About
I have been practicing law for over 27 years, most of which has been focused upon family law, including all aspects from starting a family, to adoption, custody, separation, divorce, and often handling complex property and business issues. In addition, I routinely handle international divorces and international custody cases, Hague cases, and interstate disputes. Finally I also handle juvenlle cases (dependency and neglect), and guardianship cases. While I zealously advocate for my clients, I enjoy helping people find solutions instead of creating unnecessary obstacles, and I endeavor to do this respectfully and diligently in a collaborative manner. I encourage parents to consider the children in regards to their actions in cases, especially when formulating parenting plans or planning a relocation. I am a certified mediator and a trained collaborative lawyer. I am a member of the American Bar Association Family Law Section, the Washington State Bar Association, Oregon State Bar Association, Colorado Bar Association, International Association of Collaborative Professionals, Boulder Bar Association, and the National Association of Counsel for Children and Whatcom Collaborative Law Group. I am licensed to practice in Washington State, Oregon and Colorado. I practice in Snohomish County, Skagit County and Whatcom County. In my "free time" I enjoy hiking, yoga, kayaking, spending time with my family, going to concerts, and taking care of animals.

My daughters dad took my child away from me out of the blue one day and I hired Julie to get her back and to get me primary on a parenting plan we won every step of the way and had to jump through many hoops, she was very supportive and very communicative to me the whole time! If I were ever to need a lawyer again I would absolutely go back to her! ❤️
Julie Caputo and her staff handled my divorce in 2020. Julie, Morgan and Melissa did a wonderful job for me. My case was unusual in some ways but they helped me through it with kindness and compassion. I strongly recommend this firm to anyone who needs help and wants to leave the worrying to others. Port Gardner Bay Law helped me and I am happy that I chose them to represent me. Michael
I originally hired a different attorney and was very displeased with how she was handling my extremely contentious divorce. Once I hired Julie, everything changed for the best! Julie continually put my mind at ease by talking me through the process and sharing multiple options with me. I have two children, one of which has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Julie not only consulted with other professionals to ensure my children where taken care of, but she helped when the GAL report was biased and incorrect. Julie is knowledgable, compassionate, professional, and wicked smart. My husband had a bulldog of an attorney (financed by his father), who was mainly all bark and no bite. Julie has a small bark, but bites HARD, and only when necessary. I paid for my divorce by myself, and as a newly single mom, I can confidently say that Julie is 100% worth it. She helped ensure that not only I had a bright future, but my children as well. I can not thank this woman enough for that gift. I hope I never need her again, but if I do, I know I'm in good hands.
I highly recommend Julie Caputo. I hired her to help me when I was sued for custody of my child by the father (we were not married). Julie was actually the 3rd attorney that I had hired. Julie never missed a deadline, she always acted in my best interest and her knowledge of the law, the attorney on the side and the courts was incredible. In the end, Julie got me what I wanted, primary custody of my child and the ability to move out of state. She was honest in her dealings with me and I appreciated that. I was far from the easiest client because I literally had everything to lose and it was, with no comparison, the most difficult time in my life. Julie was always professional, patient, and kind. I worked in law for almost two decades and Julie is one of the best attorneys I have worked with.
When I needed an attorney to help with with a child relocation case, Julie came highly recommended. I can understand why that is the case. She is thorough, she asks questions I hadn't even considered, she laid out my options and the likelihood each would come to play in the event we went to court. Julie acted as the go-between with my ex-husband, taking his often over-bearing comments in stride. Nothing seems to phase Julie. She had my best interests' in mind and she accomplished exactly what I wanted.
Any family law case involving children is both stressful and fragile. Julie Caputo took over my Relocation with minor modification to parenting plan case in July 2016-June 2017. Julie did an exceptional job from start to finish on my case. She literally saved my family with her professionalism, strategy and absolute integrity. She is highly experienced in her field with a prestigious well rounded education. From my personal experience from being Julie’s client this past year, I’ve learned that she is a warrior and advocate for what both reasonable and the over-all best outcome for all of her clients’ specific situations. Meaning, I never felt like “just a client”-ever. Julie’s authenticity as a person in my opinion was ranked as high as her professional experience. If you need a fearless, poised, sophisticated Family Law Attorney that will not back down when the unpredictable happens, then HIRE JULIE CAPUTO. I believe Julie brings out the best in her clients by her example of non-reactive wisdom, proficiency and integrity. Prior to hiring Julie Caputo, I had one mishap after another mostly caused by my previous attorney simply being inexperienced, my ex husband being high conflict and my ex husband’s attorney being extrovertly bad-tempered and at times disreputable. Initially, I overlooked my previous attorney being “new” to Family Law given that I was told by my former trusted divorce attorney that this Relocation case was “easy” and “straight forward” as I am and always have been primary parent. The truth is: no one can predict the future. Even after the advice of my trusted former divorce attorney, multiple consults with other professionals; I hired a Relocation attorney prior to Julie and unforeseen difficulty/opposition invaded my life through this case causing me great pain, fiscal demotion and a near hopelessness for a positive outcome for my children’s best interest. My ex-husband and his attorney bluntly objected to my Relocation case without any adequate cause. Preposterous even harassing objection after objection from my ex, misfiling by my previous Relocation attorney whom ultimately made my “easy” case into a complete mess causing detriment to my children (in that these conflicts created a reason for my ex-husband to seek out custody as primary parent). The first day I met Julie for a consult about the horrifying condition of my case; she spoke to me with absolute truth (even about the unknown and unpredictable) while having a heart for my biggest concern: the well being of my children as custody was now an issue. Julie’s authenticity and straightforwardness was how I was able to swallow very hard decisions regarding my now vulnerable case. In spite of my “easy” case being wrecked by misfortune on multiple parts, my sole reason aside from what I’ve mentioned above for hiring Julie was that she has been a GAL which is a neutral advocate for what’s best for the children. I knew that she of all other attorneys would know what it meant to put children’s needs first. I saw Julie Caputo’s heart for my children embedded in the first motion she ever wrote on my behalf. Despite the many uphill battles I’ve faced with my seeming broken case, I recall vividly that after reading for the first time how Julie led legal documents/declarations during my first hearing with her, that no matter how this ended I’d land in ultimately what is best for my children with this Relocation. In spite of all the adversity my case came to Julie with, she completely won my case without ever even having to go to trial. Julie never backed down from any threat or bullying behavior from my ex husband or his unprofessional attorney. Julie’s legal approach is what led me to victory and safety for not just my Relocation but more importantly-the BEST outcome for my greatest loves, my children. We are all doing fantastic after such a hard year. Julie saved my family from an impossible situation because she is extraordinary.
