Client Comments

Julia Best Chase helped me through my divorce with compassion and dignity. Julia is extremely knowledgeable and caring. She is head and shoulders above the other firms I interviewed for my divorce that is why I hired her. Julia was the only one who would look me in the eye! Julia’s expertise got me the results I wanted and needed. I highly recommend Julia Best Chase for your legal needs.

From day one, Ms. Chase was optimistic but realistic, precise but concise, disarming but professional, and already in my corner without being adversarial towards other parties. She answered all questions and explained many scenarios. I felt at ease with her demeanor and confident in her expertise and integrity. All parties took part in a collaborative process that served our family best. It was a difficult case that would have been much rockier and more detrimental to our family had the collaboration not been managed and guided by Ms. Chase. She is a strong advocate with a lengthy trial history that she uses to strategize every step of the way. I'm not only still standing; my foundation and outlook are stronger than I could have imagined or ever realized with other representation. Firm financial footing was a key element but maintaining strong relationships is her and her clients' number one focus.

Honest, Professional and Caring. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you, Ms. Julia! After your office took over my case, I began to feel secure and confident, for the first time. I truly appreciate all the help, support, and guidance, I received from you, Stephanie, and all of your staff members who helped me reach the finish line. I am so relieved after 7 years of expensive and brutal litigation, my case is finally over. For the first 5 years, I had different attorneys representing my case and I lost a lot during that time. It wasn't until after you took over my case, that I was able to protect the most important aspects of my life, my son, and the finances that I have to start a new journey. Your experience and advice are exceptional! I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful support and help!

Compassionate, Caring and an Angel. Julia is literally a Godsend-- I was at my breaking point facing criminal contempt charges on a short-term (7 year) no children divorce proceedings -- 6 years of depositions and 19 Request for Production of Documents (no privacy ever- had to provide my credit card and bank statements every 4 months) I was beaten down and severely depressed not to mention the financial stress of 6 years of contentious divorce hearings and two trials and an appeal later-- Julia came into my life to defend me on the Criminal Contempt charges- yes, I was facing 6 months- to 1 year in jail for not being able to make money during COVID and pay the Temp Support Order which had not been in place for 6 years.. What is Temporary about that? I was very frustrated and lacked confidence in the legal process, courts and lawyers when Julia asked me to trust her. This was easier said than done as I had heard those same words from four (4) previous attorneys who all made my case worse-- not better. Julia held my hand and allowed me to cry and be frustrated while continuing to move forward cleaning up the mess that was created by previous counsel and a court system that was not caught up to dealing with a Pandemic. 14 months after meeting Julia-- she had cleaned up the mess and officially ended the 6 plus years and Malicious prosecution from my Ex-Wife’s attorney who only saw Dollars in his eyes when he saw me. I have the luxury now of looking back in hindsight and ask myself often how much different the last 6 years would have been had I known and hired Julia from the start? Don’t make the mistake I made - use this review as a "teachable moment" and take advantage of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that could have gone to my retirement instead of opposing counsel's pocket.

Happy Client. I am so grateful that I hired Julia Best Chase! She truly took care of my needs during a difficult divorce. Her experience and brilliant mind leads her to think outside of the box for each situation as needed. And more than that, she has a tremendous heart for her clients! This is what she did more me. Thank you Julia. You are a Godsend.

Julia helped me through a difficult time. Julia is great. She helped me walk through a hard, confusing, frustrating process that I wanted no part of. However, she explained the process well, walked through step by step, listened to complaints, frustrations, crazy questions and was very available, patient, calm (when I was not), and fair. I pray you don't have to go through this process, however, if regrettably you do, Julia will work for you in a professional, courteous, timely, constructive way.

Julia did an excellent job on my divorce case. It was not an easy case. The father was being quite difficult. I hired her after I had hired a different lawyer, and I needed to change lawyers. She accepted me. And my divorce was ugly! She did a good job 🙂

Julia is very straight forward, honest and fierce. She handled my case with professional courtesy, superb knowledge and confidence. She worked around my erratic work schedule and kept me informed all the way. Her office staff is efficient and compassionate. I felt comfortable that my best interest was at the forefront at all times. Thank you Julia and team for giving me my life back and an outlook to a brilliant future.

