Julia E. Mills, Attorney At LAW

I am incredibly disappointed in the services we received for my son's custody case. During the investigation, Julia's team failed on multiple occasions to keep or schedule interviews with all of my advocates. Of the few character witnesses they did reach out to, only 2 successfully spoke to her and they had to constantly check in with her assistant Megan to ensure those appointments would happen. I had multiple professionals who reached out to her team several times to schedule who were ultimately ignored. Many of my witnesses responded quickly to her interview requests and never heard back. Two had appointments scheduled and she never called. Meanwhile my now ex husband's girlfriend was more than heard and rang up quite a bill on our tab communicating with her office. After running up over $7,000 between my ex and I, with multiple witnesses bearing testament to my exes vindictive and abusive behavior, Julia's recommendation was simply that we split custody 50/50 and learn to coparent. My ex has now taken FULL advantage of this situation and I am struggling to see my son during my scheduled times. I am openly ridiculed in front of my son by my ex, and he has failed to keep the desperately needed tutoring for my son her swore to Julia he was committed toward achieving. I do not feel as if my son or I ever stood a chance. My son begs me repeatedly to stay at my home and I must return him to his father under constant threat of police by my ex. To say I am upset is an understatement.

I’ve used Julia Mills-Mettry for family law over the past few years, and she is the most detailed, organized, and thorough attorney. Unfortunately, I had a different attorney for my divorce, but met Julia just after for continued family law and financial issues, and she took care of things for me. She is highly responsive and engaged no matter how many other things she might have going on, but most importantly, she shows that she cares about her clients’ personal situations. I felt so much more secure having her “in my corner” over the past few years as I had to navigate difficult post-divorce situations, because I knew she would take care of me and my child the way she would want to care for her own family. She also has essential, solid professional working and trust relationships with other attorneys and judges, which make a huge difference in final outcomes for clients. Julia and her colleagues are the best, and no matter what situations life might bring for me or my family members, she is the only attorney I recommend. I cannot thank her enough.

Negative 10 was not available. I would not suggest this law firm. I thought it would be good since it was locally owned by women, and on a smaller scale size. I assumed they would be more involved with their client. When I spoke to Josh Simpson he said all the right things and promised to fight for me if I hired him. However, that is not what happened. I had to do all the leg work. He never kept me in the loop, he took weeks on returning my calls and everything was time sensitive. This involved the death of my father 6 states away so it was very frustrating to get everything moving in the right direction without his help. It went on for almost 7 months like that. My husband pulled the owner into the situation and she even said that the case should have only taken 2 to 3 months maximum, but nothing got better. Now it's been 8 months and still no word. I am not sure why the company keeps a person like that unless this is normal for the company. Luckily I am not out thousands but I am out a lot of money, time, and frustrating. Do yourself a favor and do research on the company and lawyer before hiring them.

Well, I did use Julia to represent my two daughters (I have the invoices and court documentation to prove it), and she was completely unhelpful and I almost feel like she sided with my ex-husband. It was never easy or simple to set up an appointment for her to meet with my daughters, even via zoom meetings. There was abuse of my youngest by her father (my ex-husband) and nothing was done about that. Everything seemed to just drag on forever since Julia didn't want seem to really move things along. I honestly felt like it was a matter of how much money could be earned by Julia. If she is suggested to you to use for your children, DO NOT!!! I promise you will only regret it. I would give zero stars if that were an option. All she helped with was destroying any faith I have in our legal system, which was already broken to begin with.

Cindy represented me in my child custody hearing. It was over and done in a month with the ruling being in my favor. I will forever be greatful for her and helping me get custody of my daughter.
