When it comes to the law in West Virginia, there is little Julie has not seen. With over fifteen years of experience as government counsel and in-house corporate counsel advising on regulatory compliance, consumer protection defense, employment law, privacy, data protection, and complex litigation, she brings a wealth of knowledge to the Firm’s clients.

Prior to joining Jackson Kelly, Julie has spent time in the following practice areas: Consumer Protection Defense; West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act; Automotive Sales and Financing Compliance;  Civil Litigation; Regulatory Compliance; Employment Law; Corporate Governance; Privacy & Data Protection; Firearms Law; FOIA; Restoration of Rights and Expungements; and, Immigration.

Outside of her busy legal practice, Julie loves spending time with friends and family, especially cheering on her niece and nephews at their football, soccer, and volleyball games, band performances, concerts, and theatre productions. She also enjoys being outdoors, whether hiking or spending time with her animals on the farm.

Julie believes in leaving things better than she found them. She has devoted years to outreach and volunteer work through the FBI, American Legion Auxiliary Girls State, her alma mater, and her church. Today, she volunteers in her community by fundraising and helping with local events. She also serves on the board of the Bridgeport High School Alumni and Friends Foundation, which raises scholarship funds for high school seniors pursuing their educational goals.

As if that weren’t enough, Julie has also worked in a variety of roles on several faith-based films.
