Proactive, Prompt and Thorough

I engaged Julie for an urgent family matter based on the recommendation from a friend. She was quick to respond, on the case, so to speak, and thorough in her work. She worked the weekend to assist us, did her homework and best of all offered proactive advice, things we can do as the next steps. I wo...uld highly recommend Julie. She was professional, on it, very knowledgable, and compassionate with great bedside manner. While we were in a crisis, she helped us navigate it while also thinking ahead for us. That's a great advocate.

Compassionat and Intelligent

I was referred to Julie by another lawyer who I have very high respect for, to deal with a specific question related to SSDI benefits and eligibility. Julie took extra time to understand the complications of my situation and paraphrased the essence of my dilemma before proceeding to give advice. I ...was impressed with her skills at listening and understanding. Her advice was solid and right on point. I highly recommend her, based on my experience.

Social Security Issue

Consulted with Ms. Sommer regarding eligibility requirements for benefits. She was very professional and helpful in guiding me to an appropriate decision.

Caring, intelligent attorney

I had a fairly straightforward question and was fully prepared to pay full fee for a legal answer. Ms. Sommer did not charge me--perhaps because it was an easy question, perhaps because of my financial state, perhaps just because she is a caring individual. I see that she devotes volunteer time to ...an important organization in Seattle and so believe her to be compassionate. She invited me to call again should other questions arise.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
