The Best Family Law Attorney

I can't say enough good about Julie. Not only is she a top-notch attorney who can guide you through a challenging and frustrating legal process, but she also exemplifies high levels of integrity, patience, and emotional intelligence. I've worked with and interviewed other attorneys and feel that many... in the industry significantly lack these latter attributes. My case spanned not just the divorce itself but also years of post-divorce custody battles. Julie was there for me every step of the way. She listens and collaborates, a quality that is rare among family law attorneys. Julie knows when to be patient, when to negotiate, and when to adopt a bulldog stance. She has a deep understanding of the legal bureaucracy and the expertise to navigate it. A divorce and custody battle will inevitably be a highly emotional and turbulent journey. However, I have absolutely no regrets about hiring Julie to represent me.

Very happy

I have personally worked with and met many family law attorneys in Orange County. Of all these, Julie is one of the best and I would highly recommend her. She is very bright, insightful and always pragmatic. She is as willing to give advice as she is ready to roll up her sleeves and get to work. I ...think what I appreciate most about her is her candor. She quickly (almost instinctively) drills down to the essence of your case or problem and then offers different solutions that might best address the situation. She is the consummate professional. I truly appreciate her help.

Great feeling after talking to Ms. Flanagan.

After looking through information on avvo, yelp, google and business websites for a family lawyer, Ms Flanagan seemed one of the better family lawyers to contact in my area (Orange County). I emailed her some questions about the cost and process of doing a post-nup and got a prompt and clear response.... We then talked on the phone, and we discussed my situation in more detail. She suggested that for my circumstances creating a post-nup might not be worth it, but if had additional questions I could reach out to her for advice. I felt Ms. Flanagan gave me some good information, kind attention and advice w/o charging me. Based on this I would use her services and recommend her as a professional that is not all about the money. Thankyou R.S.

Best Advocate for You

I engaged Julie's services after she was recommended to me by another highly respected attorney in the same field. I needed representation and after speaking with her I knew Julie was best Attorney for me. She listened to my needs & explained how the system worked. After I retained her, Julie saw... that everything was taken care of the way I had asked for. I would work with her again if I needed similar services in the future and would Highly Recommend her to anyone, anytime! I could only give her 5 stars, because they don't have 6!!

Guardianship

I needed help in retaining help from Julie in petitioning the courts for guardianship of my grandson. The court was asking me for documents that I needed to complete for the case to be heard in court. Julie took care of getting everything that the court was requesting. She submitted all completed doc...uments to the court on my behalf. When my case was presented in court on the day of my hearing, the judge had all the signed documents that the court had requested and my petition was granted with no hesitation. If it were not for her expertise, my case would not of been granted so quickly. She dedicated her time 100% to me
