Julia Lynette Bancroft

Ms. Julia was the amicus attorney with my child custody battle. I don't have enough words to talk about her. She was very professional, sincere, dedicated and hardworking. She stood for the truth and was the main person to ensure justice. She did an excellent job for the best of my kids. I was surprised with the way she worked with me. She notices even the minute details. Her background as a criminal lawyer helped a lot to identify the truth. She is smart, experienced and a wonderful person. She made each and every conversations a memorable one by relieving my stress. My kids loved her. I extend my sincere thanks.. I wish her good luck!!

The one word that comes to mind when I think of Julia Bancroft is, Angel. She was with me and my family when we were at the lowest of lows. She worked with us and educated us on all the processes. I would recommend her to anyone in need of her services. She is caring, open and supportive. Most importantly she cares about the children and their best interest. She has a staff that is just as wonderful. There is no other lawyer I would rather have had than Julia. Sometimes life puts unexpected obstacles in your way and you need assistants getting through them. I fortunately had Julia and her staff to get me through them. Julia will always have a place in my heart.

I requested a consultation regarding the proposed Final Decree of Divorce I received from my spouse for an uncontested divorce. Ms. Bancroft was honest, knowledgable, communicated clearly during the in-person consult, and followed up with helpful emails. Her advice and recommendations were exactly what I asked for and needed. The consultation fee was worth every penny. I would recommend Ms. Bancroft without reservation to anyone needing an uncontested divorce lawyer.

Julia is an outstanding lawyer and I highly recommend her. Previous to Julia, I had hired and worked with four other family law firms and none other has given me the excellent counsel and produced the favorable legal results, as I have received with Julia. Her exceeding level of care and attention is hard to find elsewhere. I received her help in my child support case, my ex-husband was delinquent for nearly 5+ years ($40k+) and with her excellent knowledge and expertise, I now receive monthly child support payments. She has a very confident, sharp and commanding presence in the court room and has continued to be a reliable and trusted source for my continued family law matters. Thank you Julia so much!

I came to Julia with my child custody case in March and by the end of a April she had won my case. I had spoken to a couple lawyers before I found Julia and I didn't get the feeling in my gut that I had when I first spoke with her. As soon as I got off the phone with her I knew she was the lawyer for me. Julia kept me at ease the entire time and never let me down. She was always a phone call or email away. Julia always made sure that I understood everything that was going on every step of the way, she was so caring, understanding, professional, kind hearted and so very trust worthy. She had my best interest in mind throughout everything. Julia really took care of me and my daughter. She puts so much effort and time into her cases before hand and was always so prepared for everything that came our way. Julia truly cares about her clients and will do anything for them. I was so fortunate that I was able to have Julia as my attorney. She is truly the best attorney out there and I would recommend her over and over again.

Julia is the absolute best. We were so fortunate to find her. After meeting with her at length, we knew we didn't need to speak to any other attorneys. Julia represented my daughter in her case for custody. She is very professional, caring, compassionate and ethical. Julia takes the time to explain things. You never feel rushed and responding back to you is always quick. From start to finish, our case took less than 2 months. Julia does so much beforehand that it went smoothly. She was able to reach a favorable agreement without having to actually go to court. I really believe it's because of everything she puts in leading up to going to trial. She did a lot. She's that brilliant. I highly recommend Julia Brancroft to anyone needing an attorney that is an expert.

Julia is a top notch attorney who clearly cares about her clients as well as the child's best interest. Because she was once employed by the Domestic Relations office in Harris County, Julia is able to effectively navigate you through the child custody modification process. I would recommend Julia to anyone going through a sticky child custody battle. She helped me make good decisions about my case, without braking the bank.

We hired Julia to defend us in a child support disagreement. During the entire process Julia was very open, helpful, and took the time to teach us our rights. She took the time to understand the case completely and worked to settle the case directly with the opposing attorney. In the end it took several rounds of negotiations but we were able to come to a settlement with any formal hearings, a bit win in our book. In the end we were able to settle the dispute and we won on all counts. Julia was even able to get our legal fees paid for as part of the settlement. What I appreciated most is that Julia protected us for the day to day stresses of dealing with a bad situation. She was always an advocate for us and desired to see that our children were cared for. I can't say enough good things about Julia and would recommend her to anyone.

