Julie Willoughby's Lawyer Endorsements
"Julie and I have worked as opposing counsel when I was the prosecuting attorney for the City and Borough of Sitka. Julie was extremely professional while defending her client and got a good result because of her professionalism and knowledge of the law."
"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. I first came to know Julie when she was the prosecutor in Sitka. Since leaving that post, she has handled criminal defense matters all over Southeast Alaska, in both state and federal courts. I have always found her to be diligent in representing her clients. She is smart, articulate and a convincing advocate. If one of my sons or I got in trouble with the law, I would do my best to hire Julie."
"Julie Willoughby is well known to be one of the top criminal defense attorneys in Alaska. I got to know her when she was a district attorney in Sitka. She is very intelligent, witty and engaging, with a track record of success in the most difficult cases. I routinely refer criminal clients to her."
