    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. If you are looking for someone who will advocate for you with intelligence, patience, and heart, Juliana is the one. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    After secretly becoming a client of the local Center for Domestic Violence, after 25 years of…read moresecrets, I got courage and traumatically filed for divorce. After my husband's latest abuse, he kidnapped all of our money and I was left desperate and finally filed for spousal support. That's when my husband got an expensive attorney in Sacramento. After a year of his lies and ridiculous actions and so many filings of things like trying to charge me rent and having me move out immediately and reduce special support to zero, (all denied) My husband's attorney fired my husband. After a year on my own, doing all the filings myself- a series of miracles led me to Sandy Hurley of Hurley Legal Services. This wonderful lady, with 25 years experience as a paralegal, helped me to get court ordered permission to sell some of our property to retain an attorney myself. I retained Aaron Dosh as my attorney. An excellent attorney! Still my husband was offering me not one penny of settlement and we were headed to trial -which is very rare in the United States. Only 6% of divorces end up in a trial -but that was going to be us. Enter James Gwinup, in my opinion, the settlement guru of El Dorado County. I am sorry that Mr. Gwynn up had to deal with my husband as his client. But here I am, the opposing party, writing a five-star review on my husband's attorney. He is a miracle worker to get my husband to agree to a settlement - after 2 years of hell. The local county law facilitator, Mr. Michael Friel, assisted me in many ways, and he told me that a settlement is "an amount that I can live with and that I agree to". So, even though it is less than 1/4 of our net worth, I have obtained approximately $200K in cash and property. I credit this miracle to my husband's attorney- Mr James Gwinup. I can't thank you enough, Mr Gwinup, and your office. Thank you also to Sandy Hurley, who has become my dear friend, Aaron Dosh, and his wonderful office, Mr. Michael Friel and all the ladies at the County Clerk's office and Judge Lauren Bowers. And my highest thanks goes to God, Who was with me through this greatest trauma and extremely difficult time of my life. James Gwinup has helped me to secure a settlement large enough to provide for my new future - living without being under the shadow of secret abuse. I would give him ten stars if it was possible. He is kind and knowledgeable and able to deal with the most difficult client. If you need an attorney- this is a settlement miracle worker.