My ex-husband and his new wife filed suit against me to modify his child support. I am in the oil and gas industry and had lost my job a year and a half ago and was without comparable work and pay for a year. At the time the suit was brought against me, I was barely making ends meet and had to modify my living arrangements (I’m certain he counted on me not being able to financially afford to retain representation) – and he was right. I tried to Answer his Petition and was considering representing myself. He was asking that his child support be reduced by almost $600/mo. and was also asking for me to pay his attorney fees. After further prayer and thought, I knew this was a risk that I could not take, so I began praying that God would make a way for me to be able to afford representation and I began praying he’d put the right attorney in front of me. I was speaking with an old friend and he told me about Julia. She represented him in a modification suit where his ex-wife was wanting a modification for an increase. He said Julia is super sharp, on top of her game and a fighter. That is exactly who and what I needed. One week before mediation I received a bonus from my company and it was enough for me to make an initial payment to retain Julia (thank you Jesus). After speaking with her, she immediately made me feel more at ease about the situation. Odds were stacked against me, but she told me her own personal story and I knew she was passionate about her cause and was not looking for just another dollar, but to truly help me and more importantly, my son. During our proceedings we had to mediate twice, had a temporary hearing (of which the judge didn’t make any modifications at that time), and then a final hearing. Throughout the entire ordeal Julia was always reachable and was very diligent about returning my calls, emails or text messages. She was very passionate about my case and exuded confidence and compassion. She knew the law, but still spent countless hours reviewing my case, reviewing the law, reviewing other cases to reference in my suit, and was always very well prepared. She always acted in a professional manner (even when other representation didn’t always). The case was being heard in a small town, of whom, my ex’s attorney regularly practiced. Julia had only practiced just a few times in this town and therefore, had no previous knowledge on how this judge typically rules, and she was the outsider. While in mediation, she was effectively presenting that my ex-husband was under-employing himself, so that he could have the child support reduced, the mediator tells us that the odds are stacked against us that the judge would never rule in our favor. Julia did not see this as a negative, but kept her composure and her professionalism, and saw it rather as a challenge. She put together a brief on my case, all the financials and timelines of my ex’s work history, reason for leaving jobs, ect. and presented it to the judge, even after the mediator had told us the judge wouldn’t even read it. Ultimately, the judge read her brief. We left the court room with my ex having to pay me more per month than what he was paying me when he filed the suit. Julia fought long and hard for me. Julia continuously exercised unprecedented poise and professionalism. She’s a compassionate, smart attorney that will stay up all night working on your case. If Julia accepts your case, she gives you her all! You will have hired a warrior! She prepares for her battles and she will do all she can to make sure you win your war! Thank you Julia for going to war with me!

It's hard enough to navigate through all the complex issues and procedures for custody modifications. Julia is highly proficient with the legal issues and procedures. She is also terrific with strategies to aid the process. Julia is top notch in all of the above. What was even more impressive is that Julia cares about the people and issues in each case. Some attorneys are clinical or mechanical about clients, but it's obvious that Julia isn't just going through the motions. That's refreshing and it really helps knowing that your counsel is as passionate about your issues as you are. Family court can also be a difficult place for father's. It sometimes feels like the deck is stacked against dads. Julia definitely leveled the playing field and I'm more than happy with the results. I highly recommend Julia Bancroft and would definitely hire her again.

Julia Bancroft represented by husband and I on a child support modification case for his daughter. Throughout the process of several months, she was diligent and persistent regarding our complicated case. She worked tirelessly to make sure she had all of the facts to present to the judge during the temporary orders hearing and did not give up when faced with any obstacle. She is dependable, and continued to stay in touch with us and keep us informed when necessary. Our case success was dependent on her ability to work through complex issues and make sure the truthful information was shared with the judge. We would recommend her for any case without hesitation. She truly is a blessing as a person and lawyer.

Julia represented my daughter in a complex situation dealing with child support/custody case against the father of their infant daughter and against CPS. She entered into the case after several very experienced lawyers representing other parties had already made a mess of the situation. Julia quickly got a grasp on the status of the legal mess created by others and moved it toward the best possible outcome for my daughter and granddaughter. There are several things that impress me about the way Julia handled things. While she was polished and professional at all times, she was also brutal and very smart in negotiating with the opposing side. She knows her way around the court house and how to leverage her extensive contacts and experience to the advantage of my daughter's case. It was clear to me that Julia knew the law and procedures better than opposing counsel and was always one step ahead of them. While she was excellent dealing with the legal aspects of the cases, Julia was equally skilled in helping my young and inexperienced daughter through the process. She explained the legal issues clearly, provided forward looking advice all along the way, and offered motherly, compassionate encouragement to my daughter that continues to help her become a great young mother herself. From the beginning, Julia maintained a great working relationship with us and skated the ethical edge of representing my daughter knowing that I was paying the bills. I appreciate the extra effort she made to represent her interests fully and to be mindful that I do not have unlimited financial resources. I am not a big fan of lawyers in general and divorce lawyers in specific. I can say that Julia represents the best the legal profession has to offer in family law expertise.

Julia helped our son in placing our grandson to his custody. She took our case after careful study. I can not say enough about her professionalism and her caring attitude. We felt as those she was family. She truly loves what she does with a love and passion beyond measure. We always felt as though our case was the most important case she had. If you truly have a legitimate case you will be so glad to have her on your side. Was an honor working with her . Her diligence won our case.

I am single mom and our son has special needs, she helped me so much. My Ex is in denial of our son's needs and is not a nice man. Her support during this ordeal is priceless. I will hirer her again.

Deciding to divorce my husband was one of the most difficult life-changing decisions I have ever had to make but choosing Julia Bancroft to Assist me through this process was BRILLIANT!!!!!! Julia's kind-hearted spirit immediately put me at ease and made this entire process a lot less painful, therefore, making the discussions about my life-changing decision much easier to accept. Julia's excellent "eye for detail", coupled with her deep commitment to honesty and fairness throughout this emotionally draining process helped me feel secure and confident. . I am very grateful to have had Julia on my side......as a lawyer and my friend! Job well done Julia, you are truly a Credit to your profession and a real BLESSING FOR ME!......THANKS!
