In choosing an attorney for my divorce from my wife I was looking for a woman attorney’s perspective. I found Julie to be very knowledgeable, professional, and realistic. Those attributes helped guide me through a long pandemic laden process. Divorce is never easy but Julie helped me get through the process as efficiently as it could be done.
I have had an 'on-going' family court fiasco since 2011/2012. When my original lawyer "quit" after receiving the most recent court motion filed by my ex (2014/2015?)- he recommended Ms. Freeman-Burick @ the Adinolfi&Lieberman firm. I think of myself as an intelligent woman(person)[ as does all of my educational scores], but the specifics in my case could make the most calm (soccer++)mom seem irrational and crazy; which is what was happening to me. Over 6 years ago, I feel that Julie and I both started a new transition; me relying less on my emotion and her understanding that my specific case had tons of emotion involved and was not her typical divorce settlement case; she is a wealth of knowledge in human form-- she literally knows EVERYTHING about Family Law. My case(still in 2021) is such that it has not been able to be actually 'settled'' yet. Julie has moved up within this firm over the years, where she is now a partner, but her passion for the facts and law haven't changed. She is prepared to protect her client's interests with facts and facts and facts. She will not sugar coat anything to make you feel better: she will tell you the truth based on facts and her experiences. Her fee is not cheap. It is best to also keep your own records.
Julie has helped my family and I through a truly unique and complicated custody case. She's not just a knowledgeable and exceptional attorney - she's also like a great coach. During these cases - you have teams (you, your ex, the state, etc.). You have the referee (i.e. the judge). And everyone has their coaches (lawyers). Coaches are there to guide you, map out your strategies, and adjust course when things get off track. That's what Julie does. She watches. She listens. She waits for the right time to say and do the right things. And sometimes coaches (and lawyers) give you the tough love you need. That's what you're paying them for. You may not win every game - sometimes you're just at the mercy of the playing field and the rules. But with Julie by your side, you'll be in excellent hands to do the right things by you and your family.
I was served divorce papers and Julie Burick was recommended to me. Ms. Burick showed the utmost professionalism, respect, and compassion throughout my entire process. She is extremely knowledge of the law. Her advice and guidance was always honest and forthright during my difficult time, when my judgement was often not clear because of being blindsided and a challenging divorce and non-complying spouse. I highly recommend Ms. Burick and her team.
Any experience is tough when dealing with family law. I felt the world was against me because I was dealing with and up against a police officer who was bullying me and trying to replace me as a dad. Julie Burick was my attorney and did an incredible job in bringing justice to my case. All of my parenting time and requests were answered. This person is no longer a police officer either. She is extremely sharp, witty, and caring and no doubt the person you want helping you out.
I have worked with Julie Burick, Esq. on a couple occasions, and have found her to be amazing. She is professional and extremely knowledgeable. I wish I would have known her when dealing with other family law issues - I'm sure it would have saved me a lot of time, money and aggravation. The office staff has been very helpful, and have always made me feel comfortable. My ex-wife's attorney ran over my previous attorney, and left me in a bad position. Julie has really helped to protect my interests as well as those of my children. I strongly recommend working with Adinolfi & Packman in general, and Julie in particular.
Julie took my case over after months of going through a highly contested divorce. She is very knowledgeable, very detail oriented, very attentive to any concerns and questions. She managed to move my case forward quickly after being at a standstill for months. She stood up for my rights as a mother, and for my children's rights in the midst of bold faced lies. She put a stop to the financial games my ex was playing and he was held accountable. She is a no nonsense, extremely effective professional and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Prior to hiring Julie I was spending hundreds of hours researching case-law, all while enduring a hostile co-parenting arrangement, and sustaining a demanding career as the sole bread-winner for all parties involved. It seemed futile, whereas I was doing all of the leg-work and my previous attorneys were just an expensive formality. I was exhausted as neither the Plaintiff, my attorney, the local police department, or the courts seemed empowered to enforce my child's best interests. When I began this journey I was frustrated and determined not to allow anything or anyone to jeopardize my child's livelihood. I needed help with navigating the onslaught of negative allegations, parental rights violations, and administrative hoops that were levied against me as the father and Defendant. How do I ensure the best possible outcome between my child and I? What are my rights? How do I steer around the lies, obstacles, biases, and litany of stigmas that are (and were) inferred about my character from the on-set? I interviewed a handful of attorneys, some who seemed entirely focused on their payment demands, and others who proposed a cookie-cutter approach with little regard for the details of my case. For me the biggest determinant was whether or not my attorney was willing to leverage these details in order to pursue and defend my child's best interests. Julie was and is THAT attorney. I'd been writing my own certifications during the initial court appearances. During the first two years of my custody dispute I'd leveraged AVVO.com for the "how-to's" and guidance on how best to manage an extremely contentious co-parenting relationship. My child and I were being alienated from one-another, and during this time Julie (and team) were the primary responders. Their advice consistently revealed opportunities that my previous attorneys' never bothered to consider nor pursue. Ultimately I hired Julie's firm to represent our case, and I have never looked back since. Julie has been a valiant defender in support of our child with a vast knowledge of the law. She has an even greater knowledge of the social/professional landscape whereas her integrity and experience is evident in the confidence and high regard that her peers (judges, clerks, administrators, and other attorneys) exude. Out of almost 25 hearings over the past 3 years Julie has secured +90% of our expectations/demands each time, regardless of the obstacles presented. This speaks to the reasonableness of her judgment, approach, presented arguments, and certifications filed. Julie is authentic, credible, authoritative, and tenacious. Custody disputes are emotionally taxing, and I have asked Julie at least 1000 questions over the course of our tenure together. Julie has consistently researched, confirmed, and conveyed each answer in a palatable manner in which I was able to digest. As a result I have been able to successfully course-correct when required. The Plaintiff was tirelessly manipulative, and took extreme measures to complicate, delay, and extend our case. My character and even fitness as a parent were under constant attack. Throughout each turn of events Julie never lamented or sought the "convenient" compromise. She fought tooth and nail for my child's well-being, likened more to an aunt or close relative as opposed to our attorney. She is a staunch advocate and protector who is unrelenting in the pursuit of her client's best interest. She is an outstanding writer and orator, who's tactical approach, communication style, and keen attention to detail articulately cut to the chase, and dismantle any vague or otherwise less credible hearsay. She get's to the bottom-line and cuts to the bone. I highly recommend Julie without reservation - best decision you will ever make!