When Julie took our case it was in shambles from a previous attorney attempting to do too much at once. The situation was grave and our case seemed un-winnable as all hope was lost. She made some very strategic recommendations that would ultimately help solidify our position going into a very important hearing. Considering that Julie had to repair a badly broken case from a previous inexperienced attorney, at the time what she asked seemed impossible to attain. Ultimately her advise was both sound and in our best interest of our case and our future. Her attention to detail and vigor was apparent when it came to going through large amounts of case files. She was able to articulate our entire case (over a year’s worth of documentation) into a relatively short and concise final argument that clearly communicated the issues that were of great importance. She helped us get through a very tough, drawn out case that had multiple components blown very much of proportion and not of importance to our relocation case.
Julie handled my divorce. I was lost and a bit scared navigating a life event I thought would never come. During my consultation, she instantly put me at ease and I knew she was the one. Getting a divorce feels like cutting off a limb, and she was my true advocate. Her compassion and knowledge was invaluable to me. I instantly knew my case was in the best of hands. A million thanks to her and her team for seeing me through to completion. I couldn't have wished for more. What a God-send! Thank you Julie!!
I worked with Julie over the course of almost three years to establish a complicated post nuptial agreement and ultimately through a complicated divorce after a long term marriage. As a highly compensated man living in WA State my financial risks were significant. Julie expertly guided me through a difficult legal case and through a difficult emotional time and had the courage to give me honest, direct, candid counsel when I was allowing my emotions to overrule my logic and intelligence. Julie's attention to detail was astounding at times remembering details of the timeline and scenario that I had long forgotten. Her courtroom presence projects competence, calmness without being adversarial in demeanor but trust me if you want an attorney to take your case personally and represent your interests with passion and commitment, hire Julie. I have referred many of my clients to Julie for a variety of legal issues and all have been pleased with her representation.
She is a very smart and compassionate family attorney who knows her stuff. She was always available on the phone/email and respond to my queries promptly. Above all she is a great human being who genuinely cares for her clients. Excellent service from start to finish. Very knowledgable and very kind. Always kept me updated with progress of my case. High amounts of integrity....thoroughly enjoyed my short stay in her caring arms.....

Despite the many uphill battles I’ve faced with my seeming broken case, I recall vividly that after reading for the first time how Julie led legal documents/declarations during my first hearing with her, that no matter how this ended I’d land in ultimately what is best for my children with this Relocation. In spite of all the adversity my case came to Julie with, she completely won my case without ever even having to go to trial. Julie never backed down from any threat or bullying behavior from my ex husband or his unprofessional attorney. Julie’s legal approach is what led me to victory and safety for not just my Relocation but more importantly-the BEST outcome for my greatest loves, my children. We are all doing fantastic after such a hard year. Julie saved my family from an impossible situation because she is extraordinary.
When Julie took our case it was in shambles from a previous attorney attempting to do too much at once. The situation was grave and our case seemed un-winnable as all hope was lost. She made some very strategic recommendations that would ultimately help solidify our position going into a very important hearing. Considering that Julie had to repair a badly broken case from a previous inexperienced attorney, at the time what she asked seemed impossible to attain. Ultimately her advise was both sound and in our best interest of our case and our future. Her attention to detail and vigor was apparent when it came to going through large amounts of case files. She was able to articulate our entire case (over a year’s worth of documentation) into a relatively short and concise final argument that clearly communicated the issues that were of great importance. She helped us get through a very tough, drawn out case that had multiple components blown very much of proportion and not of importance to our relocation case.
Julie handled my divorce. I was lost and a bit scared navigating a life event I thought would never come. During my consultation, she instantly put me at ease and I knew she was the one. Getting a divorce feels like cutting off a limb, and she was my true advocate. Her compassion and knowledge was invaluable to me. I instantly knew my case was in the best of hands. A million thanks to her and her team for seeing me through to completion. I couldn't have wished for more. What a God-send! Thank you Julie!!
I worked with Julie over the course of almost three years to establish a complicated post nuptial agreement and ultimately through a complicated divorce after a long term marriage. As a highly compensated man living in WA State my financial risks were significant. Julie expertly guided me through a difficult legal case and through a difficult emotional time and had the courage to give me honest, direct, candid counsel when I was allowing my emotions to overrule my logic and intelligence. Julie's attention to detail was astounding at times remembering details of the timeline and scenario that I had long forgotten. Her courtroom presence projects competence, calmness without being adversarial in demeanor but trust me if you want an attorney to take your case personally and represent your interests with passion and commitment, hire Julie. I have referred many of my clients to Julie for a variety of legal issues and all have been pleased with her representation.
She is a very smart and compassionate family attorney who knows her stuff. She was always available on the phone/email and respond to my queries promptly. Above all she is a great human being who genuinely cares for her clients. Excellent service from start to finish. Very knowledgable and very kind. Always kept me updated with progress of my case. High amounts of integrity....thoroughly enjoyed my short stay in her caring arms.....
