Expert guidance through a difficult divorce

I hired Julie Christopher to represent me during my divorce after 22 years of marriage. The complexity of our assets and the emotional toll made finding the right attorney critical. Julie's 28 years of experience in family law, particularly her recognition in mediation by Best Lawyers, was immediately evident. She was a steady, knowledgeable presence who explained Maryland law clearly and helped me see past the immediate emotions to make sound long-term decisions. Her strategy during settlement negotiations was excellent, and she secured a fair outcome regarding our home and retirement accounts. While her expertise is undeniable, there were a few instances where email responses took longer than expected during non-urgent phases. Overall, her deep commitment to helping clients navigate these challenging transformations is genuine. I highly recommend her for anyone in the Rockville area facing a significant family law matter.
