really helped change our lives.

Julie Lucio is the best Family Law Attorney that I have ever seen! Hands down! To see her in action , in a court room, "unbelieveable." My case was complicated, because I was dealing with a lot of emotional distress and feelings of betrayal from my ex-spouse. She is a licensed psychologist, as well,... so she was able to cater to that side of me as well. She commands the respect from the opposing counsels, at all times, by making sure that everyone is on the same page, during this time, looking out for her client. When I first saw her I was like "WOW"!! She had a "powerful" demeanor about her, that I couldn't put my finger on. When first meeting an attorney, you feel that most of them are "ONLY" about money, which was my biggest fear. I searched for other attorneys, but I kept coming back to her, because it was something about her that I felt was exactly what I needed to fight for my children and also my needs as well. I was a stay at home mother, for over 15 years, and was afraid that I was going to be left to care for my kids alone, my ex-husband was definetly trying to railroad me, because I hadn't worked, as well suffer mentally by wondering how I was going to begin my life again with no job and no money. My ex-spouse didn't care how we were going to manage, but Julie made sure I understood that all feelings had to be placed aside and I had to do what was necessary to win in the courtroom. She always wanted to do the "right" thing at all times, because she had "genuine" desire to make sure that is done by the book, which I thought was a wonderful display of "integrity and character". As my ex-husband continued to throw jabs during the process leading to the final trial, I wanted to react to EVERYTHING!! She advised me otherwise, again, the integrity factor. Before my final trial, I recieved so much support from her very professional staff. A staff that really cared about me and how I was feeling. We became a family and they encouraged me to move on with my life, and they helped me through that very difficult time. I was able to walk in to the courtroom with a sense of peace, knowing that I was covered by one of the best lawyers of our time. I felt protected as if she was my "guard"..almost. She fought for me to the end. I watch her deliver the knock out punch to the other side, and I walked away from my divorce hearing with a ruling from the judge that was unbelievable. It made me feel better about my divorce and that finally I can move on with my life and raise my children, knowing that we are financially secure and that the burden is now lifted. I got stuff that I didn't even ask for!! I was afraid of "life after divorce", but am now thankful that I was finally able to let go and focus on living my life and being a great example to my daughters and my son. I really learned the value of "you get what you pay for" and I didn't even have to worry to much about that either cause the judge made my ex give some attorney's fees back too!! Life is good and Julie Lucio ROCKS!!!!

I found Julie from this site after reading reviews with information provided and I retained Julie for my divorce in March 2016. My spouse and I were separated for almost a year and all assets, accounts, and debts had been divided. The only part of the divorce not finalized was the retirement and ho...w to get my spouse a specific monthly payment (contracted alimony) from now until I retire and have the retirement distribution be comparable in monthly amount. This was not the normal divorce retirement settlement but this is what my spouse and I agreed to. I looked to my attorney to assist me in determining how to get this done. I was told that my request was irregular and she would get it done. After office visits, phone calls, emails, I seemed to be explaining everything again and she consistently wanted me to do it the standard way. It seemed to get increasingly complicated and somehow we were not communicating the way we each needed to hear it. It was August 2016, 5 months and $3,000 later with a draft decree that did not meet the retirement solution, no QDRO and found out later that my spouses waiver of service was never received from my spouse so it never filed. I contacted a another attorney referred by an attorney at work. I meet with that Attorney in late August 2016 provided the same information given to Julie and that attorney completely understood what we were trying to achieve with the retirement, gave me three possible solutions with the pros and cons and advised as to my request not the norm. The attorney said I was being very generous and knew my intent was to do the right thing. We only met the one time and as of 11-4-16 I am divorced and was the result we wanted from the beginning with decree, QDRO and waiver of service from my spouse filed with the court. I basically paid double having to switch attorneys but it was worth it with piece of mind in dealing with an attorney that knew how to get what I wanted done.. In they end a personal referral was my best avenue.
