Julie Lucio Richter, principal attorney at The Lucio Law Firm, PLLC, focuses exclusively on Family and Divorce Law. As both a mother and stepmother, Julie deeply understands the stakes and emotions involved in family legal matters. She approaches each case with empathy and collaboration, customizing strategies to fit each client’s needs. Julie holds a Juris Doctorate and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology, and previously served as a counselor and college professor, teaching psychology courses such as Child and Adolescent Psychology and Social Psychology. Her background in psychology enhances her effectiveness in the courtroom—particularly in jury selection, witness examination, and negotiation. Julie is board certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction earned by only about 1% of Texas attorneys. Away from her practice, Julie enjoys time with her husband (a judge), children, grandchildren, and three English Bulldogs. Her interests include crocheting, playing piano, and audiobooks. Julie is affiliated with the State Bar of Texas, American Bar Association, Collin and Dallas County Bar Associations, and Texas Defense Lawyers Association, and is a certified mediator.