Julia Chase Best is an outstanding attorney. Julia Chase Best helped me through a very difficult time in my life. When I first came to her I was indecisive on what course of action and what alternatives were available to protect my assets and earnings as well as my marriage. She suggested a post nuptial that would establish guidelines while we worked on our problems. Unfortunately, after 5 years, I came back to seek a final divorce. She not only walked me through the many steps of the divorce, but she also provided a moral compass, when my feelings got in the way of progress. She was patient and made herself available when I needed guidance or a listening ear as I processed the failed marriage. Her expertise and knowledge of the complex legal issues helped me to see the bigger picture and kept me calm during the many steps needed to accomplish my goals. She was not only my legal counsel, she became my trusted confidant. I am eternally grateful.

What I liked best about how this firm handled my case was that I felt respected, supported and genuinely cared for.

In the course of my 3 year divorce, I have had the opportunity to have working relationships with quite a few law firms in the Tampa Bay area. I have had to go to court so often to defend myself against motions my ex-wife filed that, as a lay person, I probably have more court exposure than some lawyers do. You know you've spent too much time in hearings when you've gone to the top floor of the court house in downtown Tampa during recesses and you've been able to look at all the portraits of all the judges who ever served in Hillsborough County. Some of the lawyers I've dealt with were utter scum, some just wanted to suck you dry by keeping the case alive just to get the cash flow going, some were quite good. After my divorce languished in court for over two years with no sign of resolution, I hired Julia Chase and her team. Amazingly, under her guidance, the case finally gained traction and was brought to a very successful conclusion. Julia's performance in the final divorce hearings was quite impressive to say the least. She completely destroyed the credibility of my ex as well as that of her main witness, it was a pleasure to watch this epic performance. I believe Julia is a former assistant prosecutor, it showed. The final divorce document her team wrote is a master piece of eloquence which vindicated me completely after having been on the receiving end of no less than 22 motions to compel, numerous motions for discovery, requests from forensic accountants, interventions from guardians and psychologists with each accusation crazier than the preceding one over the last three years. The end result is that I won 50% custody for my 10 year old son over continued and persistent objections of my ex-wife. I was also able to get satisfaction over numerous other important issues. After having had such excellent legal help, one tends to rightfully judge quite harshly previous law firms who greatly suffer the comparison to Julia and her team.

Absolutely Outstanding Attorney - Best Decision I Ever Made. Hiring Julia Chase to represent me in my divorce case involving children was the best decision I ever made. From beginning to end, each step of the process was timely communicated and thoroughly explained. The office staff is a true team, and the office runs like a well-oiled machine - top notch communication between clients and staff; and excellent organizational skills. Julia is very experienced and has an outstanding reputation in her field. She is very skillful, clever, confident and operates with the highest degree of integrity. I could go on and on. The bottom line is Julia is an absolutely outstanding attorney. I cannot emphasize enough how highly I recommend Julia Chase to anyone seeking representation in family law. Thanks so much Julia!

Divorce lawyer with expertise and connections. Julia was so skilled in her expertise in helping my ex-wife and I come to a fair and accepted resolution of our marriage. She performed an in-depth financial analysis to guide us on what would be fair. She reviewed our original draft line by line to make sure there were no errors or loopholes. Finally, her advice helped us resolve the dissolution of our marriage in record time while not sacrificing attention to detail. I highly recommend her helping you through a difficult time.

Compassionate and Effective: Julia not only represented me effectively, but helped me get through the most difficult time in my life. I am myself a lawyer. I know how rare good lawyers can be. Julia is one of those, and she exemplifies integrity. I can commend her to anyone with my very highest recommendation.

Julia Best Chase came highly recommended by a family friend. I feel very fortunate to have found an attorney with integrity, genuine concern for my case, and knowledge of family law. Mine was an alimony case which my ex-wife was awarded permanent, life-time, alimony. When her circumstances changed, to her good, we found she was no longer in need of the support. The matter was resolved in mediation through Ms. Chase' tenacious, professional persistence. We came to an agreement we both could live with and didn't have to proceed to court. Ms. Chase surpassed my expectations. I was very happy with the outcome and I appreciate the hours Ms. Chase, and her team, worked to get me to this place. I would recommend Julia to anyone in need of great representation!

