I have been meaning to write a follow up on this horrible Folsom resident for a while. Apparently…read moreshe has retired, however, I am still running into others that have been victimized by Wendy. Her damage will go on for years, and will not be easily forgotten. Wendy's advantage was that she required her customers to sign agreements that they would not complain about her, and if anything arose from her mistreatment and biased abused of power in any such complaint, any associated court costs would be covered by those same customers complaining. These were often signed under duress and were always signed before she would meet with you. This allowed her a free check to run with and treat people anyway she wished. Wendy should not be allowed to influence any person's family or to continue to provide any type of counseling mediation services. Only those who benefitted from her perverse and vindictive mediation methods are in support of her.

I'm writing this review years after our family was involved in reunification counseling with Wendy…read moreCampbell, in hopes it will help other families make an informed decision--especially those navigating high-conflict custody cases involving trauma. Wendy Campbell was assigned by the court during a period when my daughter was experiencing significant emotional distress related to visits with her other parent. This was not a custody dispute--I had supported and agreed to 50/50 custody from the beginning, and I was always open to restoring that arrangement as long as it was safe and emotionally appropriate for the children. At the time, the court had temporarily adjusted custody while the other parent completed court-ordered anger management, parenting classes, supervised visitation, and reunification counseling. Wendy met with me only once and from that point forward worked almost exclusively with the other parent, his mother, and the children. Despite my daughter already being under the care of a court-appointed, independent therapist (not chosen by me), Wendy failed to consult with that therapist in any meaningful way for quite some time. When she finally did--only after I requested that the court require it--the therapist later told me the conversation was mostly off-topic, focused on casual "shop talk" about their shared profession, and failed to seriously address my daughter's emotional well-being. My daughter often reported feeling pressured and unsafe during her time with Wendy. She was asked sensitive questions in front of her father, making it impossible to speak freely. She described feeling like Wendy had "picked a side," and did not trust her to advocate for her emotional needs. At the time, my daughter was dealing with severe anxiety, frequent nightmares, and had regressed to sleeping in our bedroom due to distress. Rather than recognizing these as red flags, Wendy attributed her behavior to "parental alienation" without fully investigating the clinical picture or listening to the professionals who were actively supporting my daughter. Her reports to the court included observations like "the child's demeanor changed when her mother arrived to pick her up," implying manipulation--when in fact, trauma-exposed children often exhibit emotional shifts depending on their environment. These simplistic interpretations showed a concerning lack of trauma-informed care. Ultimately, my daughter's therapist submitted a formal letter to the court stating that Wendy had become a source of trauma for my child. The court agreed and removed Wendy from the case. Once Wendy was removed, another professional (Catherine Underwood) took over both the supervised visitation and reunification counseling. The difference was immediate and profound. This counselor made all parties--myself, the other parent, and most importantly, the children--feel heard, safe, and respected. My daughter was able to reestablish contact with her father at a pace that was emotionally safe for her, which also gave me full peace of mind as a parent. It's important to note: the other parent regained 50% custody, exactly as I had supported from the start. The timeline of reunification may have been slowed slightly--by a few weeks at most--but only to create a safe emotional environment for a traumatized child. This was never about delay or alienation; it was about doing reunification the right way. Wendy Campbell failed to maintain neutrality, failed to center the child's experience, and failed to coordinate with professionals already involved. Her actions showed a lack of clinical sensitivity and an alarming bias, which caused unnecessary harm. Based on both personal experience and the court's own conclusion, I would not recommend her for any case involving family trauma, conflict, or high emotional stakes. Families in crisis deserve a counselor who understands the complexity of trauma, child development, and family dynamics. In our case, Wendy Campbell was not that person.

