She has been a family law attorney since 1999, representing her clients in complex cases, including equitable distribution, spousal and child support, child custody, visitation, relocation, and international family law cases.

Julie is known for her trial skills and while she is a zealous advocate within the courtroom, she strongly believes that most cases should be resolved outside the courtroom.