My daughters dad took my child away from me out of the blue one day and I hired Julie to get her back and to get me primary on a parenting plan we won every step of the way and had to jump through many hoops, she was very supportive and very communicative to me the whole time! If I were ever to need a lawyer again I would absolutely go back to her! ❤️
Julie Caputo and her staff handled my divorce in 2020. Julie, Morgan and Melissa did a wonderful job for me. My case was unusual in some ways but they helped me through it with kindness and compassion. I strongly recommend this firm to anyone who needs help and wants to leave the worrying to others. Port Gardner Bay Law helped me and I am happy that I chose them to represent me. Michael
I originally hired a different attorney and was very displeased with how she was handling my extremely contentious divorce. Once I hired Julie, everything changed for the best! Julie continually put my mind at ease by talking me through the process and sharing multiple options with me. I have two children, one of which has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Julie not only consulted with other professionals to ensure my children where taken care of, but she helped when the GAL report was biased and incorrect. Julie is knowledgable, compassionate, professional, and wicked smart. My husband had a bulldog of an attorney (financed by his father), who was mainly all bark and no bite. Julie has a small bark, but bites HARD, and only when necessary. I paid for my divorce by myself, and as a newly single mom, I can confidently say that Julie is 100% worth it. She helped ensure that not only I had a bright future, but my children as well. I can not thank this woman enough for that gift. I hope I never need her again, but if I do, I know I'm in good hands.
I highly recommend Julie Caputo. I hired her to help me when I was sued for custody of my child by the father (we were not married). Julie was actually the 3rd attorney that I had hired. Julie never missed a deadline, she always acted in my best interest and her knowledge of the law, the attorney on the side and the courts was incredible. In the end, Julie got me what I wanted, primary custody of my child and the ability to move out of state. She was honest in her dealings with me and I appreciated that. I was far from the easiest client because I literally had everything to lose and it was, with no comparison, the most difficult time in my life. Julie was always professional, patient, and kind. I worked in law for almost two decades and Julie is one of the best attorneys I have worked with.
When I needed an attorney to help with with a child relocation case, Julie came highly recommended. I can understand why that is the case. She is thorough, she asks questions I hadn't even considered, she laid out my options and the likelihood each would come to play in the event we went to court. Julie acted as the go-between with my ex-husband, taking his often over-bearing comments in stride. Nothing seems to phase Julie. She had my best interests' in mind and she accomplished exactly what I wanted.
Any family law case involving children is both stressful and fragile. Julie Caputo took over my Relocation with minor modification to parenting plan case in July 2016-June 2017. Julie did an exceptional job from start to finish on my case. She literally saved my family with her professionalism, strategy and absolute integrity. She is highly experienced in her field with a prestigious well rounded education. From my personal experience from being Julie’s client this past year, I’ve learned that she is a warrior and advocate for what both reasonable and the over-all best outcome for all of her clients’ specific situations. Meaning, I never felt like “just a client”-ever. Julie’s authenticity as a person in my opinion was ranked as high as her professional experience. If you need a fearless, poised, sophisticated Family Law Attorney that will not back down when the unpredictable happens, then HIRE JULIE CAPUTO. I believe Julie brings out the best in her clients by her example of non-reactive wisdom, proficiency and integrity. Prior to hiring Julie Caputo, I had one mishap after another mostly caused by my previous attorney simply being inexperienced, my ex husband being high conflict and my ex husband’s attorney being extrovertly bad-tempered and at times disreputable. Initially, I overlooked my previous attorney being “new” to Family Law given that I was told by my former trusted divorce attorney that this Relocation case was “easy” and “straight forward” as I am and always have been primary parent. The truth is: no one can predict the future. Even after the advice of my trusted former divorce attorney, multiple consults with other professionals; I hired a Relocation attorney prior to Julie and unforeseen difficulty/opposition invaded my life through this case causing me great pain, fiscal demotion and a near hopelessness for a positive outcome for my children’s best interest. My ex-husband and his attorney bluntly objected to my Relocation case without any adequate cause. Preposterous even harassing objection after objection from my ex, misfiling by my previous Relocation attorney whom ultimately made my “easy” case into a complete mess causing detriment to my children (in that these conflicts created a reason for my ex-husband to seek out custody as primary parent). The first day I met Julie for a consult about the horrifying condition of my case; she spoke to me with absolute truth (even about the unknown and unpredictable) while having a heart for my biggest concern: the well being of my children as custody was now an issue. Julie’s authenticity and straightforwardness was how I was able to swallow very hard decisions regarding my now vulnerable case. In spite of my “easy” case being wrecked by misfortune on multiple parts, my sole reason aside from what I’ve mentioned above for hiring Julie was that she has been a GAL which is a neutral advocate for what’s best for the children. I knew that she of all other attorneys would know what it meant to put children’s needs first. I saw Julie Caputo’s heart for my children embedded in the first motion she ever wrote on my behalf.

