Probate and Property Deed Clean-up

Julia is an extraordinary Attorney. I went through 3 other attorneys trying to clear up a deed and finally needed a probate attorney. Julia was the best thing that has happened to me regarding my property issues. She whizzed through the probate and was able to assist in clearing up the deed for my... property. She is extremely knowledgeable, she listens carefully and simplifies the process and communicates the issues carefully and in an uncomplicated manner. Julia responds to any questions and problems extremely quickly and just get things done. I couldn't imagine any attorney doing a better job and would recommend Julia as one of the best, the very best in her field of expertise.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
