I do not recommend working with the Pucci law team. I am extremely disturbed by how my case was handled and I would highly encourage you to look elsewhere if you want your case handled ethically and timely.

Divorce is never easy but Julia and her team made things as simple as possible. She helped me navigate custody with a difficult ex and guided me through the entire process. Highly recommend.

I would not recommend Julia Pucci to represent you in your divorce unless you have an unlimited supply of money to pay her until the end. My first meeting with her I look back on now and feel she looked over all my financial information and the circumstances of my case to assess whether she would get paid. I don't feel my interests were fought for or taken into account on any level. Once the money and potential for money were gone, so was she. I sat across from her in her fancy new office as she made mention of her hair salon side hustle at our first meeting and told me to take a Xanax at our second and only other in person meeting. I don't know much about being a lawyer, but I am a human being. Someone going through the stress and pain of a divorce doesn't care about your extra side business, FYI. But thanks for giving me an idea of why things have dragged and why MY needs weren't being met. They are fee generators, plain and simple. My experience with my divorce has been one of the hardest I've ever been through and my choice of her as my lawyer contributed to that. At about the year and 3 month mark I recv’d an email on July 3rd at 4:38pm with her 'Motion to Withdraw" from my case. She was uncertain of the risk vs. benefit reward of continuing to represent me stating a 'material breakdown of communication'. My balance was growing due to the outrageous length of time it was taking with no progress in getting me where I wanted to be. Divorced! By the time I recv’d this email it was well after they were gone to be with their families for the holiday weekend. I had no hope of discussing this with anyone until the following Monday, July 8th!!! It still shocks me anyone would do this to someone. Especially a law firm that claims to "treat each client as family'. No, that isn't how you treat family. I scraped together enough money to keep her on as my lawyer in July 2019 only to have the same thing happen 3 months later at the end of October 2019. I'm now STILL not divorced and sans lawyer as well. So please, you're going to come across their website & possibly get impressed with how it's presented. You're going to see pictures of a team of women who are posed to look confident and willing to fight for you. You're going to step foot in their office for the first time and notice the newness of everything, even the smell. (You'll be paying for it! Don't let if fool you!) You're going to sit across from them looking for help and answers. All they are going to do is look at you with dollar signs in their eyes while they pretend to care and 'treat you like family'. I needed compassion and understanding and I received none. I don't doubt they have many success stories, but they certainly failed me. I write this review to prevent what happened to me for over a year and half from happening to another person. I am now left to represent myself, get myself child support (after a year and half!), and finally get myself divorced. I walk away feeling used and taken advantage of. I've wasted time and thousands of dollars. It all comes down to money for this law firm. They quit on me when I needed them the most. Also, as a side note, if you've read other reviews as I have, you'll notice a constant reoccurring theme among Pucci and Pirtle's comments back to commenters. For example, "Family law proceedings are so emotionally charged and can be very stressful for all parties involved" and 'Family law proceedings can be highly emotionally charged and it is impossible to make everyone happy'. As well as on their website: The 'emotions' involved in divorce. The 'emotional toll' it takes. My reason for mentioning this is it's an easy way for them to put our dissatisfaction back on us for being emotional. Don't fall for that either! Of course we're emotional! My advice is to take a breath and try to clear your head. Research many lawyers. Seek out free legal advice wherever it's available. Ask friends.
I chose wrong. Very wrong. Don't do the same.

I did not feel comfortable working with this firm. I found Julia difficult to communicate with.

Julia Pucci has proven to be an excellent choice in my search for a caring and personable divorce attorney. While the process itself is daunting, Julia was very approachable and willing to explain what and why something was happening. She has an excellent grasp of the law, and her integrity is without question. With Julia's expertise and due diligence, she and her team have been able to assist me through a very difficult time. I feel fortunate to have had her as my attorney.

After reading reviews and meeting with Julia Pucci she gave me the impression she was going to help me with a very challenging divorce and custody dispute. Once Julia received her retainer from me of $3,500 she was not the same toward me. Anything she asked for I got to her within hours BUT when I had a question for her it was either unanswered or answered hours later in legal jargon that I had no idea what to make of it. I am very vulnerable at this point and I am beyond a loss for what I have experienced with Julia Pucci. On top of fighting for my kids, a bitter divorce, and being in an unfamiliar place, I was completely drained by this lawyer (financially and emotionally). Julia never sat down with me to explain a strategy. She did not get back to me yet billed me as if she spent hours replying to me. The times I did speak to her she acted as though she were disinterested or I was an inconvenience. Julia did the bare minimum in not only my opinion but my family and new council. My children were being alienated from me and Julia did nothing except have her receptionist demand another $3,500 from me or else she would not take my call OR meet with me. In desperation for her guidance, I paid and additional $3,500 to replenish my retainer. After she cashed the check she withdrew from my case within 1 week! Her reasoning for withdrawing from my case was because what I was telling her did not coincide with what my soon to be ex was telling her lawyer....well, no kidding?!
I was panicked because I had court a few days after I received her motion to withdraw. I appeared in court alone, nervous and unsure fo what to expect. When I was there I saw Julia and she would not even look my way. In court she did not say anything AT ALL on my behalf.
Aside from that, she wrote the wrong names on multiple court filed motions on my behalf. I have never been more disappointed in legal representation. I feel ripped off at the most vulnerable time of my life. Please reconsider and take my words to your heart before hiring this attorney to save yourself money, heartache and time!

I've heard countless stories of acquaintances being poorly or under represented during their divorce. This was not going to be me. I needed someone to lookout and fight for me and my 4 young children.
This is exactly what I got, while working with Julia Pucci. Julia was very knowledgeable of the laws. She was aggressive, when need be, yet maintains a empathetic bedside manner. Julia is not just a divorce attorney, she's a wife and mother...she get's it. When my whole world was turning upside down, Julia was my beacon of knowledge, expertise and common sense...explaining & guiding me each step of the way. I will continue to refer Julia Pucci to anyone in search of a divorce attorney.

Julia was an extremely professional and supportive attorney. She offered advice and counsel even before I hired her. She was fair and equitable with the terms and was in my corner the entire case. Divorces are very difficult, emotionally draining and ardous and she and her office supported me through the entire process. I recommend her with out any hesitation.