If you need a fearless, poised, sophisticated Family Law Attorney that will not back down when the unpredictable happens, then HIRE JULIE CAPUTO. I believe Julie brings out the best in her clients by her example of non-reactive wisdom, proficiency and integrity. Prior to hiring Julie Caputo, I had one mishap after another mostly caused by my previous attorney simply being inexperienced, my ex husband being high conflict and my ex husband’s attorney being extrovertly bad-tempered and at times disreputable. Initially, I overlooked my previous attorney being “new” to Family Law given that I was told by my former trusted divorce attorney that this Relocation case was “easy” and “straight forward” as I am and always have been primary parent. The truth is: no one can predict the future. Even after the advice of my trusted former divorce attorney, multiple consults with other professionals; I hired a Relocation attorney prior to Julie and unforeseen difficulty/opposition invaded my life through this case causing me great pain, fiscal demotion and a near hopelessness for a positive outcome for my children’s best interest. My ex-husband and his attorney bluntly objected to my Relocation case without any adequate cause. Preposterous even harassing objection after objection from my ex, misfiling by my previous Relocation attorney whom ultimately made my “easy” case into a complete mess causing detriment to my children (in that these conflicts created a reason for my ex-husband to seek out custody as primary parent). The first day I met Julie for a consult about the horrifying condition of my case; she spoke to me with absolute truth (even about the unknown and unpredictable) while having a heart for my biggest concern: the well being of my children as custody was now an issue. Julie’s authenticity and straightforwardness was how I was able to swallow very hard decisions regarding my now vulnerable case. In spite of my “easy” case being wrecked by misfortune on multiple parts, my sole reason aside from what I’ve mentioned above for hiring Julie was that she has been a GAL which is a neutral advocate for what’s best for the children. I knew that she of all other attorneys would know what it meant to put children’s needs first. I saw Julie Caputo’s heart for my children embedded in the first motion she ever wrote on my behalf. Despite the many uphill battles I’ve faced with my seeming broken case, I recall vividly that after reading for the first time how Julie led legal documents/declarations during my first hearing with her, that no matter how this ended I’d land in ultimately what is best for my children with this Relocation. In spite of all the adversity my case came to Julie with, she completely won my case without ever even having to go to trial. Julie never backed down from any threat or bullying behavior from my ex husband or his unprofessional attorney. Julie’s legal approach is what led me to victory and safety for not just my Relocation but more importantly-the BEST outcome for my greatest loves, my children. We are all doing fantastic after such a hard year. Julie saved my family from an impossible situation because she is extraordinary.
When Julie took our case it was in shambles from a previous attorney attempting to do too much at once. The situation was grave and our case seemed un-winnable as all hope was lost. She made some very strategic recommendations that would ultimately help solidify our position going into a very important hearing. Considering that Julie had to repair a badly broken case from a previous inexperienced attorney, at the time what she asked seemed impossible to attain. Ultimately her advise was both sound and in our best interest of our case and our future. Her attention to detail and vigor was apparent when it came to going through large amounts of case files. She was able to articulate our entire case (over a year’s worth of documentation) into a relatively short and concise final argument that clearly communicated the issues that were of great importance. She helped us get through a very tough, drawn out case that had multiple components blown very much of proportion and not of importance to our relocation case.
Julie handled my divorce. I was lost and a bit scared navigating a life event I thought would never come. During my consultation, she instantly put me at ease and I knew she was the one. Getting a divorce feels like cutting off a limb, and she was my true advocate. Her compassion and knowledge was invaluable to me. I instantly knew my case was in the best of hands. A million thanks to her and her team for seeing me through to completion. I couldn't have wished for more. What a God-send! Thank you Julie!!
I worked with Julie over the course of almost three years to establish a complicated post nuptial agreement and ultimately through a complicated divorce after a long term marriage. As a highly compensated man living in WA State my financial risks were significant. Julie expertly guided me through a difficult legal case and through a difficult emotional time and had the courage to give me honest, direct, candid counsel when I was allowing my emotions to overrule my logic and intelligence. Julie's attention to detail was astounding at times remembering details of the timeline and scenario that I had long forgotten. Her courtroom presence projects competence, calmness without being adversarial in demeanor but trust me if you want an attorney to take your case personally and represent your interests with passion and commitment, hire Julie. I have referred many of my clients to Julie for a variety of legal issues and all have been pleased with her representation.
She is a very smart and compassionate family attorney who knows her stuff. She was always available on the phone/email and respond to my queries promptly. Above all she is a great human being who genuinely cares for her clients. Excellent service from start to finish. Very knowledgable and very kind. Always kept me updated with progress of my case. High amounts of integrity....thoroughly enjoyed my short stay in her caring arms.....
My daughters dad took my child away from me out of the blue one day and I hired Julie to get her back and to get me primary on a parenting plan we won every step of the way and had to jump through many hoops, she was very supportive and very communicative to me the whole time! If I were ever to need a lawyer again I would absolutely go back to her! ❤️
Julie Caputo and her staff handled my divorce in 2020. Julie, Morgan and Melissa did a wonderful job for me. My case was unusual in some ways but they helped me through it with kindness and compassion. I strongly recommend this firm to anyone who needs help and wants to leave the worrying to others. Port Gardner Bay Law helped me and I am happy that I chose them to represent me. Michael
I originally hired a different attorney and was very displeased with how she was handling my extremely contentious divorce. Once I hired Julie, everything changed for the best! Julie continually put my mind at ease by talking me through the process and sharing multiple options with me. I have two children, one of which has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Julie not only consulted with other professionals to ensure my children where taken care of, but she helped when the GAL report was biased and incorrect. Julie is knowledgable, compassionate, professional, and wicked smart. My husband had a bulldog of an attorney (financed by his father), who was mainly all bark and no bite. Julie has a small bark, but bites HARD, and only when necessary. I paid for my divorce by myself, and as a newly single mom, I can confidently say that Julie is 100% worth it. She helped ensure that not only I had a bright future, but my children as well. I can not thank this woman enough for that gift. I hope I never need her again, but if I do, I know I'm in good hands.
I highly recommend Julie Caputo. I hired her to help me when I was sued for custody of my child by the father (we were not married). Julie was actually the 3rd attorney that I had hired. Julie never missed a deadline, she always acted in my best interest and her knowledge of the law, the attorney on the side and the courts was incredible. In the end, Julie got me what I wanted, primary custody of my child and the ability to move out of state. She was honest in her dealings with me and I appreciated that. I was far from the easiest client because I literally had everything to lose and it was, with no comparison, the most difficult time in my life. Julie was always professional, patient, and kind. I worked in law for almost two decades and Julie is one of the best attorneys I have worked with.
When I needed an attorney to help with with a child relocation case, Julie came highly recommended. I can understand why that is the case. She is thorough, she asks questions I hadn't even considered, she laid out my options and the likelihood each would come to play in the event we went to court. Julie acted as the go-between with my ex-husband, taking his often over-bearing comments in stride. Nothing seems to phase Julie. She had my best interests' in mind and she accomplished exactly what I wanted.
