As a practicing family law attorney in both New Jersey and New York, Julie is particularly well-positioned to assist individuals whose personal, professional, or financial lives overlap these jurisdictions.

Julie earned her Juris Doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law, where she interned with the Essex-Newark Legal Services Family Law Unit and served as a student attorney in Seton Hall’s Center for Social Justice Family Law Clinic. Through these opportunities, she gained valuable hands-on experience advocating for individuals facing complex family law challenges while developing the compassionate, client-centered approach that defines her practice.
Following graduation, Julie clerked for the Honorable Marcia L. Silva, J.S.C. (Ret.), in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, Family Part. Her clerkship provided a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on judicial decision-making, courtroom procedure, and the factors that influence family court outcomes – insights that continue to benefit her clients today.