5 Stars does not begin to rate what a wonderful attorney and astonishing person Julie Freeman Burick has proven herself to be. I have been a client of hers since July of 2013, when she accidentally landed on my case. For almost 2 years, Julie has consistently responded to my every concern, every email and every phone call. She seems to have a photographic memory of names, dates, and important events, and most importantly she knows the law inside and out. (I've actually witnessed the judge borrow her law book and refer to her when he had a question, as she is NEVER unprepared nor is she underprepared.) I often forget that I am not her only client, as she diligently fighting for my case. She is an incredible advocate for her clients. For two years she has kept me informed on every single tiny detail that has came up during this "adventure", and when I'm burnt out, she is a great cheerleader. I am sure I can say that she knows way more about me and my children than I know myself. Julie has never come across as untrustworthy or unknowledgeable, and when she is not sure about something, she never guesses. She reads and discusses with colleagues to find the best possible answer or solution. We have been through unimaginable circumstances and events in these two years, and she stood by my side for every single one! I'm proud to call her my attorney and now I am even more proud to call her my friend. I am going to miss her greatly when we win my case!!!!!!
Divorce is an ugly thing, but I truly have to say, without Julie Freeman, I don't think I would have made it through the nightmare. From day one, I knew I was in the best hands possible. She is smart, diligent, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She took the time to explain everything to me in detail. Her courtroom performance was aggressive and she left no stone unturned. Whenever I called, she answered or got right back to me quickly. She was on top of every single issue that arose in my case. You hear horror stories all the time about divorce lawyers....I am the opposite, I can't say enough positive things about mine. Julie even took time out of her personal life for me. She worked late hours on my case and would called me in the evenings and weekends to answer any questions I had. When I was panicked, she kept me calm and reassured that everything would be ok.....it was, thanks to her tenacity and wisdom of the legal system. She stopped at nothing to protect my interests and for that, I will be eternally grateful. Julie is not only my attorney, but I proudly consider her a friend for life. She truly cares about you and what happens. If I had to do it all again, there would be no question, I would only use Julie Freeman.

She seems to have a photographic memory of names, dates, and important events, and most importantly she knows the law inside and out. (I've actually witnessed the judge borrow her law book and refer to her when he had a question, as she is NEVER unprepared nor is she underprepared.) I often forget that I am not her only client, as she diligently fighting for my case. She is an incredible advocate for her clients. For two years she has kept me informed on every single tiny detail that has came up during this "adventure", and when I'm burnt out, she is a great cheerleader. I am sure I can say that she knows way more about me and my children than I know myself. Julie has never come across as untrustworthy or unknowledgeable, and when she is not sure about something, she never guesses. She reads and discusses with colleagues to find the best possible answer or solution. We have been through unimaginable circumstances and events in these two years, and she stood by my side for every single one! I'm proud to call her my attorney and now I am even more proud to call her my friend. I am going to miss her greatly when we win my case!!!!!!
Divorce is an ugly thing, but I truly have to say, without Julie Freeman, I don't think I would have made it through the nightmare. From day one, I knew I was in the best hands possible. She is smart, diligent, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She took the time to explain everything to me in detail. Her courtroom performance was aggressive and she left no stone unturned. Whenever I called, she answered or got right back to me quickly. She was on top of every single issue that arose in my case. You hear horror stories all the time about divorce lawyers....I am the opposite, I can't say enough positive things about mine. Julie even took time out of her personal life for me. She worked late hours on my case and would called me in the evenings and weekends to answer any questions I had. When I was panicked, she kept me calm and reassured that everything would be ok.....it was, thanks to her tenacity and wisdom of the legal system. She stopped at nothing to protect my interests and for that, I will be eternally grateful. Julie is not only my attorney, but I proudly consider her a friend for life. She truly cares about you and what happens. If I had to do it all again, there would be no question, I would only use Julie Freeman.
