Outstanding attorney

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.

A heart of gold, a bulldog and a lifesaver!!!

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!

100% Satisfaction

I hired Julie to help me alter my child custody and support order when my ex-husband moved away and could no-longer fulfill his 50% obligation to custody, unfortunately still leaving me with my support obligation. My ex was very combative about changing the court order 'legally' so Julie stepped in ...to help. She was not only able to get me everything I asked for, but she made 'nice' with my ex, and HE was thanking both her and I at the end! Miraculous. Besides the results which speak volumes, Julie is very personable and easy to work with. She is always available and there is nothing pretentious about Julie or her staff. A very pleasant piece of an unpleasant situation.

The absolute best!

Julie is the absolute best and a life saver. I am a young mom and was freaking out about my ex in-laws trying to get custody of my daughter using "grandparent rights." I was referred to Julie and she took my call and made me feel calmer right away. She was always quick to respond and she made time to... handle my issues. She was even texting with me at 11:00 at night on multiple occasions. I literally feel like she saved my sanity and helped me get my life in a better place.~T.H. Client

Awesome Lawyer!

"Julie is an awesome lawyer! I didn't know what to do about my divorce. I was so overwhelmed. I needed someone who would take control and really stand up to my ex and her attorney. Julie was referred to me and she had my back from start to finish. She was there for me in every way and at all hours. S...he always answered my calls and emails and I always felt like she was on top of it. I'm finally free to move on with my life. Thank you, Julie! You are the bulldog attorney I wanted and I would definitely recommend you to my friends! ~G.Z. Client

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
