Juliette and her paralegal make a great team that made the dissolution of my marriage as easy and painless as possible. They were very clear on what to expect, provided guidance as necessary, and were always available to answers questions promptly as they arose. I also appreciated the clarity in how I was being billed with regular updates of where my balance stood. As I met with two other lawyers prior to choosing Juliette, I believe the fees paid are fair and comparable to others especially for the quality of service obtained. I would definitely recommend Juliette to others.

Ms. Dame assisted me with my divorce and custody issues. While my divorce was civil, there were still many aspects of shared parenting agreements, calculating child and spousal support, and dividing assets that I couldn't have handled on my own. Juliette took her time to explain how the process worked, what information I needed to provide, and was there for all my questions. I felt like I had not only an attorney, but a friend who cared for my best interest. I have referred several clients to her and will continue to do so throughout her career. She is an asset to the Attorney Field.

Contacted Mrs. Dame regarding child support issues, and she was very quick to respond to my email, and gave me all of the advice that I needed to proceed with a proper course of action. I would HIGHLY recommend her!

Juliette is competent and knowledgeable. My biggest disappointment and frustration was the way she handled my case. There were 2 instances where she appeared in judge's chambers with my former spouse's attorney that I found out about after it occurred. I was not kept informed until very late in the proceedings as to what was going on and how she was going to handle the situation. Her assistant always made sure the invoice was sent on time, but responding to my voice mail or email messages took days and sometimes over a week would go by before either of them would answer my questions or concerns. I did a lot of research on my own to defray costs, like checking on my former spouse's pension and did spreadsheets showing how much money I had spent over the years on our children's education, living expenses, my ex spouses legal bills, etc. to prove how negligent he had been over the course of our marriage. All they (my attorney and his) seemed to focus on was how much money I made and how little he made despite the fact that he has been and is still a pot user and that is why he was habitually underemployed. The verbal, mental and psychological abuse I suffered seemed to not even matter so I finally gave up and paid on a settlement which means he won and I lost. At least I'm rid of him now but I truly felt like my attorney and his attorney just decided to wear me down and get it over with.

Avoid like the plague. Not sure exactly what was going on with her but it appears there may have been issues that should have made her recuse herself from my case... instead she acted in the most bizarre fashion possible. I had to fire her and found another lawyer who provided much better representation. Beware, she was lovely initially, then provided no advice, to horrific 'advice'. Wow. She's really that bad.