Any family law case involving children is both stressful and fragile. Julie Caputo took over my Relocation with minor modification to parenting plan case in July 2016-June 2017. Julie did an exceptional job from start to finish on my case. She literally saved my family with her professionalism, strategy and absolute integrity. She is highly experienced in her field with a prestigious well rounded education. From my personal experience from being Julie’s client this past year, I’ve learned that she is a warrior and advocate for what both reasonable and the over-all best outcome for all of her clients’ specific situations.

I highly recommend Julie Caputo. I hired her to help me when I was sued for custody of my child by the father (we were not married). Julie was actually the 3rd attorney that I had hired. Julie never missed a deadline, she always acted in my best interest and her knowledge of the law, the attorney on the side and the courts was incredible. In the end, Julie got me what I wanted, primary custody of my child and the ability to move out of state. She was honest in her dealings with me and I appreciated that. I was far from the easiest client because I literally had everything to lose and it was, with no comparison, the most difficult time in my life. Julie was always professional, patient, and kind. I worked in law for almost two decades and Julie is one of the best attorneys I have worked with.
When I needed an attorney to help with with a child relocation case, Julie came highly recommended. I can understand why that is the case. She is thorough, she asks questions I hadn't even considered, she laid out my options and the likelihood each would come to play in the event we went to court. Julie acted as the go-between with my ex-husband, taking his often over-bearing comments in stride. Nothing seems to phase Julie. She had my best interests' in mind and she accomplished exactly what I wanted.
Any family law case involving children is both stressful and fragile. Julie Caputo took over my Relocation with minor modification to parenting plan case in July 2016-June 2017. Julie did an exceptional job from start to finish on my case. She literally saved my family with her professionalism, strategy and absolute integrity. She is highly experienced in her field with a prestigious well rounded education. From my personal experience from being Julie’s client this past year, I’ve learned that she is a warrior and advocate for what both reasonable and the over-all best outcome for all of her clients’ specific situations. Meaning, I never felt like “just a client”-ever. Julie’s authenticity as a person in my opinion was ranked as high as her professional experience. If you need a fearless, poised, sophisticated Family Law Attorney that will not back down when the unpredictable happens, then HIRE JULIE CAPUTO. I believe Julie brings out the best in her clients by her example of non-reactive wisdom, proficiency and integrity. Prior to hiring Julie Caputo, I had one mishap after another mostly caused by my previous attorney simply being inexperienced, my ex husband being high conflict and my ex husband’s attorney being extrovertly bad-tempered and at times disreputable. Initially, I overlooked my previous attorney being “new” to Family Law given that I was told by my former trusted divorce attorney that this Relocation case was “easy” and “straight forward” as I am and always have been primary parent. The truth is: no one can predict the future. Even after the advice of my trusted former divorce attorney, multiple consults with other professionals; I hired a Relocation attorney prior to Julie and unforeseen difficulty/opposition invaded my life through this case causing me great pain, fiscal demotion and a near hopelessness for a positive outcome for my children’s best interest. My ex-husband and his attorney bluntly objected to my Relocation case without any adequate cause. Preposterous even harassing objection after objection from my ex, misfiling by my previous Relocation attorney whom ultimately made my “easy” case into a complete mess causing detriment to my children (in that these conflicts created a reason for my ex-husband to seek out custody as primary parent). The first day I met Julie for a consult about the horrifying condition of my case; she spoke to me with absolute truth (even about the unknown and unpredictable) while having a heart for my biggest concern: the well being of my children as custody was now an issue. Julie’s authenticity and straightforwardness was how I was able to swallow very hard decisions regarding my now vulnerable case. In spite of my “easy” case being wrecked by misfortune on multiple parts, my sole reason aside from what I’ve mentioned above for hiring Julie was that she has been a GAL which is a neutral advocate for what’s best for the children. I knew that she of all other attorneys would know what it meant to put children’s needs first. I saw Julie Caputo’s heart for my children embedded in the first motion she ever wrote on my behalf. Despite the many uphill battles I’ve faced with my seeming broken case, I recall vividly that after reading for the first time how Julie led legal documents/declarations during my first hearing with her, that no matter how this ended I’d land in ultimately what is best for my children with this Relocation. In spite of all the adversity my case came to Julie with, she completely won my case without ever even having to go to trial. Julie never backed down from any threat or bullying behavior from my ex husband or his unprofessional attorney. Julie’s legal approach is what led me to victory and safety for not just my Relocation but more importantly-the BEST outcome for my greatest loves, my children. We are all doing fantastic after such a hard year. Julie saved my family from an impossible situation because she is extraordinary.
When Julie took our case it was in shambles from a previous attorney attempting to do too much at once. The situation was grave and our case seemed un-winnable as all hope was lost. She made some very strategic recommendations that would ultimately help solidify our position going into a very important hearing. Considering that Julie had to repair a badly broken case from a previous inexperienced attorney, at the time what she asked seemed impossible to attain. Ultimately her advise was both sound and in our best interest of our case and our future. Her attention to detail and vigor was apparent when it came to going through large amounts of case files. She was able to articulate our entire case (over a year’s worth of documentation) into a relatively short and concise final argument that clearly communicated the issues that were of great importance. She helped us get through a very tough, drawn out case that had multiple components blown very much of proportion and not of importance to our relocation case.
Julie handled my divorce. I was lost and a bit scared navigating a life event I thought would never come. During my consultation, she instantly put me at ease and I knew she was the one. Getting a divorce feels like cutting off a limb, and she was my true advocate. Her compassion and knowledge was invaluable to me. I instantly knew my case was in the best of hands. A million thanks to her and her team for seeing me through to completion. I couldn't have wished for more. What a God-send! Thank you Julie!!
