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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604ce01778231847fc0e6173/92d797d2-af7c-4afe-80f6-b3c066de54f3/IMG_0009.jpg Julie Reczek, Partner - Education. duPont Manual High School Bellarmine University, Magna Cum Laude University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law, Cum Laude Executive Editor, Journal for Animal & Environmental Law Professional Affiliations.

He quickly fell in love with the city and its people. Ethan has since made Louisville his home with his husband, Taylor, and their two dogs, Theo and Frida. One core principle has guided his career: the belief that through hard work and public service, legal skills can be leveraged to make a difference in the community and across the Commonwealth. In service of this principle, his experience spans a state-wide law firm, where he represented both plaintiffs and defendants in contract disputes and personal injury claims, and The Legal Aid Society, where he represented more than four hundred clients in family law matters. Additionally, he worked as a staff attorney to Justice Debra H. Lambert at the Kentucky Supreme Court, handling family law, criminal, contract, and other appellate cases. Currently, he gives back to the community by serving the Jefferson County Courts as a Guardian ad litem and Friend of the Court. His professional and personal passions translate directly from that core principle. Ethan volunteers time and resources to Kentucky-based non-profits, such as the Kentucky Youth Law Project, where he serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. As a member of the National LGBT+ Bar Association and Family Law Institutes, he collaborates with attorneys nationwide on issues including family creation through assisted reproductive technology, child custody and adoption, interstate and international parentage issues, transgender rights, dissolution of relationships, and domestic violence. Further, he has instructed courses in Gender Law & Policy at the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604ce01778231847fc0e6173/055536c3-70a1-4bee-8514-f74b504c4f46/IMG_4092.jpeg Ethan Chase, Partner - Education.

From the moment he decided to pursue a legal career, he knew family law was where he could make the greatest impact—guiding individuals and families through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. While earning his degree in political science at Biola University, Christian became convinced that the practice of law offered the most direct and meaningful way to serve his community. He returned to St. Louis to attend Saint Louis University School of Law, where he worked with indigent clients through the University’s Legal Clinic, helping them navigate complex and often chaotic legal situations. During law school, Christian also represented his classmates as a 3L class representative. Since relocating to Louisville, Christian has advocated for clients throughout Kentuckiana in a wide range of family law matters, including both contested and uncontested cases. His prior experience in corporate law, personal injury, and estate planning allows him to approach cases with a strategic perspective—particularly when matters involve business interests, trusts, or complex financial considerations. Christian currently represents clients in divorce, custody, adoption, and domestic violence cases both in Kentucky and Indiana as an associate attorney at Reczek Chase Law. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604ce01778231847fc0e6173/5650478c-9036-497f-b15f-a42ab3df76b4/IMG_9333.jpeg Christian Collett, Associate - Education.
