In the fall of 2022 I discovered that my husband of over 35 years was cheating. A knowledgeable friend recommended that I engage Ms. Woodmansee. She identified and hired a first-rate private investigator on my behalf. Between the PI's work and my own investigation, we turned up evidence of over a decade of marital, financial, and professional misdeeds. Ms. Woodmansee made sure that I was safe physically, financially, and legally. The separation agreement she secured preserved my assets and protected me from any liability for his debt, potential health care expenses, and legal and tax fraud. So many divorced women my age face financial disaster but, thanks to my attorney, I anticipate a comfortable retirement and old age. In addition to being whip-smart and very experienced, Ms. Woodmansee is warm and nurturing. I have joked that she (almost literally) held my hand throughout the ordeal. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I would highly recommend Julie Woodmansee. Julie quickly assessed my situation and continued to advocate for me throughout the entire process. She is empathetic, professional, and well-connected with resources and referrals. Knowledgeable and experienced, Julie worked diligently on my behalf, looking ahead and never missing details. Her office team is very organized, helpful, and friendly.

As any woman that all suddenly is faced with a separation and divorce after a 30 yr marriage, I was heartbroken and still reluctant to seek lawful representation when I first met with Julie. After 5 min of discussing with her, I felt at easy and confident that I have found the right lawyer. Julie clearly explained the whole process and guided me with great professionalism, care and kindness into a journey, which otherwise would have been torturous. Instead it resulted in a clever separation agreement, which had the best outcome for me and allowed me to transition into the next period of my life with dignity and financial security. I am most thankful to Julie, I feel so fortunate to have counted with her support, firm and strong representation.

Julie helped me with my separation and provided guidance in a professional and sincere manner. She made a difficult situation as easy as possible for me and my family.

Julie Woodmansee helped prepare my separation agreement. Despite my difficult circumstances, I had an excellent experience working with Julie who is incredibly responsive, compassionate, and truly listens to you. During my consultation, it was not easy to share the details about my situation, but Julie immediately got it and showed such understanding and kindness while also demonstrating knowledge about the law and honesty in answering all my questions. It was an incredibly stressful time and having Julie on my side was a huge reassurance. My experience with Julie (and Angie, her paralegal) was positive from day 1 and I would highly recommend her to others.

I have been an attorney for 35 years working as, and around, litigators. Julie did a terrific job handling my collaborative divorce, which was more complicated than usual because of issues relating to my retirement benefits. She was knowledgeable, and promptly and good naturedly responded to the many concerns I raised during the process. She kept the process moving when it threatened to stall. Not only does she have an expert grasp of the law in this area, but she has a special personality that allowed her to be assertive and charming at the same time. There was no unnecessary friction. As I noted above, I am long-time attorney, but divorce was not an area I knew anything about and, of course, the stress is different when you are the client. It was very comforting to have someone of Julie's caliber representing me. I recommend her without reservation.

I contacted Julie Woodmansee on the advice of a friend when I was confronted with legal issues during the breakup of a longterm relationship. She was compassionate, competent and acted with integrity as she guided me through difficult negotiations. Billing was appropriate and fair. I highly recommend her as an attorney, I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Julie Woodmansee was highly recommended by a friend at an acutely painful time in my life and long marriage. Beginning with our first conversation, I felt that I was in the hands of a skilled professional who would advocate for my interests. My settlement turned out to be far more time-consuming and expensive than anticipated, but Julie was encouraging and supportive throughout. I feel that the outcome was fair and to my greatest possible benefit, thanks to Julie. I am deeply grateful and deeply fond of Julie Woodmansee.

I was referred to Julie by another lawyer and feel very satisfied with the work she did to settle my divorce. She was realistic and straight-forward, even if it was not always what I wanted to hear. I felt I could always reach her or her staff with questions . I felt at times the process wore on, but in retrospect, it was her expertise that prevailed and I came to understand that she knew from the start how to use our advantages and the work it would require. It was refreshing to work with a lawyer who prioritized negotiation and was skillful at that process.

Julie Woodmansee provides excellent professional counsel and is a compassionate woman who is skilled in breaking down complex legal issues related to divorce, child custody and family law in North Carolina. She and her staff have always been attentive to my requests, take the time to listen to and evaluate any concerns I have related to my case, and respond quickly and thoroughly. I trust Julie implicitly to provide relevant and timely guidance on any issue that I have questions on. I have worked with Ms. Woodmansee for 15 months and all of my needs have been addressed in the most impressive way. I recommend Julie Woodmansee without reservation for any family law services one might need.

Extremely dedicated. Truly listens to the important issues at stake so that the process does not become bigger than it needs to be. Very knowledgeable and professional.

My experience with Julie Woodmansee was stellar. She made the separation and divorce process transparent, understandable and and emotionally manageable. Her counsel was direct and clear. Her professional manner is exceptional. She keeps the process calm and workable. In what can be one of the most difficult experiences that one can encounter in life she keeps things on track and grounded so that the client can make reasonable, sound, and effective decisions. She is the consummate advocate of a mediated approach to domestic law and works tirelessly to advocate for her client in a calm and reasoned way with the other side. Our negotiations with the opposition were direct, well researched and wasted no time getting to a settlement. Julie exhibits the highest levels of professional ethics, and makes one of the worst processes one can experience more painless I could have imagined. I can without reservation recommend Julie Woodmansee as one of the best family practice attorneys in this area.
