About Julianne
Biography
I want the best possible outcome for my clients and I work diligently, effectively, and honestly to get those results.
I passed the California State Bar Exam in 2012 and the Arizona State Bar Exam in 2013. I worked as an attorney for Higbee & Associates and a general practice law firm where I gained valuable experience in civil, criminal, and family law matters.
In 2017, I started my own firm centered on family law matters. I choose family law largely because of my love for children. My undergraduate degree is in psychology. I have six adult children; however, they ranged in age from 4-14 when I got divorced and went to law school in 2009. Because I was a single parent with six children, I had to redefine myself and find a way to finanically provide for my family. Having been divorced, with parents who also divorced, I have first hand knowledge of how difficult divorce can be, especially for children. I can remember with specificity going to the Pomona courthouse to have a conversation with a stranger about the parent that I wanted to live with and why.
I care deeply about children and families in crisis. Thus, a large part of my practice involves representing minor children in family law court. I have the privilege of interviewing clients, their families and collateral witnesses, reviewing documents, and drafting reports with recommendations for custody, visitation and co-parenting. I am often on the same cases for years due to the high conflict between the parents. My goal is to help families learn to resolve issues and make child centered decisions so the family can move forward equipped with the skills they need to stay out of court.
I take all cases related to family law, including divorces, parentage, and post judgment modifications that are litigated in front of a Judge. I have extensive trial experience but I only take important issues to trial. Most of my trial experience is in "Move Away" or abuse cases.
I certified as a mediator in 2012 and again in 2023. I have additional training in high conflict cases. These skills help me in every case, even when litigation is required. I love helping people come to out of court resolution whenever possible.
Prior to law school, I was a stay at home Mom and the Board President for Lakeview Academy Charter School in Saratoga Springs, Utah. The board supervised and hired all teachers and employees and governed the school of 700 children from its inception. Prior to having children, I loved being a preschool teacher.

"I have had my clients hire Ms. Vandergrift in many many cases to serve as minor's counsel for their matter. I always recommend her because she is no-nonsense and is always there to protect the minor's interests. She does interviews with multiple parties to ensure her recommendations are appropriate in those circumstances. Moreover, Ms. Vandergrift is always available for a quick chat to get an update on the case or when issues arise during a high conflict situation. There are times Ms. Vandergrift would refuse the parents' requests or demands after making her recommendation. From my perspective, this methodology is highly sought after since she is really looking out for the minor's interests instead of the fighting between the parents. We need more minor's counsels like her around. There are other minor's counsels around that would just recommend a 50/50 and watch for the consequences thereafter."