Most negative reviews come from clients who lost their case. This is not one of those situations…read more After being transferred to Ms. Stowell, I spent approximately 18 months under her representation with little to no substantive progress made on my case. Communication became minimal, I was repeatedly asked to resubmit information that had already been provided, and key issues, especially custody, were never meaningfully advanced. This ultimately resulted in roughly two years of delay in securing an updated custody agreement that proved to be in the best interest of my children and myself. I was also encouraged to consider a settlement that was not in my best interest and would have increased my financial burden. After my case was finalized, I took the time to carefully review my experience. My priority with my new representation was seeing the divorce through to completion, not raising disputes mid-process with this firm & Ms. Stowell. After my case was completely wrapped, I then reached out to Ms. Stowell in good faith to address these concerns and her performance directly and in private. The response from the firm focused only on a 10-day billing dispute window and did not address the substance of the issues raised. The contrast after switching attorneys was immediate. Within weeks, my new counsel moved the case forward and achieved a significantly more favorable outcome. The financial settlement was more than double the prior proposals, and the matter was resolved more efficiently and at nearly half the cost. Most importantly, custody was prioritized and resolved within a few months of the transition. This stood in clear contrast to the repeated delays I had previously been given, where I was consistently told action was only a few months away, yet no progress was made. I would also encourage anyone considering Ms. Stowell to look closely at the substance and timing of her reviews across platforms. In my experience, many are dated, clustered, or very general, and do not reflect the level of detail or outcomes that matter in a case like this. Based on my experience and the clear difference in results after changing counsel,I do not recommend this firm or Ms. Stowell.. Beyond the financial outcome, the delay in addressing custody had a meaningful impact on my family, as it prolonged a situation that could have been resolved much earlier with appropriate action.

The Best Family Law Attorney You Could Ask For…read more Juliana is truly an extraordinary attorney and person. From the very beginning, she believed in me and treated me with respect and compassion during one of the most stressful and emotional times of my life. She is thoughtful, thorough, and incredibly well-spoken. Unlike many attorneys in family law, who can sometimes become hardened or impatient with the tears, fears, and high emotions, Juliana shows remarkable patience and understanding. She never makes me feel rushed, and she takes the time to truly hear me out and understand my concerns. What stands out most about Juliana is her ability to handle even the most difficult personalities with grace. My ex has always been challenging to deal with, but Juliana knew exactly how to approach the situation and was able to negotiate firmly yet fairly. She secured exactly the outcome I had been hoping for--something I never thought would be possible. The difference this has made in my life cannot be overstated. Because she is on retainer, my ex finally has boundaries he must respect. That shift alone has greatly improved my quality of life. For the first time in a very long time, I feel like I can breathe. I have the time, space, and emotional security to focus on what matters most: building the relationship I am meant to have with my child. With Juliana's help, we are finally beginning the healing process that I thought might never come. Juliana is not only a skilled attorney but also a genuinely good person. She brings humanity, empathy, and strength into a process that often feels cold and overwhelming. She has made my life better in countless ways, and I am so grateful to have her by my side.

She was attentive, responsive and really fought for me in my never ending custody battle and even gave sound advice even when I stayed out of court with my youngest son's dad threatened to take him from me. Leah managed to get me from a horrible custody arrangement for my oldest where I was driving to meet my ex twice/ day to sole custody (rightfully won). It took us a few years but it was accomplished thanks to her staying on top of things, ensuring to enlighten the court of the other parties lack of interest in our child's well being and development. Leah fought harder for me than anyone ever has and l am eternally grateful for her making all these things happen. She is strong minded, grounded, quick as a whip, a shark in the courtroom, personable and an overall amazing lawyer. Thank you, Leah for all you've done for my family.

Together they make an unbeatable team.

He grossly lacks passion and…read moredrive for his clients cases, and is the classic "court room work group" style "lets make a deal" attorney. He exhibits classic transference behaviors, and becomes bothered by you and bored with your presence after receiving your money. He is habitually unkempt and disorganized, and makes you do all of the legwork even though you are paying him. He spends the majority of his time telling you how he feels about you and your personality, and he will fail to perform tasks like prepping you for mediation and then blame you when the outcome is not ideal. Do not be intelligent or driven when dealing with this guy, and certainly don't feel any passion for the situation you are in, or he will call it "attitude". Its not his job to critique your personality, it is his job to fight your case. I absolutely do not recommend this attorneys services.
