Attorney who is caring and reliable

Mrs. Bancroft helped us with my daughter's child support issues. She is just not an attorney but also a very compassionate, caring and reliable individual who is there to answer your questions and to guide you every step of the way. We can't thank her enough for all the help and guidance. If you are ...looking for a family lawyer, Julia Bancroft should be on top of your list.

Best Family Law Attorney

I cannot say enough good things about Julia Bancroft and her team. From our initial conversation, I felt at ease. Julia has been very patient, caring, available, professional and truly cares for her clients. After working with attorneys for nearly 20 years, I can truly say that she is one worth hi...ring. I will always be sure to refer her to my friends, family & colleagues. You won't be disappointed with Julia Bancroft!

Fantastic, Compassionate Lawyer

Julia represented me on a child custody case and she went above and beyond anything I could have imagined, even traveling to a court outside of her normal area. Julia is very thorough and detail oriented and was always on top of everything. Sometimes I felt like I was her only client because she was ...so aware of all of the minute details that happened along the way. The case dragged on for a while (like all family cases do), but she was always giving me pep talks and keeping me from losing my faith. In the end, I got the custody of my kids and the conditions were way more than I expected to get and it was all due to Julia’s focus and determination to make sure my kids got what they deserved and not to settle for less. I can’t recommend Julia enough and I know without her, my kids would not be enjoying the life they have now.

The Best Attorney

My husband filed the divorce, and I was devastated and lost. I started look for the attorney and when I met Julia Bancroft at my first consultation, I immediately realized, she is only one I can trust and go with. Julia explained me all my rights in a very professional and confident manner. From tha...t first day and to the final day I always had a feeling that I am protected, and my case would be finalized in the best way. My divorce process was at the time complicated with COVID19 and my unexpected laid off situation. It was my “Perfect storm”, but Julia reacted on the changed circumstances immediately. She was always staying in touch with me, gave me the best advices and was able to finalize my divorce in a best manner. Julia Bancroft is an amazing professional and wonderful person – honest, kind, very smart and humane. I have a feeling that she is not only my attorney but a good friend. I will always remember her with a great gratitude.