To the entire Chase Law Office,

What an amazing group of professionals you have been! The genuine concern you have shown toward your client has made a lasting impression. We have counted you as a true blessing!

Your client has had a huge burden lifted off of him in the way of alimony. Although it will be another 12 months of paying less there will be a “light at the end of the tunnel”.

We are happy with the outcome and want you to know how much we appreciate the hours you have worked to get us to this place! Kudos to all of you!

Thank you so much for everything you do. I prayed that this mess would soon be over. I am doing just fine now with my children and life and that keeps me focused. I want to thank your office staff also. I appreciate your wisdom and your energy. Thank you again.

I was referred to Julia Best Chase while going through a bitter child support/child custody/alimony battle with my ex-wife. Julia was prompt, knowledgeable, courteous, and always completely frank and open with me about the realities and possible expectations of the outcome of my case. She demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, a bedrock of knowledge of family law and I am very satisfied with the representation I received from her and the companionate, professional and effective office staff. Every time I became anxious or nervous she reassured me everything was moving along accordingly and always had kind words for me. She is a tremendously talented divorce trial attorney who genuinely cares about her client's best interests and in my case my daughter’s best interest as well. Thank you so much Julia, you are the BEST!!!

Addressed my questions, concerns, and fears and transformed them into hope, confidence, and opportunity. You have definitely been a Godsend, role model, advocate, and a thermostat rather than just a thermometer.

Julia represented me during a DVI from my then-wife and successfully had the case dismissed. She also handled my rather unusual divorce with patience, professionalism and aplomb. Julie genuinely cares about her clients and her diligent preparation, dedication and follow-through yields real results. I highly recommend Julia and her legal team to anyone facing a family law case.

Satisfied with the representation of the attorneys and the services of the paralegal and staff. Everyone was very hands on, got things done quickly and were very understanding.

Words could not even express my gratitude for having Mrs. Chase and staff represent me and my daughter in such a high conflict and emotionally charged family matter case that could've been a life threatening and ever changing experience if not represented correctly.

Out of two cases worked (Hearing and Trial) both Judges found her counsel and testimony to be extremely persuasive. We were handled with care from beginning to the end. All my questions and concerns were answered with prompt response and effective legal advice. I would highly recommend Mrs. Chase to anyone who is looking for an honest and hardworking qualified lawyer with superb service and outstanding office staff that is courteous and professional...look no further this is the one for you.

To me she is worth every dollar spent, most certainly no case is the same but out of thousands of lawyers out there I would rather deal with someone that gets results, pays careful attention to fine details and shows the work to back it up with. She's a total blessing, I thank God for having Mrs. Julia Chase, you will not be disappointed.

Patience, commitment, diligent research, very detailed.

Personal attention, quick response, friendliness.

I liked Julie going toe-to-toe/head-to-head with my husband after one of our court appearances. She taught me the word “sophistry”. Overall, I am thrilled with the service and will gladly recommend your firm!

I would have gone “batty” without you. Thank you so much for all your support and advice over the last year. I would love to keep in touch and have a drink with you. Please call me if you would like to set up a day after work. Thank you again for EVERYTHING!

Julia was a great lawyer and did a wonderful job helping me through the entire divorce process. She was extremely knowledgeable and did a good job explaining everything to me, even if it took several times for me to "get it". She was with me every step of the way and I felt she handled everything with utmost professionalism which I greatly appreciated. Not only did she do a great job as my lawyer she also acted as a counselor to me, helping me get through that difficult time of my life. So to Julia and her staff I would like to say a big thank you and keep up the great work.

Even with my case and new ground, we worked together and came to a good ending. Thank you. I’m happy with all of your services and advice.

Thank you for all that you are doing and for all that you have done.

Impressive, professional and caring lawyer! I appreciated Julia’s direct and candid responses. Her ‘no nonsense’, professional and honest approach was refreshing. She was accessible and provided just enough ’hand holding’ when I needed it. She was patient in explaining the legal step-by-step process of divorce and did a fabulous job of explaining the various legal jargon in a man on the street way!

