Julie Drazen Stankowski

Julie came as a referral from my mom after I pulled my hair out trying to figure out how to file my divorce and deal with my ex-husband at the same time. My ex-husband was an unpredictable petty person that had me worried about the entire divorce process. I knew he was going to do everything he could... to make things more miserable and costly for myself. The first time I spoke with Julie I knew I needed her in my corner. She literally put my mind and heart at ease! She gave me hope and a sense of protection. Over the entire divorce period Julie and her team always kept me informed of the work they were doing, the next steps and what to expect. If I called, she answered. If I emailed or texted, she responded almost immediately. She ALWAYS made me feel like my case was her number one priority, but also that she cared about how I was doing. When it came to battling out the settlement process she was definitely a bulldog and my champion. She always listened to what I wanted, got me what I needed and EXCEEDED every expectation out there. Thank you Julie and Team!

When my ex-wife filed for divorce I was blindsided. Through a family member I was referred to Julie. Upon our first meeting she did her best Robin Williams impression from Goodwill Hunting and assured me "It's not your fault, It's not your fault." I think at that moment she sensed I needed a thera...pist more than a lawyer. Shortly thereafter she shifted into lawyer mode. She guided me effortlessly through a tumultuous period in my life shifting concurrently between being a lawyer and friend. She never lost sight of the big picture and made sure the checklist of legal items were taken care of along the way. But more importantly she always realized there was a human element at stake. I wasn't just some hour glass with the sand serving as the metaphor for her time on the clock. She is an astute Family Lawyer with a great command that all encompasses her profession. She is passionate and cares deeply about her clients. She knows when to be tough and when to pull up on the pedal. I highly recommend her.

I called Julie and from the first phone call I knew she was the one we needed! We needed a bulldog with a heart which is what we got! We had a huge uphill battle with false allegations of child molestation and abuse. Julie believed in us worked beyond anything we could have ever hoped for and prov...ed they were al lies. I can not give enough praise to the professionalism, quality of work and the heart and soul Julie put into our case. We went from a possible jail sentence to 50/50 custody! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for us!
