Her and her office were always there when I had questions, and very responsive. Julie worked several late nights for me and always got things done. I absolutely know I would not have won my case without her as my lawyer. If I ever need an attorney again, I will certainly be calling her back and I would recommend to all my friends and family. If you want strong legal advice and legal council, definitely go to Julie.

This review is long over due!…read more I have to begin by saying I can't express enough how grateful I am to Julie and her entire team for the guidance, support and advice that they provided to me throughout this incredibly horrible experience! They were more like family helping me along then a Law Firm that I had hired. Thanks to the advice given, and the unprecedented amount of hard work, my case went from hopeless to being dropped by the filing party. If I had not listened to the legal advice given along with the legal expertise of Julie and her team, that outcome would have never been possible and I would still not be able to see my son. I'll break this review into the three categories that I believe will be most helpful to anyone considering hiring Julie to represent them. ( Cost, Family Law Knowledge, and Ethics) Let's start with cost because I know that is the first thing that comes to mind when you are put into a situation that requires a lawyer. First and foremost Julie has very competitive rates for the caliber of services she and her team provide and more importantly, is completely transparent. Her and her staffs billing is exactly where you would hope it would be, with the simpler tasks all residing within the paralegals and the more complex issues being dealt with by the attorneys. The billing is also extremely clear down to the minute, so you know exactly what you are paying for. I never had to question a single charge or what I was being billed for. Second, is the qualification of her and her team's expertise. I couldn't have found a better attorney to represent me where the entire world "loosing my son" was resting upon it. Julie is a master at her craft and able to pivot in a moments notice. Another reviewer said " she is a bulldog in the courtroom that actually cares about her clients", I couldn't agree with that more!! Any attorney worth their salt will have a full client base as Julie always has, but the service Julie provides, you would think that you are her only client. She knows your case inside and out and will fight to get you what you want/deserve! Which I think is a perfect transition into Ethics. Julie and her team hold themselves to the highest of ethical standards! So if you want a firm that's going to screw your ex and in turn child/children out of what is truly the best for your child/children please look somewhere else! It wouldn't be fair to her or her team if I didn't try to sway those of you with that intent away from her time and services. They are the best, but their fight is for those who deserve it. Those moms and dads who are fighting for what is the best for their child/children and not their own vindictive selfish purposes

I went to court with them once and an old client of theirs came up to me in the court room and told me "I had them as lawyers but they took all my money and then dropped me and I don't know why so now I can't afford another lawyer." I just brushed his comment off but I now know why because it happened to me too. I was not going to say anything about Christina and her trainee Lauren at all until I found a really great lawyer who didn't nickel and dime me for every second on the phone or every email conversation and actually completed his job. Beware! Yes she offers a free consultation but charges you later. Trust me!

I would encourage prospective clients to clarify expectations around these areas in advance.

I didn't ultimately engage their services, but my experience was enough to give me pause and prompt…read moreme to share a few observations for others considering their representation. I contacted the firm regarding assistance with a Cease and Desist Letter and spoke with two team members, including a paralegal named Susanna. A few concerns arose during our conversation. First, although I had provided my personal phone number as the preferred contact, I received calls on my work line--raising questions about the firm's internal communication practices. Additionally, Susanna referred to another team member using feminine pronouns, even though the individual's name and vocal presentation suggested otherwise, which made me question whether roles were clearly defined within the team or if they are aware of who is doing what. Second, I was quoted a rate of $500 per hour for Stephanie's services but learned that the firm uses a free version of Zoom that restricts calls to 45 minutes. While I appreciate a preference for in-person meetings, this reliance on a limited virtual setup seems inconsistent with such premium rates. Additionally, I felt that my concerns were not fully heard during our discussion, as I was interrupted repeatedly while trying to share my observations regarding their firm. Although this might have been an off day for the team, it contributed to my overall impression that the firm's operational practices might not align with the cost involved. Ultimately, while the firm may very well produce excellent work under different circumstances, these factors led me to seek alternatives that better match my expectations for organization and professionalism. I hope this feedback helps others make a well-informed decision when selecting legal representation.