We want to thank you for all your efforts on our behalf over the past two years. You came highly recommended to us when we were searching for legal help and the recommendations proved very accurate. When the discussion and decisions came fast and furious at the trial and we decided to settle on an amount that would guarantee a more stable situation, taking a more certain and costly path, we never lost our longstanding faith in your abilities to guide events towards the best outcome for all involved. It was the fickle Florida judicial system that influenced our decision to “make the deal”, not our uncertainty that your advice was the best.

You both, professional to the core, were not only extremely thorough and competent but also made every effort to understand your client’s needs. Your kindness was, and is, greatly appreciated and your professionalism highly respected. Thanks to both you and your staff for your fine representation and friendship.

Right from the start Ms. Chase wanted to know everything about my case. We discussed what my expectations were and her experience in dealing with this type of issue. She explained everything up front and explained the best way to proceed. She answered all my questions and concerns and wanted to make sure I was confident about the best strategy to implement in order to move forward. There were no surprises and I was kept informed on the process as necessary providing me with the information to prevent any surprises of what could happen in our potential court appearance. As it turned out my case was settled out of court but she was well prepared to represent me with expert to give testimony if necessary. Not only was Ms. Chase professional, honest and result driven she had compassion and wanted me to know she was not going to leave any rock un-turned to provide me with the best chance to win my case. Her entire staff were friendly and always willing to help no matter what question I posed. They would find out the answer and get back to me in a timely manner. I have the utmost respect and confidence in hiring Ms. Chase again. If you need an attorney and you want someone who will represent you to the best of their ability or if necessary consult with an expert for your best interest there is no other choice than to hire Ms. Chase. I know this from spending over 20 years as a law enforcement officer.

Julia is not only knowledgeable, she also cares deeply for the well-being of her clients. She patiently explained my options and explained several times until I was able to make a good choice for my unique needs. She was flexible in meeting times, and followed through with emails when I was unable to come in for an appointment. Julia is a person of integrity and I felt comfortable knowing that she was looking out for me. She is not your typical attorney. She responds quickly, and researches to provide a variety of options (with pros and cons of each option) from which to choose. I would highly recommend her.

Great work on my case!!! It was difficult going through my case during COVID but all in all she was awesome during mediation and lead me through the whole process with ease.

Thank you so much Julia , you are the BEST!!!

Words can’t express how grateful I am for everyone’s help. You’ve worked so hard helping me to reach an agreement and finally be able to move on with my life. You ladies are a godsend. Thank you so much!

Mrs. Chase is incredibly savvy, wise, strategic, as well as compassionate. Her resume is extensive with various specialties in her background which means that if your case is complicated, she has the unique ability to see all legal sides and strategize accordingly. Do not be scared off by her fees, because for one thing, if your family is on the line, you absolutely need her. Secondly, she is very careful and responsible with your money, and will be very fair in her billing. Julia is kind and compassionate, and will do her best to bring peace to you as you go through this. She also will not fill your head with bravado and false confidence; she will tell you every possibility and worst case scenario, which you need to hear in order to make the right decisions. No lawyer has a crystal ball, so run from any of them that tell you what your outcome is going to be. Julia has chops, I can tell you, and she is terrifying to the other side while maintaining professionalism and class.

Addressed my questions, concerns, and fears and transformed them into hope, confidence, and opportunity. You have definitely been a Godsend, role model, advocate, and a thermostat rather than just a thermometer.

It sounds very cliché to say your lawyer was a knight in shining armor, however, that is literally what Julia Best Chase was to my family. In a world where grandparents virtually have no rights and the compassion of others’ lives between the lines of the law, and the heart, or best interest of the actual child somehow gets lost, this wonderful person, never gave my family false hope and never stopped fighting! She was 100% honest about the potential outcome, but assured us she would stay committed to the case, and that she did! For 3 years, I watched her skillfully research and counsel my family through many ups and downs. She was in constant communication with us about every aspect of the case, her compassion and dedication, we will never forget! Her knowledge in her craft is unparalleled, and my family trusts her with our lives! As I close this review, I am fighting back tears, as this wonderful "knight with a heart", gave my family the greatest gift we could ever receive. I will always pray that God continues to bless her every step. And if you are reading this review, simply stated: this lady saved my family, and for that, we will ALWAYS be grateful.

