"Every step of the way, Julia was there. She was extremely organized, anticipated questions, she held our hands (figuratively), and walked us through all of the proceedings. She knew her stuff, and it showed. There is nobody I would rather have on my side than Julia Rice when a lawyer is actually needed. And when you don’t need a lawyer, Julia is a fun and interesting person to have a coffee with."
