Julie A. Ketterman

Ms. Ketterman is strict in her guidelines for representation and she makes it clear that if you don’t follow them then she is not the attorney for you. She is difficult to reach, but her staff is always available. I would hire her again and again, not easy to talk to, but I need an attorney not fri...end or babysitter!

After observing this attorney throughout a 7 day trial, I gladly recommend her! You need an attorney that is able to be FULLY present in a courtroom. Attorney Ketterman will navigate the details that have been put in place, are continuously arising, then put into motion a strategy like a finely... tuned instrument. I would recommend this attorney to anyone in a high conflict custody situation or in need of a results oriented litigation with challenging factors.

My husband and I hired Julie Ketterman in Fall 2015 to represent us in seeking custody of our granddaughter. Before paying the $5000 retainer, we were assured that the time sensitive manner of our case would be a top priority and receive her firm's full attention. After paying the retainer, we would ...only hear from her two times despite countless attempts on our part to obtain information on the progress of the case. When we first approached Julie, our daughter (the mother of our newborn granddaughter) was in a rehabilitation clinic and set to be released the following week. We expressed the importance of achieving communication with her prior to her release from the clinic. Julie assured us that she could accomplish this despite the visitation restrictions at the clinic. She never spoke or met with our daughter and did not contact us until the following week to say her phone calls had not been returned (although she had promised to drive to the clinic in person), but that she was still optimistic with our case and would contact us soon with more information. After several weeks of unanswered emails and phone calls trying to figure out what the next steps would be, a paralegal at the firm called and explained he was taking over the case. He apologized and said that he was taking over after several other paralegals were relieved from their positions, but that he would make sure the case received appropriate attention moving forward. Again, we were assured we were a top priority and that we would be updated on any and all future progress. We heard from him again the following day, confirming he was pulling the details of the case together, but communication after this point also stopped. We contacted the firm several more times to no avail before firing Julie Ketterman and losing the $5000 retainer. The very painful and exhausting process of seeking custody of our granddaughter was unfortunately only worsened by the unprofessional and unethical hiring of Ketterman's firm. I can only hope that this account will spare others from the frustration and disappointment experienced by my family.

Julie Ketterman has bad reviews, when asked about them before I hired her she said it was because the client did not do what she said. However, I hired her anyway and everything written in the bad reviews are TRUE. She does not return phone calls, or emails. She did not tell me about court dates beca...use she was busy in trial. People are desperate too find a good CPS lawyer and due to her advertisements we are fooled. She did NOT do one thing for me. I was only trying to get unsupervised visits with my grandchildren. It drug out now 9 months and NOTHING. She should be ashamed of her self. Do not believe the BS she tells you. Please. It is not worth the added heartbreak she will cause you. BEWARE.