Honest, Professional and Caring. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you, Ms. Julia! After your office took over my case, I began to feel secure and confident, for the first time. I truly appreciate all the help, support, and guidance, I received from you, Stephanie, and all of your staff members who helped me reach the finish line.

Your experience and advice are exceptional! I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful support and help!

Life Saver. Choosing Julia was the best decision after getting served my injunction. I was overwhelmed with what could happen if this wasn't dismissed and her compassion for my situation is something you can't buy. Most importantly, she is an experienced, organized, dedicated, honest, and meticulous lawyer. Julia explained the entire processes of trial and prepared me well for the big day. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer!

I would like to say thank you for Julia Chase what an amazing experience as she has been with me though all of this and then finally our day comes and I have to say, I think that Judge was going to toss our case and would have if not for this amazing attorney. She plead my case with such passion and was so convincing it was unbelievable I had never seen anything like that and she was just outstanding. In my opinion the Judge was a little leading with the other side. I think he came in thinking we would just walk away but, thanks to Julia Chase we got our day and she laid it all out there so he couldn’t say no. She won our case and he now has a 2 year injunction.

Honest, straightforward, encouraging, wise, protective, comforting, strategic, long range thinking, timely, communicative. Thank you for your services.

Out of two cases worked (Hearing and Trial) both Judges found her counsel and testimony to be extremely persuasive. We were handled with care from beginning to the end. All my questions and concerns were answered with prompt response and effective legal advice. I would highly recommend Mrs. Chase to anyone who is looking for an honest and hardworking qualified lawyer with superb service and outstanding office staff that is courteous and professional...look no further this is the one for you.

To me she is worth every dollar spent, most certainly no case is the same but out of thousands of lawyers out there I would rather deal with someone that gets results, pays careful attention to fine details and shows the work to back it up with. She's a total blessing, I thank God for having Mrs. Julia Chase, you will not be disappointed.

“In 2013, I was blindsided in being served with a domestic violence injunction where I was removed from my home. In shock and with a hearing scheduled for a week later, I reached out to a friend who suggested Julia Best Chase to handle this matter and when I contacted her office she agreed to see me that afternoon understanding the urgency of the situation. Not having gone through anything like this before I expected the meeting to be brief and was surprised when our meeting lasted 3 hours and that was even before electing to retain her services. In working with Julia she was a tremendous help in keeping my hopes up, my expectations in check and soliciting my help in furthering my case in preparing for the hearing as the consequences in losing were extremely serious. When the case went before the judge we were well prepared and the outcome was favorable as the judge determined the allegations were without merit in what seemed to be nothing short of a peculiar turn of events.

Selecting Julia to handle this matter for me was a tremendous benefit and one of the best decisions I could have made. Her expertise made the process easier to navigate and the outcome could not have been better. Furthermore, her demeanor was supportive in dealing with such an emotional matter and the stress and anxiety of having to contend with such an allegation. I would recommend Julia Best Chase without hesitation to anyone in need of legal help in dealing with matters such as this as she truly is a gem in the legal community.”

I have been so blessed to meet Mrs. Julia, her team Laura, Ashley, Stephanie. I have been going through a difficult custody battle. I made some bad choices in life. It took me hitting rock bottom before I was ready to change and turn my life over to God. See God knew I needed an intelligent, caring, quick on her feet attorney, so he led me to her. I told her my story how I had been mentally and even some physical abuse by my son's father. How I was a recovering addict and used to be an exotic dancer. I told her how God saved me with his grace and mercy. I was so scared of how she and her team would react to me and if they would look down on me. To my surprise they didn't run me off with a pitchfork. Mrs. Julia and her team sat across from me with caring eyes and a sweet smile. Mrs. Julia told me not to be ashamed, my past doesn't defy the person I am now. She gave me hope and encouragement to go fight my Goliath. If you’re up against your Goliath, then you should turn to God and throw your stone (my stone was Mrs. Julia) and defeat the giant. God gave me a second chance at being a mother and he used Mrs. Julia to help me. Mrs. Julia and her team are a part of my life now, each one of them has left their fingerprints on my life. They will always have a special place in my heart. With Mrs. Julia Best Chase and her team you don't just hire an attorney, you find a friend. I pray that God blesses everyone that comes in contact with Mrs. Julia, one of Gods mighty warriors. I can't put into words how blessed I am for all that you have done and all that you’re still doing. The only thing I know to do is pay it forward every chance I get. Thank You! Thank You! God Bless!

