Julia will work behind your back to screw you over. If you question her she will quit after taking your money. After looking over Julia's billing records I found that she was having conversations behind my back with my wife. They worked together to set things up for my wife to get a great deal. She does not know family law in MA. She makes things up to support the wife and hurt "men". She is a social Justice worrier from CA, (meaning she does not believe in justice but believes in her own immoral ideas) so she hates MEN that disagree with her. Then as you can see she plays the "he is the problem". Because she did not want to give me a refund for poor survives she took a harassment order against me. She miss lead the court and made a shame of the system. I had to go to court to get the order removed because she made it all up and the judge agreed. Cost me an extra $5000 to take her to court. Side note, she used confidential information from the mediation to take out the harassment order. I could go on with this but I will just say "STAY AWAY" from Julia. She will poison what is left of your marriage and cost you in the end with no results. She still has not returned funds that she holds in escrow. Now she is trying to blame me. Her work had to all be redone by a real attorney costing more. That is why I asked for a refund. I paid Julia $4500 and got nothing but her actions destroyed what was left of my relationship with my wife. The 5-star rating are BS she made them up or they are from the people she set up to scam the other side of the divorce. STAY AWAY STAY AWAY If I could give Zero stars I would. Can't tell you enough to STAY AWAY read more

I contacted Julia after reading an article she wrote on her website where she provided clear and comprehensive information that explained critical factors to be considered (and often overlooked) when negotiating pension benefits from an ex-spouse. I was very impressed that she and her staff took the time to dive into the details of my unique situation. She did this knowing that she couldn't represent me, as I live in a state that she does not practice in. She is professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. As a results of her attention to detail, she gave me the best advice and now I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing just how to move forward in resolving the problem directly. read more

What Julia Rueschemeyer brings to the table: years of experience; the capacity to have both partners, male and female both, feel heard, understood, validated; a deep understanding of the legal system; holding a space of sympathy and efficiency both. She is in the work to help others; one feels this deeply. Not only does she make what could be an onerous process affordable, but she helps create a safe environment where each party, in one of the most difficult life passages, feels that particular needs and goals will be met. She does honor to her work and the profession both: I've already recommended her to many. Without her, we would not have ended up in the harmonious place we have. read more

Julia was the perfect mediator for us. My wife and I were on good terms and wanted to avoid the cost and potential antagonism of an oppositional divorce. Julia delivered! She was warm and empathic to us both, was quite knowledgable about the law as it applied to us (including retirement accounts and QDRO) and was remarkably efficient and focused. When emotions welled--up she was able to gently empathize while also nudging us back on track. My wife and I were both pleased with the process and outcome, and I suspect we are even better friends now thanks to Julia's expert and sensitive help divorcing! read more

Julia was transparent, efficient, fair, responsive (too responsive actually, stop working on weekends, Julia!) and made this process as smooth as it could be. By the time you've decided to divorce, the last thing you want is to keep struggling even longer. Julia prepared all of our documents, made sure we understood everything, and totally prepared us for the day of the hearing so that we could stop struggling and move on. In our case, my ex and I already agreed on almost everything, so there wasn't much to negotiate, but I am grateful for her help navigating the unfamiliar legal world. Thank you. read more

We chose Julia because of the amazing reviews we had read, and she did not disappoint. She was attentive, friendly, and patient as she helped us work through our separation agreement. I very much appreciated her ability to explain things to us in simple terms, help us understand the "norm", and her willingness to support us when we chose to do things a bit outside the box. She uses a sliding scale, which seems just and equitable and, even though we were at the high end of that scale, she ended up being much cheaper than the other mediators we met with in the Boston area. I strongly recommend! read more

Julia *got* all of what we needed so clearly, replied quickly to inquiries, and was accessible and personable even as she kept things efficient and professional. In our case, she was cleaning up after a frustratingly slow and error-ridden mediation experience elsewhere, and it was a tremendous relief to finally feel confident about our separation agreement and other documents. All this, plus seeing us virtually during a personal/family hiatus. Just wonderful! read more

Julia made an extremely difficult and emotional process as smooth as possible. She was prepared and facilitated our two sessions with compassion and an open mind. Julia presented topics we had to discuss and come to terms with, which made the time so worth it. Julia prepared all necessary paperwork and we simply had to sign where she told us to! While I never wish divorce on anyone...if you have to go through the ordeal I highly recommend Julia. read more

Julia was extremely knowledgeable, patient and responsive. Her professionalism and demeanor are exactly what a couple going through this need ... attentive, direct but empathetic and manages the process at your pace. If yours is a situation where mediation is a possibility, I recommend Julia and her team wholeheartedly. You will also have the benefit of a more cost-effective option that provides the desired outcome. read more

I am extremely happy with Julia's services. She was very diplomatic as well as sensitive in shepherding the negotiations between my soon to be ex- husband and myself. We both felt heard, and she made it easy to figure things out. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any couple who finds themselves in this unfortunate situation. read more

Julia was very kind and professional. Having her support made a real difference. I very much appreciate everything she did for us.
