Julie Sugano O'Reilly is a family law attorney with experience in dissolutions, child support modifications, parenting plan modifications, relocation, committed intimate relationships, minor guardianship, de facto parenting, domestic violence protection orders, and complex family law matters.
Prior to entering private practice, Julie practiced in Oregon, representing low-income clients. She understands that the legal system can be daunting but should be accessible and understandable. Julie emphasizes the importance of making this process understandable to her clients.
While working with Julie, you will often hear, "cross that bridge when you come to it," because decisions should be made when there is the most information available. Should the need for litigation arise, Julie is a confident and ethical advocate who seeks sensible and long-lasting resolutions.
With training in trauma-informed-care and experience working with domestic violence survivors, Julie understands that there are many emotions that may arise throughout the legal process, and that is okay. Her purpose is to inform, advise, and advocate, so that clients can make the best decisions for themselves.
Julie Sugano O'Reilly holds her B.A. in Global Studies and her J.D. from Lewis & Clark Law School. She was the Managing Editor for Lewis & Clark Law's Environmental Law Review, and a member of the Jessup Moot Court Team to which she now volunteers her time as a moot court judge.

Highly Recomment
Julie and her team helped me through the worst time in my life. Separating from an abusive x, they not only helped me get majority custody of my child, but also got the court to order a domestic violence evaluation. I had zero experience with the legal system and was terrified after being manipulated...

Not represented well
Do not use Julie or this team for Child custody law. She is intelligent, but ultimately Julie could not execute where it mattered most in my case to protect my children. Response times were missed at critical moments that turned into owing thousands more than I have. A response was completely missed,...
While we always appreciate critical reviews so we can learn and improve, this review is not accurate. This review comes six (6) months after our withdrawal and two (2) months after having a negative outcome in court. Most importantly, no response was missed. We withdrew from this Client's case on September 18th, effective on September 28th. According to the docket, at the time of first contempt hearing on November 14th, we had already been withdrawn from his case for six (6) weeks. At the time of the second contempt hearing, we had been withdrawn for nearly four (4) months. This Client was representing himself for the Contempt hearings which resulted in him owing fees and which occurred well after representation ended. If a Response was missed, this Client failed to file it himself, not this office. Financial wise, we do not give "final" amounts to anyone and this client was repeatedly informed that his case would be expensive given the complications and added motions. Additionally, the Client was notified work still accumulates during the Notice of Intent to Withdraw period in order to keep a client apprised of what is happening in their case. Lastly, there is still an unpaid outstanding balance.
"Julie is a diligent attorney who comprehends the intricacies of Family Law. She aims to resolve cases with minimal conflict but will litigate when necessary. I have worked with Julie at a prior law firm and found her to be compassionate. She is a colleague I would happily refer cases to."
"I endorse this lawyer. Julie is driven, passionate and kind with broad experience in many different fields of law. I highly recommend her!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Julie is a smart and capable family law attorney. I would not hesitate to recommend her work."
