Julie Drazen Stankowski

Julie Stankowski and her office did an outstanding job on my case. My case was quite difficult to say the least, but Julie made it happen. I needed a move away order with my 8 year old daughter which is extremely difficult in CA. Her and her office were always there when I had questions, and very re...sponsive. Julie worked several late nights for me and always got things done. I absolutely know I would not have won my case without her as my lawyer. If I ever need an attorney again, I will certainly be calling her back and I would recommend to all my friends and family. If you want strong legal advice and legal council, definitely go to Julie.

Simply writing this review cannot fully express the gratitude I have for Julie and her staff and how they have helped me with my divorce and child custody matters. Julie has guided me in making complicated decisions during an extremely difficult time. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is compa...ssionate and truly cares. It was obvious through her actions that she was honestly concerned about not only my well-being, but that of my children as well. She gave me the confidence I needed to make difficult decisions and fight for what was truly important. Regarding court hearings and filings, she has shown that she knows when to fight and when to let situations play out. I completely trust the advice and direction she gives. She has been (and continues to be) there for me through the whole process to provide expert guidance and support whenever needed. I am so thankful that I found Julie to help me through such a complicated and overwhelming process.

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.