Thank you so much for everything you do. I prayed that this mess would soon be over. I am doing just fine now with my children and life and that keeps me focused. I want to thank your office staff also. I appreciate your wisdom and your energy. Thank you again.

Addressed my questions, concerns, and fears and transformed them into hope, confidence, and opportunity. You have definitely been a Godsend, role model, advocate, and a thermostat rather than just a thermometer.

It sounds very cliché to say your lawyer was a knight in shining armor, however, that is literally what Julia Best Chase was to my family. In a world where grandparents virtually have no rights and the compassion of others’ lives between the lines of the law, and the heart, or best interest of the actual child somehow gets lost, this wonderful person, never gave my family false hope and never stopped fighting! She was 100% honest about the potential outcome, but assured us she would stay committed to the case, and that she did! For 3 years, I watched her skillfully research and counsel my family through many ups and downs. She was in constant communication with us about every aspect of the case, her compassion and dedication, we will never forget! Her knowledge in her craft is unparalleled, and my family trusts her with our lives! As I close this review, I am fighting back tears, as this wonderful "knight with a heart", gave my family the greatest gift we could ever receive. I will always pray that God continues to bless her every step. And if you are reading this review, simply stated: this lady saved my family, and for that, we will ALWAYS be grateful.

Great work on my case!!! It was difficult going through my case during COVID but all in all she was awesome during mediation and lead me through the whole process with ease.

I was referred to Julia Best Chase while going through a bitter child support/child custody/alimony battle with my ex-wife. Julia was prompt, knowledgeable, courteous, and always completely frank and open with me about the realities and possible expectations of the outcome of my case. She demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, a bedrock of knowledge of family law and I am very satisfied with the representation I received from her and the companionate, professional and effective office staff. When it was time to go to trial she was completely ready for it. Every time I became anxious or nervous she reassured me everything was moving along accordingly and always had kind words for me. She is a tremendously talented divorce trial attorney who genuinely cares about her client's best interests and in my case my daughters best interest as well.
Thank you so much Julia , you are the BEST!!!

Absolutely Outstanding Attorney - Best Decision I Ever Made. Hiring Julia Chase to represent me in my divorce case involving children was the best decision I ever made. From beginning to end, each step of the process was timely communicated and thoroughly explained. The office staff is a true team, and the office runs like a well-oiled machine - top notch communication between clients and staff; and excellent organizational skills. Julia is very experienced and has an outstanding reputation in her field. She is very skillful, clever, confident and operates with the highest degree of integrity. I could go on and on. The bottom line is Julia is an absolutely outstanding attorney. I cannot emphasize enough how highly I recommend Julia Chase to anyone seeking representation in family law. Thanks so much Julia!

In the course of my 3 year divorce, I have had the opportunity to have working relationships with quite a few law firms in the Tampa Bay area. I have had to go to court so often to defend myself against motions my ex-wife filed that, as a lay person, I probably have more court exposure than some lawyers do. You know you've spent too much time in hearings when you've gone to the top floor of the court house in downtown Tampa during recesses and you've been able to look at all the portraits of all the judges who ever served in Hillsborough County. Some of the lawyers I've dealt with were utter scum, some just wanted to suck you dry by keeping the case alive just to get the cash flow going, some were quite good. After my divorce languished in court for over two years with no sign of resolution, I hired Julia Chase and her team. Amazingly, under her guidance, the case finally gained traction and was brought to a very successful conclusion. Julia's performance in the final divorce hearings was quite impressive to say the least. She completely destroyed the credibility of my ex as well as that of her main witness, it was a pleasure to watch this epic performance. I believe Julia is a former assistant prosecutor, it showed. The final divorce document her team wrote is a master piece of eloquence which vindicated me completely after having been on the receiving end of no less than 22 motions to compel, numerous motions for discovery, requests from forensic accountants, interventions from guardians and psychologists with each accusation crazier than the preceding one over the last three years. The end result is that I won 50% custody for my 10 year old son over continued and persistent objections of my ex-wife. I was also able to get satisfaction over numerous other important issues. After having had such excellent legal help, one tends to rightfully judge quite harshly previous law firms who greatly suffer the comparison to Julia and her team.