I worked with Julie over the course of almost three years to establish a complicated post nuptial agreement and ultimately through a complicated divorce after a long term marriage. As a highly compensated man living in WA State my financial risks were significant. Julie expertly guided me through a difficult legal case and through a difficult emotional time and had the courage to give me honest, direct, candid counsel when I was allowing my emotions to overrule my logic and intelligence. Julie's attention to detail was astounding at times remembering details of the timeline and scenario that I had long forgotten. Her courtroom presence projects competence, calmness without being adversarial in demeanor but trust me if you want an attorney to take your case personally and represent your interests with passion and commitment, hire Julie. I have referred many of my clients to Julie for a variety of legal issues and all have been pleased with her representation.
She is a very smart and compassionate family attorney who knows her stuff. She was always available on the phone/email and respond to my queries promptly. Above all she is a great human being who genuinely cares for her clients. Excellent service from start to finish. Very knowledgable and very kind. Always kept me updated with progress of my case. High amounts of integrity....thoroughly enjoyed my short stay in her caring arms.....
My daughters dad took my child away from me out of the blue one day and I hired Julie to get her back and to get me primary on a parenting plan we won every step of the way and had to jump through many hoops, she was very supportive and very communicative to me the whole time! If I were ever to need a lawyer again I would absolutely go back to her! ❤️
Julie Caputo and her staff handled my divorce in 2020. Julie, Morgan and Melissa did a wonderful job for me. My case was unusual in some ways but they helped me through it with kindness and compassion. I strongly recommend this firm to anyone who needs help and wants to leave the worrying to others. Port Gardner Bay Law helped me and I am happy that I chose them to represent me. Michael
I originally hired a different attorney and was very displeased with how she was handling my extremely contentious divorce. Once I hired Julie, everything changed for the best! Julie continually put my mind at ease by talking me through the process and sharing multiple options with me. I have two children, one of which has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Julie not only consulted with other professionals to ensure my children where taken care of, but she helped when the GAL report was biased and incorrect. Julie is knowledgable, compassionate, professional, and wicked smart. My husband had a bulldog of an attorney (financed by his father), who was mainly all bark and no bite. Julie has a small bark, but bites HARD, and only when necessary. I paid for my divorce by myself, and as a newly single mom, I can confidently say that Julie is 100% worth it. She helped ensure that not only I had a bright future, but my children as well. I can not thank this woman enough for that gift. I hope I never need her again, but if I do, I know I'm in good hands.

She is a very smart and compassionate family attorney who knows her stuff. She was always available on the phone/email and respond to my queries promptly. Above all she is a great human being who genuinely cares for her clients. Excellent service from start to finish. Very knowledgable and very kind. Always kept me updated with progress of my case. High amounts of integrity....thoroughly enjoyed my short stay in her caring arms.....
My daughters dad took my child away from me out of the blue one day and I hired Julie to get her back and to get me primary on a parenting plan we won every step of the way and had to jump through many hoops, she was very supportive and very communicative to me the whole time! If I were ever to need a lawyer again I would absolutely go back to her! ❤️
Julie Caputo and her staff handled my divorce in 2020. Julie, Morgan and Melissa did a wonderful job for me. My case was unusual in some ways but they helped me through it with kindness and compassion. I strongly recommend this firm to anyone who needs help and wants to leave the worrying to others. Port Gardner Bay Law helped me and I am happy that I chose them to represent me. Michael
I originally hired a different attorney and was very displeased with how she was handling my extremely contentious divorce. Once I hired Julie, everything changed for the best! Julie continually put my mind at ease by talking me through the process and sharing multiple options with me. I have two children, one of which has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Julie not only consulted with other professionals to ensure my children where taken care of, but she helped when the GAL report was biased and incorrect. Julie is knowledgable, compassionate, professional, and wicked smart. My husband had a bulldog of an attorney (financed by his father), who was mainly all bark and no bite. Julie has a small bark, but bites HARD, and only when necessary. I paid for my divorce by myself, and as a newly single mom, I can confidently say that Julie is 100% worth it. She helped ensure that not only I had a bright future, but my children as well. I can not thank this woman enough for that gift. I hope I never need her again, but if I do, I know I'm in good hands.
I highly recommend Julie Caputo. I hired her to help me when I was sued for custody of my child by the father (we were not married). Julie was actually the 3rd attorney that I had hired. Julie never missed a deadline, she always acted in my best interest and her knowledge of the law, the attorney on the side and the courts was incredible. In the end, Julie got me what I wanted, primary custody of my child and the ability to move out of state. She was honest in her dealings with me and I appreciated that. I was far from the easiest client because I literally had everything to lose and it was, with no comparison, the most difficult time in my life. Julie was always professional, patient, and kind. I worked in law for almost two decades and Julie is one of the best attorneys I have worked with.
When I needed an attorney to help with with a child relocation case, Julie came highly recommended. I can understand why that is the case. She is thorough, she asks questions I hadn't even considered, she laid out my options and the likelihood each would come to play in the event we went to court. Julie acted as the go-between with my ex-husband, taking his often over-bearing comments in stride. Nothing seems to phase Julie. She had my best interests' in mind and she accomplished exactly what I wanted.
