She/Her/Hers - Bisexual Female
Julie is a Louisville native, born and raised. She knew from a young age that she wanted to serve her community. During undergraduate studies at Bellarmine University, Julie fell in love with the law. She was enamored with the potential attorneys have to change the world for the better. After graduating law school, Julie accepted a position as a Family Court Staff Attorney to Judge A. Christine Ward, because she believed it was the best way to serve Kentucky families. Today, Julie still serves the Court by acting as appointed Friend of Court and Guardian Ad Litem in the Family Law Courts. However, Julie believes the best way to help the community is by serving the people of Kentucky directly.
Julie is a survivor of partner violence. She knows firsthand the struggles many of her clients face, which makes her a passionate advocate in the areas of Family Law and Domestic Violence. After years of fighting her own battle, Julie wants to help show Kentuckians of all ages and genders that they too can rise from the ashes.
