Ms. Garwood and her staff handled my case in a professional and satisfactory manner. We attempted to settle out of court which was my desire, but opposing counsel was very unreasonable and showed very little flexibility. I was extremely pleased with Ms. Garwood's representation of my case in court and actually going to court resulted in a better outcome than I had anticipated. Her knowledge and guidance through this very difficult time along with the support of her staff was comforting. I feel confident that you can trust Ms. Garwood to handle your case with the upmost care and professionalism.

Julia Garwood and the entire staff of her firm provided excellent legal services in a timely and professional manner. They reviewed the facts as presented by me and opposing counsel. They made me aware of the law and previous decisions of the court as they related to my case. The firm worked with opposing counsel to resolve issues before going to court. They brought the case to a sucessful conclusion without me having to return to California.

I consulted this lawyer on a family law matter. She had a phone call with opposing counsel, bought into the story that attorney presented, and then she told me she couldn't help me and that I was probably going to lose custody of my child.
I went on to represent myself and won the case outright at virtually every turn. I was shocked that Julia would be so shallow as to assume what opposing counsel told her about the case was true, and she caused me a lot of stress by implying I had a weak case, which turned out not to be correct.

Julia Garwood brilliantly presented a complicated legal argument on my behalf at a Family Court hearing in such a convincing manner that we received a favorable ruling beyond our expectations. The ruling put me a good position for a case settlement that met my goals. She made a positive difference in the quality of life for me and my children.

My child and I have greatly benefited from Ms. Garwood’s thorough knowledge of family law in addition to her extensive experience. She is very reasonable and attempts to settle matters with opposing counsel out of the courtroom, which is always my first choice. However, when that is not a possibility and we do have to go to court I could not be happier that she is my attorney and not opposing counsel. She is a highly knowledgeable attorney and always well prepared in court, thus ensuring the best possible outcome for me and my family. I highly recommend Ms. Garwood.

I retained Julia to represent me in my divorce and am very thankful I did. She came highly recommended by my business attorney. Over the course of my divorce, there were times when I was frustrated by the process and the many emotional factors. But, Julia told me to stay the course, and do not react emotionally, and because of that good advise, , things have settled down and I feel that both my wife and I will be able to complete our divorce and begin to move forward with our lives. Julia’s office is dedicated, organized and hardworking. , the staff has been focussed on keeping my interest in mind as the first priority, and guiding me through this long and arduous process. I highly recommend this office. I trust Julia Garwood .

Julia Garwood and staff have represented me since 2006. I have had an extremely tough case and they have continued to represent me as if I was fresh and new. Not only do they handle my legal issues but are always there to answer my questions and lift my psyche. I have recommended this attorney firm several times and everyone has been happy with the representation. Julia has her own style and given our long relationship have learned to trust her technique. She has not failed me yet. As for answering GOOD in the knowledgeable section, this firm may not have all the answers when cases involve multiple areas of law but they never hesitate reach out to other experts to find the correct information. I have even been asked her name by other potential clients after seeing Julia argue our case in the court room. Julia will always fight her hardest for you.