Words could not even express my gratitude for having Mrs. Chase and staff represent me and my daughter in such a high conflict and emotionally charged family matter case that could've been a life threatening and ever changing experience if not represented correctly.

Out of two cases worked (Hearing and Trial) both Judges found her counsel and testimony to be extremely persuasive. We were handled with care from beginning to the end. All my questions and concerns were answered with prompt response and effective legal advice. I would highly recommend Mrs. Chase to anyone who is looking for an honest and hardworking qualified lawyer with superb service and outstanding office staff that is courteous and professional...look no further this is the one for you.

To me she is worth every dollar spent, most certainly no case is the same but out of thousands of lawyers out there I would rather deal with someone that gets results, pays careful attention to fine details and shows the work to back it up with. She's a total blessing, I thank God for having Mrs. Julia Chase, you will not be disappointed.

With the passing of their mother, the well-being of 2 young teenagers was at stake. Julia Chase stepped in and crossed counties to ensure these teens had a loving, stable home. This was in 2004, we are still together as a family today and we thank God for her intervention and knowledge handling the intricacies of this case, as we were not blood relatives to these teens. A dedicated, professional, tenacious and kind lawyer, I would highly encourage you to contact her if you are in need.

Great work on my case!!! It was difficult going through my case during COVID but all in all she was awesome during mediation and lead me through the whole process with ease.

You are awesome! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. When I tell others my story I will tell everyone how much time and effort you put into helping me.

Thank you for the outstanding job you did for the client. He was very happy with your representation. And I am appreciative to have such a talented and capable colleague over there I can refer cases to, and know they are in excellent hands.

Have a blessed day and remember, if you are ever on our side of the coast we’d love to see you.

I would have gone “batty” without you. Thank you so much for all your support and advice over the last year. I would love to keep in touch and have a drink with you. Please call me if you would like to set up a day after work. Thank you again for EVERYTHING!

Julia, you and your staff felt like a second family. I enjoyed the heart and determination you had with every part of this case. You represented me and my daughter as though she was your daughter; it showed how much you care.

Don’t change anything, just keep doing a wonderful job. Continue to have passion in what you do. I thank you for everything. Words can’t describe my gratitude for what you have done for me and my family.

Honest, Professional and Caring. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you, Ms. Julia! After your office took over my case, I began to feel secure and confident, for the first time. I truly appreciate all the help, support, and guidance, I received from you, Stephanie, and all of your staff members who helped me reach the finish line. I am so relieved after 7 years of expensive and brutal litigation, my case is finally over. For the first 5 years, I had different attorneys representing my case and I lost a lot during that time. It wasn't until after you took over my case, that I was able to protect the most important aspects of my life, my son, and the finances that I have to start a new journey. Your experience and advice are exceptional! I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful support and help!

Compassionate, Caring and an Angel. Julia is literally a Godsend-- I was at my breaking point facing criminal contempt charges on a short-term (7 year) no children divorce proceedings -- 6 years of depositions and 19 Request for Production of Documents (no privacy ever- had to provide my credit card and bank statements every 4 months) I was beaten down and severely depressed not to mention the financial stress of 6 years of contentious divorce hearings and two trials and an appeal later-- Julia came into my life to defend me on the Criminal Contempt charges- yes, I was facing 6 months- to 1 year in jail for not being able to make money during COVID and pay the Temp Support Order which had not been in place for 6 years.. What is Temporary about that? I was very frustrated and lacked confidence in the legal process, courts and lawyers when Julia asked me to trust her. This was easier said than done as I had heard those same words from four (4) previous attorneys who all made my case worse-- not better. Julia held my hand and allowed me to cry and be frustrated while continuing to move forward cleaning up the mess that was created by previous counsel and a court system that was not caught up to dealing with a Pandemic. 14 months after meeting Julia-- she had cleaned up the mess and officially ended the 6 plus years and Malicious prosecution from my Ex-Wife’s attorney who only saw Dollars in his eyes when he saw me. I have the luxury now of looking back in hindsight and ask myself often how much different the last 6 years would have been had I known and hired Julia from the start? Don’t make the mistake I made - use this review as a "teachable moment" and take advantage of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that could have gone to my retirement instead of opposing counsel's pocket.

