Julieta “Julie” Orlando helps individuals and families navigate complex family law matters with clarity, compassion, and practical guidance. Julie’s practice concentrates on matrimonial and domestic issue including divorce, child custody, paternity actions, child and spousal support, property division, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and cases involving same-sex and common-law marriages.
Julie’s clients turn to her for thoughtful and steady guidance during some of life’s most difficult transitions. She brings a collaborative and solution-oriented approach to her clients. Whether negotiating settlements or representing clients in court, Julie prioritizes clear communication and ensures her clients remain informed at every step.
Before becoming an attorney, Julie spent nearly 20 years as a senior association executive for leading international medical organizations in the fields of neuroscience, genetics, and hematology. In that role, she managed multimillion-dollar budgets, led strategic initiatives, and oversaw teams of professionals to deliver educational programs for physicians and researchers. This background strengthened her ability to manage complex situations, coordinate among stakeholders, and problem-solve under pressure—skills that now serve her family law clients well.
Julie’s dedication to family law began during her time at The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law. While there, she served as a student attorney with the Columbus Community Legal Services (CCLS) legal aid clinic, representing clients in family, immigration, and tax matters. Following graduation, she was selected as a Fellow with CCLS, where she continued to advocate for underserved clients.
Her commitment to client service earned her both the Cardinal Hickey Community Service Award and the Clinical Legal Education Association Award, recognizing her outstanding advocacy, dedication to clients, and contributions to the law school’s clinical program.
Julie approaches every case with professionalism, structure, and patience. Clients value her ability to anticipate issues before they arise and her dedication to resolving family law matters efficiently and respectfully.
