I have had the privilege and honor to be represented by Julie in a complex divorce case that she and her great team gained success and won. After many days of deep reflection post case my thoughts on Julie that I can share to describe her professionally is that she is a Gracious, Extremely Intelligent, Caring, Very Patience attorney with the heart of gentle but clear communication on every subject matter that comes your way sometimes in a moments notice. Her strategic thinking is an incredible asset as you navigate something very hard and don’t see what see sees. She is truly one to Trust whole heartedly in your journey! Blessed to have Julie and her Team ! Ted

She was amazing. Divorce is such a frenzy of emotions and anxieties. Julie eased my mind, was able to calm me down and was a true friend. She absolutely had my back 1000%. She always answered any and all questions in a timely manner 24/7. She was always professional and great with explaining things. She always worked with my schedule. The best part is that she truly cares! I cannot thank her enough!

I had went to about three other lawyers in the Birmingham area and heard at Julie Calloway, I can never thank her and Harold Callaway from the above and beyond job they did on my behalf. I'm grateful and know the kindness, compassion and understanding I got there I could not have gotten any other place. She is very professional and knowledgeable she is humble enough to find answers if she doesn't know. I thank the entire staff for the hard work that ultimately lead to a agreement with my husband instead of court. She worked hard for that, using her only makes sense, I refer anyone asking or sometimes not asking to call her if in the Birmingham area or Harold Calloway in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area. Sincerely, Bonnie Collins

Julie represented me in my divorce case and was feckless, unprofessional, and non-communicative. She caused my very simple case to drag out for three years, due to her being unable to appear for scheduled court dates. She certainly charged for that time, in which she was not doing her job, as well. While the divorce was ultimately settled, I have not received my settlement, one year later, as she has not completed the required paperwork. I am filing a bar complaint against her. Stay far, far, away from this unscrupulous attorney.

Attorney information displayed in this FAQ section is based upon information the lawyer has included on their profile, in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
