Julie Ann Belt

I contracted with Julie in January of 2016, after a phone consultation in which she reviewed my case and was very confident of it's positive outcome. After my case was originally denied in June of 2016, I had her file an appeal. It took 18 months for the appeals hearing to be scheduled. During this t...ime Julie was very good at filing all paperwork and keeping me informed via email. She showed no interest in meeting me face to face and getting to know me. I felt this was important in developing strong testimony for the hearing with the ALJ (Administrative Law Judge). Instead, after two years and a few phone conversations and emails, we met for the first time a half hour prior to the start of the hearing in a side room at the court location. Having had very little court experience I was very nervous and didn't do well in the hearing. I feel very strongly I could've done better with more prep time with Julie. The ALJ denied my appeal and Julie sent me a letter to inform me. This after she said she would call with a decision. Her letter indicated she would not be willing to represent me should I choose to file a second appeal. I have no other experience with lawyers but the way she handled my case does not seem very professional and is NOT someone I'd recommend!