Any family law case involving children is both stressful and fragile. Julie Caputo took over my Relocation with minor modification to parenting plan case in July 2016-June 2017. Julie did an exceptional job from start to finish on my case. She literally saved my family with her professionalism, strategy and absolute integrity. She is highly experienced in her field with a prestigious well rounded education. From my personal experience from being Julie’s client this past year, I’ve learned that she is a warrior and advocate for what both reasonable and the over-all best outcome for all of her clients’ specific situations. Meaning, I never felt like “just a client”-ever. Julie’s authenticity as a person in my opinion was ranked as high as her professional experience. If you need a fearless, poised, sophisticated Family Law Attorney that will not back down when the unpredictable happens, then HIRE JULIE CAPUTO. I believe Julie brings out the best in her clients by her example of non-reactive wisdom, proficiency and integrity. Prior to hiring Julie Caputo, I had one mishap after another mostly caused by my previous attorney simply being inexperienced, my ex husband being high conflict and my ex husband’s attorney being extrovertly bad-tempered and at times disreputable. Initially, I overlooked my previous attorney being “new” to Family Law given that I was told by my former trusted divorce attorney that this Relocation case was “easy” and “straight forward” as I am and always have been primary parent. The truth is: no one can predict the future. Even after the advice of my trusted former divorce attorney, multiple consults with other professionals; I hired a Relocation attorney prior to Julie and unforeseen difficulty/opposition invaded my life through this case causing me great pain, fiscal demotion and a near hopelessness for a positive outcome for my children’s best interest. My ex-husband and his attorney bluntly objected to my Relocation case without any adequate cause. Preposterous even harassing objection after objection from my ex, misfiling by my previous Relocation attorney whom ultimately made my “easy” case into a complete mess causing detriment to my children (in that these conflicts created a reason for my ex-husband to seek out custody as primary parent). The first day I met Julie for a consult about the horrifying condition of my case; she spoke to me with absolute truth (even about the unknown and unpredictable) while having a heart for my biggest concern: the well being of my children as custody was now an issue. Julie’s authenticity and straightforwardness was how I was able to swallow very hard decisions regarding my now vulnerable case. In spite of my “easy” case being wrecked by misfortune on multiple parts, my sole reason aside from what I’ve mentioned above for hiring Julie was that she has been a GAL which is a neutral advocate for what’s best for the children. I knew that she of all other attorneys would know what it meant to put children’s needs first. I saw Julie Caputo’s heart for my children embedded in the first motion she ever wrote on my behalf. Despite the many uphill battles I’ve faced with my seeming broken case, I recall vividly that after reading for the first time how Julie led legal documents/declarations during my first hearing with her, that no matter how this ended I’d land in ultimately what is best for my children with this Relocation. In spite of all the adversity my case came to Julie with, she completely won my case without ever even having to go to trial. Julie never backed down from any threat or bullying behavior from my ex husband or his unprofessional attorney. Julie’s legal approach is what led me to victory and safety for not just my Relocation but more importantly-the BEST outcome for my greatest loves, my children. We are all doing fantastic after such a hard year. Julie saved my family from an impossible situation because she is extraordinary.
When Julie took our case it was in shambles from a previous attorney attempting to do too much at once. The situation was grave and our case seemed un-winnable as all hope was lost. She made some very strategic recommendations that would ultimately help solidify our position going into a very important hearing. Considering that Julie had to repair a badly broken case from a previous inexperienced attorney, at the time what she asked seemed impossible to attain. Ultimately her advise was both sound and in our best interest of our case and our future. Her attention to detail and vigor was apparent when it came to going through large amounts of case files. She was able to articulate our entire case (over a year’s worth of documentation) into a relatively short and concise final argument that clearly communicated the issues that were of great importance. She helped us get through a very tough, drawn out case that had multiple components blown very much of proportion and not of importance to our relocation case.
Julie handled my divorce. I was lost and a bit scared navigating a life event I thought would never come. During my consultation, she instantly put me at ease and I knew she was the one. Getting a divorce feels like cutting off a limb, and she was my true advocate. Her compassion and knowledge was invaluable to me. I instantly knew my case was in the best of hands. A million thanks to her and her team for seeing me through to completion. I couldn't have wished for more. What a God-send! Thank you Julie!!
I worked with Julie over the course of almost three years to establish a complicated post nuptial agreement and ultimately through a complicated divorce after a long term marriage. As a highly compensated man living in WA State my financial risks were significant. Julie expertly guided me through a difficult legal case and through a difficult emotional time and had the courage to give me honest, direct, candid counsel when I was allowing my emotions to overrule my logic and intelligence. Julie's attention to detail was astounding at times remembering details of the timeline and scenario that I had long forgotten. Her courtroom presence projects competence, calmness without being adversarial in demeanor but trust me if you want an attorney to take your case personally and represent your interests with passion and commitment, hire Julie. I have referred many of my clients to Julie for a variety of legal issues and all have been pleased with her representation.

She made some very strategic recommendations that would ultimately help solidify our position going into a very important hearing. Considering that Julie had to repair a badly broken case from a previous inexperienced attorney, at the time what she asked seemed impossible to attain. Ultimately her advise was both sound and in our best interest of our case and our future. Her attention to detail and vigor was apparent when it came to going through large amounts of case files. She was able to articulate our entire case (over a year’s worth of documentation) into a relatively short and concise final argument that clearly communicated the issues that were of great importance. She helped us get through a very tough, drawn out case that had multiple components blown very much of proportion and not of importance to our relocation case.
Julie handled my divorce. I was lost and a bit scared navigating a life event I thought would never come. During my consultation, she instantly put me at ease and I knew she was the one. Getting a divorce feels like cutting off a limb, and she was my true advocate. Her compassion and knowledge was invaluable to me. I instantly knew my case was in the best of hands. A million thanks to her and her team for seeing me through to completion. I couldn't have wished for more. What a God-send! Thank you Julie!!
I worked with Julie over the course of almost three years to establish a complicated post nuptial agreement and ultimately through a complicated divorce after a long term marriage. As a highly compensated man living in WA State my financial risks were significant. Julie expertly guided me through a difficult legal case and through a difficult emotional time and had the courage to give me honest, direct, candid counsel when I was allowing my emotions to overrule my logic and intelligence. Julie's attention to detail was astounding at times remembering details of the timeline and scenario that I had long forgotten. Her courtroom presence projects competence, calmness without being adversarial in demeanor but trust me if you want an attorney to take your case personally and represent your interests with passion and commitment, hire Julie. I have referred many of my clients to Julie for a variety of legal issues and all have been pleased with her representation.
