Absolutely terrible child advocate terrible person in general
Worst of all she LIES under oath.
I would recommend her to represent my worst enemy!!!

Went to her for mediation, and she was great! My ex and I don't really fight, and we wanted to keep the divorce reasonable. She was able to discuss the different possibilities, and she did not make us feel like we were being cheated. She worked with our schedules and met with us on a Sunday. I highly recommend her.

Julie Griffiths was the ad litem assigned to ky case. Our first meeting it seemed like she took the mothers side but was willing to do "baby steps" to get me some custody. She was hard to read, but was to some extent biased. The second meeting it seemed almost as if she realized my ex liked drama, and I was being unappropriately slandered and misrepresented by gossip. She allowed me thankfully to become unsupervised, which was appropriate and the correct decision. I am a VERY loving dad. Either way there was an agreement to re-negotiate everything for 6 months after that. It's been 9 months now and I have called her office countless times. I paid her over a thousand dollars and her, and it feels as if her office is unwilling to even give me a call back. I feel abandoned. My ex is now adamantly refusing to follow the custody order. She has made me call the police 4 times to get my court appointed time. I really wish my daughters representation would call me back. Getting very depressing very fast.

Julie was an amazing mediator. She was very kind and helpful and understanding

Julie represented me against my husband of 30 years. My ex and I actually got along well during our divorce, and Julie did not make the divorce last longer than it needed it to be. Julie was upfront and honest about the process, and she had a lot of knowledge about different ways to make our divorce fair. I would recommend her to anyone who doesn't want to get ripped off.

Julie represented me when I got divorced a number of years ago. I had hired a different attorney and was not happy at all with him. I had several friends recommend I speak to Julie as they had used her and were very pleased with their experience working with Julie. Julie was very knowledgeable to the laws and we were able to come to an agreement that worked for both of us. I recommend Julie and believe she will help you come to an agreement that works for both individuals.

Julie Griffiths is a great divorce and custody lawyer, that helped me out of a nearly impossible situation. She believed in me, my family, and she listened to all involved. Although the odds were against us, she was able to get the decision makers to listen and evaluate the situation for what it was. She is a strong communicator, and if you are looking for help, she is the lawyer you should talk to. She is honest, she will tell you when you are wrong or right, she will tell you what you need to do to prove your case. She does not waste money or time, she gets back to you when you have important or reasonable conversation. She will have your back, and she will help you to have your own as well.

I have read the other reviews, and I would point out that Julie is not in her office to be cuddly and nice. She is there to walk people through a difficult process, her job is to win your case, not to tell you what you want to hear. She is a great guide and amazing resource.

What I needed for a divorce. In and out, no BS

Julie was the GAL for my case, and I am so happy the court appointed her. The lawyers in our case were twisting the truth, and she was there to figure out a plan that worked for my ex-husband and I. She did a thorough investigation into our case, and she met with my ex and I so we could solve the case in a way that seemed fair for both of us. I would recommend her to anyone who is having issues with their attorney or anyone who wants a reasonable resolution.

She sided with my ex immediately and refused to hear anything I had to say. When I'd tell her something she'd accuse me of lying because my ex had told her otherwise. She bullied me and threatened me into agreeing with every single thing my ex wanted or that she would see to it that I'd never see my child again. She is extremely biased. She should not be a GAL! It's been a few years and my heart is still shattered over what she did to me and my child. I do not recommend her to anyone!

I’m sorry to say that my experience was identical to the last reviewer. I made the unfortunate mistake of asking for her as an ad litem for my son. She spoke with my ex first, had a preconceived notion of the situation before I even walked in, sided with him and pretty much refused to take any evidence from me to defend myself. She then tried to mediate (she was not hired to do so) and told me I’d never get my son as well. Oh and let’s not forget how she complained about her grass costing $20 to mow at her business while she most likely was charging me that $20 to complain about it to me.
Sorry lady but don’t you think I have bigger things to worry about than your cost to mow grass during a heated custody battle for my child!?
Edit:. Since this post my ex showed his true side to the court after I let go of my lawyers and did way better for myself. The court easily gave me full legal and physical custody which was more than I asked for. Also, some things i left out last time.
The only evidence she would take from me was the one thing she asked for to help my ex which was proof I wouldn't be on second shift at my work (obviously parents who work second shift at a job requiring a degree are unfit parents to her) she refused to accept it as truth as she didn't know what a shift manager was (the one who signed the letterheaded paper from my work with his phone number).
Also, my ex has a habit of blaming me for the exact thing that he does or causes. So my ex had a family member who was hospitalized and asked if he could have my son during my time. I told him of course but then this went on for 3 weeks straight. My son eventually started crying because he couldn't see me when I finally tried to put my foot down and see him. My ex turned this around and told Julie that my son cried because I refused to see him so long. So Julie has the nerve to chastise me and tell me EVEN if this was the man not seeing his child she would tell them that is bad parenting. If that's not biased towards men and sexist I don't know what is.
And apparently living in a house that has the water shut off for two days is a perfectly fine living environment for a child to julie after all, "It was only for two days."

Julie cashed our check before evening knowing who our family was. She blew us off several times. Had 60 days to do a home evaluation. Canceled home evaluation on the 59/60 day before court. Court was postponed another two weeks. An hour before court she submitted her report with out ever coming to our house that's what we paid her to do. She lied in her court report she submitted. Court was postponed yet again. Finally had my court date. What a surprise she never showed. All I had was a court submitted report that she lied about seeing my children and they where well taken care of. Yet she only saw one child while the other two slept.

Choosing Julie as our attorney was the best decision we made in advocating for my Stepson. She is honest, direct, and genuinely cares about your case. Julie continues to be a support to our family, without her we would not have had the positive decision the courts made in our favor. Julie comes highly recommended from our family.

Lawyers.... yep they got 'em

She is so awesome! My ex and I used her as a mediator, and she was so efficient. She had read our case ahead of time, and knew most of the issues before we even got there. She even bought us pizza so we wouldn't starve during the four hours we were there! She is also a mother, so that made her more relatable than others when it came to the custody issues we were having. Love her!

Went to her to as a meadatior and she was suppost to help and not take sides she sided with my ex and bullied me into agreement that i didnt want and told me that im not getting my kids i payed her 300 dollars to bullie me and side with my ex and tell me im not getting my kids shes a joke

Friendly, professional establishment, polite staff.
