Reviews from past clients
We're a property management company located in Pinellas County, and have worked with Julia's office for several years. We're always pleased with the quality of the legal services provided — happy to recommend her to others!
With us living in Michigan and our parents in Florida, we needed someone we could trust. Julia always communicated swiftly and thoroughly — even with Covid, little delay. Julia McKee will be the only attorney we work with in Florida. We give Julia a perfect “10”!
Attorney McKee was a pleasure to work with. She always listened to my concerns, answered any questions throughout the process, and encouraged my reconsideration of actions that may have served against my benefit. I ultimately came out victorious!
Julia represented my father and myself in a multi-state real estate transaction and went above and beyond. She found a lien on the property and saved us a lot of time, headaches and money. Extremely professional, polite, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable.
Julia J. McKee is an excellent choice to represent you. She is thorough and cares for her clients. She was there for me and my family when we needed her most. I would recommend her to anyone who has need of her excellent skills.
Best communication ever with an attorney — and not a call center.