Light at the End of the Tunnel. Julia Best Chase came highly recommended by a family friend. I feel very fortunate to have found an attorney with integrity, genuine concern for my case, and knowledge of family law. Mine was an alimony case which my ex-wife was awarded permanent, life-time, alimony. When her circumstances changed, to her good, we found she was no longer in need of the support. The matter was resolved in mediation through Ms. Chase's tenacious, professional persistence. We came to an agreement we both could live with and didn't have to proceed to court. Ms. Chase surpassed my expectations. I was very happy with the outcome and I appreciate the hours Ms. Chase, and her team, worked to get me to this place. I would recommend Julia to anyone in need of great representation!

Divorce lawyer with expertise and connections. Julia was so skilled in her expertise in helping my ex-wife and I come to a fair and accepted resolution of our marriage. She performed an in-depth financial analysis to guide us on what would be fair. She reviewed our original draft line by line to make sure there were no errors or loopholes. Finally, her advice helped us resolve the dissolution of our marriage in record time while not sacrificing attention to detail. I highly recommend her helping you through a difficult time.

You were always direct, prepared and ready to fight for me. You made me feel empowered! You guys rock!

I have known Julia Best Chase since she was at Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office.

I divorced my ex-wife nearly 23 years ago. In 2013 my ex-wife took me back to court. Ms. Chase handled the case very well. She kept me informed by email (email was my choice) with everything that was taking place. When we went into the mediation room and met with the other side, Ms. Chase was aggressive and confident but professional. Ms. Chase got loop holes closed in the final judgement of the divorce that should have been done 22 yrs ago. I am very happy with what Ms. Chase was able to do for me. If you need an attorney for a family problem you will not be sorry if you use the services of Ms. Chase.

I’m very much satisfied. Everyone seemed very prompt and pleasant. I don’t know anything that could have been done any better. Thank you for your service; if anything should come up, you can expect a call for help.

For those of you searching for a lawyer, this is your lucky day. My experience with Julia Best Chase, P.A. was amazing. Julia and her team fought for my family although many thought I should just give up. Because of their efforts and unbelievable work tenacity, I have my family and I’m able to watch my daughter grow up every day which to me is priceless. Julia is tough, considerate, passionate, and personable when she needs to be. She threaded the needle every day in my case and I really believe that if I went anywhere else my life and my life with my family would be different. Thanks Julia for all your hard work.

Explained what the legal terminology meant and walked me through the process. As far as I’m concerned there isn’t anything that should have been improved.

Thank you for spending time with the client and helping with his case. He is on medication now that will hopefully help him stop being so impulsive and make better decisions. He seems to be doing better and I hope he can continue to improve. We still have a way to go, we still have 4 more court dates and ongoing medical appointments because his blood work is not normal. God bless you and Marci for helping us through this. Thank you again and if we can be of any service to you, please let us know.

I retired from the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) in 2006. During my early career, I was assigned to Hillsborough County, Florida for thirteen years, transferring out due to promotion in 1994. I had numerous bench and jury trials that were prosecuted by [then] Assistant State Attorney Julia Best. She was always fully prepared and highly skilled and one of the most professional prosecutors that I worked with in my 26-year career. During most of those years in Tampa, one of my duties included the recruitment and law enforcement training of auxiliary troopers. These are citizens that volunteer their time to assist full-time troopers in the performance of their duties. At my request, Julia took time away from her busy schedule to teach the law classes. She did this on her own time and at no expense to FHP. She was a truly dedicated public servant and she exemplifies the finest qualities of her profession.