She is a very smart and compassionate family attorney who knows her stuff. She was always available on the phone/email and respond to my queries promptly. Above all she is a great human being who genuinely cares for her clients. Excellent service from start to finish. Very knowledgable and very kind. Always kept me updated with progress of my case. High amounts of integrity....thoroughly enjoyed my short stay in her caring arms.....
My daughters dad took my child away from me out of the blue one day and I hired Julie to get her back and to get me primary on a parenting plan we won every step of the way and had to jump through many hoops, she was very supportive and very communicative to me the whole time! If I were ever to need a lawyer again I would absolutely go back to her! ❤️
Julie Caputo and her staff handled my divorce in 2020. Julie, Morgan and Melissa did a wonderful job for me. My case was unusual in some ways but they helped me through it with kindness and compassion. I strongly recommend this firm to anyone who needs help and wants to leave the worrying to others. Port Gardner Bay Law helped me and I am happy that I chose them to represent me. Michael
I originally hired a different attorney and was very displeased with how she was handling my extremely contentious divorce. Once I hired Julie, everything changed for the best! Julie continually put my mind at ease by talking me through the process and sharing multiple options with me. I have two children, one of which has Autism Spectrum Disorder. Julie not only consulted with other professionals to ensure my children where taken care of, but she helped when the GAL report was biased and incorrect. Julie is knowledgable, compassionate, professional, and wicked smart. My husband had a bulldog of an attorney (financed by his father), who was mainly all bark and no bite. Julie has a small bark, but bites HARD, and only when necessary. I paid for my divorce by myself, and as a newly single mom, I can confidently say that Julie is 100% worth it. She helped ensure that not only I had a bright future, but my children as well. I can not thank this woman enough for that gift. I hope I never need her again, but if I do, I know I'm in good hands.
I highly recommend Julie Caputo. I hired her to help me when I was sued for custody of my child by the father (we were not married). Julie was actually the 3rd attorney that I had hired. Julie never missed a deadline, she always acted in my best interest and her knowledge of the law, the attorney on the side and the courts was incredible. In the end, Julie got me what I wanted, primary custody of my child and the ability to move out of state. She was honest in her dealings with me and I appreciated that. I was far from the easiest client because I literally had everything to lose and it was, with no comparison, the most difficult time in my life. Julie was always professional, patient, and kind. I worked in law for almost two decades and Julie is one of the best attorneys I have worked with.
When I needed an attorney to help with with a child relocation case, Julie came highly recommended. I can understand why that is the case. She is thorough, she asks questions I hadn't even considered, she laid out my options and the likelihood each would come to play in the event we went to court. Julie acted as the go-between with my ex-husband, taking his often over-bearing comments in stride. Nothing seems to phase Julie. She had my best interests' in mind and she accomplished exactly what I wanted.
Any family law case involving children is both stressful and fragile. Julie Caputo took over my Relocation with minor modification to parenting plan case in July 2016-June 2017. Julie did an exceptional job from start to finish on my case. She literally saved my family with her professionalism, strategy and absolute integrity. She is highly experienced in her field with a prestigious well rounded education. From my personal experience from being Julie’s client this past year, I’ve learned that she is a warrior and advocate for what both reasonable and the over-all best outcome for all of her clients’ specific situations. Meaning, I never felt like “just a client”-ever. Julie’s authenticity as a person in my opinion was ranked as high as her professional experience. If you need a fearless, poised, sophisticated Family Law Attorney that will not back down when the unpredictable happens, then HIRE JULIE CAPUTO. I believe Julie brings out the best in her clients by her example of non-reactive wisdom, proficiency and integrity. Prior to hiring Julie Caputo, I had one mishap after another mostly caused by my previous attorney simply being inexperienced, my ex husband being high conflict and my ex husband’s attorney being extrovertly bad-tempered and at times disreputable. Initially, I overlooked my previous attorney being “new” to Family Law given that I was told by my former trusted divorce attorney that this Relocation case was “easy” and “straight forward” as I am and always have been primary parent. The truth is: no one can predict the future. Even after the advice of my trusted former divorce attorney, multiple consults with other professionals; I hired a Relocation attorney prior to Julie and unforeseen difficulty/opposition invaded my life through this case causing me great pain, fiscal demotion and a near hopelessness for a positive outcome for my children’s best interest. My ex-husband and his attorney bluntly objected to my Relocation case without any adequate cause. Preposterous even harassing objection after objection from my ex, misfiling by my previous Relocation attorney whom ultimately made my “easy” case into a complete mess causing detriment to my children (in that these conflicts created a reason for my ex-husband to seek out custody as primary parent). The first day I met Julie for a consult about the horrifying condition of my case; she spoke to me with absolute truth (even about the unknown and unpredictable) while having a heart for my biggest concern: the well being of my children as custody was now an issue. Julie’s authenticity and straightforwardness was how I was able to swallow very hard decisions regarding my now vulnerable case. In spite of my “easy” case being wrecked by misfortune on multiple parts, my sole reason aside from what I’ve mentioned above for hiring Julie was that she has been a GAL which is a neutral advocate for what’s best for the children. I knew that she of all other attorneys would know what it meant to put children’s needs first. I saw Julie Caputo’s heart for my children embedded in the first motion she ever wrote on my behalf. Despite the many uphill battles I’ve faced with my seeming broken case, I recall vividly that after reading for the first time how Julie led legal documents/declarations during my first hearing with her, that no matter how this ended I’d land in ultimately what is best for my children with this Relocation. In spite of all the adversity my case came to Julie with, she completely won my case without ever even having to go to trial. Julie never backed down from any threat or bullying behavior from my ex husband or his unprofessional attorney. Julie’s legal approach is what led me to victory and safety for not just my Relocation but more importantly-the BEST outcome for my greatest loves, my children. We are all doing fantastic after such a hard year. Julie saved my family from an impossible situation because she is extraordinary.
