Julia Marie Purchase

It's been sad to witness the court "expert" writing a report based on bias, mother's poor acting skills and hearsay rather evidence provided in the statement of fact (parenting app messages, emails, summarized by 2 attorneys who characterized it as extremely high conflict, yet Ms. Purchase character...ized it as "different style of communication", for example dismissing mother' s verbal threat "you do not want to make the enemy out of me". Third parties' testimonies were dismissed including PHD Psychologist who was a personal therapist of the mother for over 10 years, who addressed parental manipulation on mother's side. The report contained Ms. Purchase's personal judgement containing defamatory statements at the stepmother upon unverified allegations and without interviewing her. As CFI she completed only 1 CLE hour on Alienation, fundamentally inadequate to review high conflict dynamics and manipulation of children, overlooking patterns provided by the father's statement of fact. (F.e. father showed screenshots of the mother sharing co-parenting messages to his son that were negative of the father) that CFi referred to "father claims" in her report versus father demonstrated evidence of. While CFI completed 10-hour course on child abuse, the training obviously did not help her evaluate and recognize emotional manipulation and emotional abuse (involving children in high conflict adult matters, f.e. children repetitively using adult language used by the mother as demonstratedfather in the father's evidence) and coercive control that the father explicitly raised with documented evidence. The CFI recommendations dismissed recommendations of the teachers as well that supported father's side. The report failed to meet due diligence (didn't demonstrate a single evidence provided by the father's written summary of evidence) and relied inappropriately on mother's false accusations failing to analyze the possibility of the mother's pursuit for child support, and the children being used as instruments for parental manipulation. The CFI failed to recognize parallel parenting model necessity despite documented evidence of the high conflict from the mother's side, which is designed to shield vulnerable kids from parental conflict, thus undermined the primary goal of investigation, the best interest of the child, not the mother's financial gain.

I would not recommend Julia, I felt the responsibility of her caring and putting her job duties and priorities into the case was simply absent. I am not sure if here personal issues at home played role of me feeling like she was absent from my case. I would not recommend her based off of her performa...nce, lack of understanding my case and the disregard to evidence. I am very disappointed with the service I received.

Julia is a wonderful person, experienced negotiator, respectful and professional; able to make things right and fair. I was miracle, I didn't believe my husband could move an inch! If I start divorce process from the begging, I would skip lawyers and go directly to her office. She is definitely the... one who prevented the trial and saved me and my son substantial amount of money.

Julia helped me through a difficult divorce with a high conflict individual and her aggressive attorney. She always remained calm, and gave me good advice and offered helpful solutions to resolve issues. I would highly recommend her for anyone going through a divorce or separation, she truly has not... only her clients but the whole family's best interest in mind.

Julie has handled divorce, family law for me since I first went through divorce over five years ago. She is knowledgable, honest and professional! I appreciate that she strived hard to find the best solution for me and my family. She works with me, listens to what the issues are, and fights for a ...resolution. I appreciate that she cares about her clients and takes the time to research and give the best advice possible. I most appreciate her candor! Julie is great, I highly recommend her.
