The Epitome of Exellence

I worked with Julie over the course of almost three years to establish a complicated post nuptial agreement and ultimately through a complicated divorce after a long term marriage. As a highly compensated man living in WA State my financial risks were significant. Julie expertly guided me through a d...ifficult legal case and through a difficult emotional time and had the courage to give me honest, direct, candid counsel when I was allowing my emotions to overrule my logic and intelligence. Julie's attention to detail was astounding at times remembering details of the timeline and scenario that I had long forgotten. Her courtroom presence projects competence, calmness without being adversarial in demeanor but trust me if you want an attorney to take your case personally and represent your interests with passion and commitment, hire Julie. I have referred many of my clients to Julie for a variety of legal issues and all have been pleased with her representation.

Simply the best

As a a lawyer and a client, I can honestly say Julie is the best in her business. I have had experience with domestic lawyers in many states, Julie Caputo sets the standard. Her strategy, professionalism and trial skills are superior. If you need a domestic lawyer, you need Julie Caputo. She has neve...r lost in our case and is immediately responsive. She works tirelessly and communicates clearly. She is a full service law firm in one. There is no other lawyer I would want representing me or my family.

Great Family Law Attorney: Julie Caputo

I engaged Julie to handle my out of state relocation custody case. It was an emotional, roller coaster of a case and Julie handled both the emotional part (me!), as well as the complex legality surrounding such a case with such professionalism, but yet with a "human" touch. Julie did a great job... in easing my anxiety while making sure she told me the pros/cons of each step in the process. I always felt like she was telling me the truth even when it was difficult to hear, but followed up with "now here are my recommendations on what to do....." I cannot recommend Julie enough if you are in need of a strong domestic/family law attorney. Her deep legal knowledge, timely responsiveness, and engaging demeanor are rarity in the world of domestic law from my experience.

Professional and Extremely Effective Family Law Practitioner

I hired Julie to represent me and protect my parental rights during an extremely difficult time. For several months, my 6 year old son's mother preventing me from having any contact with my boy, and then kicked me in the ribs yet again when she petitioned the state to revoke my parental rights so s...he could set up her new boyfriend-du-jour as my son's 'Daddy'. Julie was extremely well regarded by the Family Law community she previously practiced with in Colorado, and she not only helped me understand the process and guided me through the family law maze, she also advocated for me and my paternal rights while keeping me well informed through the entire process. Her eloquence and formidable inside-and-out knowledge of family law statutes repeatedly left me awestruck. After several months waiting for court dates and the other party, we succeeded in not only protecting my parental rights, but also drafted a fair but enforceable parenting time plan that protects my son and I's relationship against any future 'gatekeeping' his mother might attempt. Hiring Julie was one of the best investments I've ever made, and I thank her for every opportunity I've had to share with my son since we won our case. For every summer hiking trip, museum exploration, dinner-and-a-movie night, and every dinosaur book; thank you Julie!
