Client Reviews
S. W. October 28, 2024
Expert, compassionate, affordable attorney who can navigate cultural nuances of USVI court system Without hesitation or reservation, I highly recommend Attorney Julie German Evet to anyone who needs legal counsel in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Attorney Evert helped me with a delicate matter that occurred over five decades ago and required a court order to rectify. Because of Attorney Evert’s legal expertise and experience in navigating the cultural nuances of the USVI court system, the court ruled in my favor. Her professionalism, compassion, responsiveness, clear communication, and reasonable fees made working with her an absolute pleasure. My only regret is that her practice does not include estate planning and tax law because I would eagerly retain her to assist me in these areas.

Very professional, compassionate and direct. A rare combination making for a great attorney! I have been working with Julie Evert for a couple years and have admired her professionalism while promoting a sense of compassion to my situation, which is very delicate. Her ability to be concise keeps me mentally focused on whichever legal issue we are tackling that week or month. I appreciate her dedication to my case, without dwelling on situations. I am never concerned about her actions being dictated by monetary gain, but always are to serve my best interest. It can be difficult to trust attorneys who usually start as strangers, especially when dealing with sensitive issues like family law. I am very lucky to have an attorney who is both competent and empathetic. She is a rare combination of attributes to find in the legal system. My case is still ongoing and I appreciate her fighting for me and my son everyday.

Biography

Attorney Evert grew up outside of Philly and attended Columbia University, Barnard College, and the University of California, Berkeley, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree. She then went on to earn her JD from the University of San Francisco School of Law. She interned for the ACLU in Miami and Women Against Violence in Pornography and the Media, in San Francisco, sparking her enthusiasm for aggressive advocacy for the underserved.

In 1992, Attorney Evert founded American Mediation Institute (AMI). AMI implemented civil and family mediation training classes in the U.S. Virgin Islands for attorneys and skilled business people. Almost all civil cases are now mediated before they may proceed to trial, and more than 75% of all civil and family cases settle in mediation before trial, saving the parties time and money. Though she sold AMI in 1997, it remains the largest mediation company in the USVI. In her 30 years as a certified civil and family mediator, Attorney Evert has developed the skills and experience to obtain excellent results for her clients.
