Building Success from Strong Foundations
Juliette is a proud first-generation attorney who credits much of her success and resilience to her immigrant parents and beloved Abuela. Her family’s journey to achieve the American Dream drives her commitment to helping others who face challenges in navigating complex legal systems.

Her dedication to excellence earned her the Eugene Gressman & Daniel H. Pollitt Oral Advocacy Award, recognizing her skill in courtroom advocacy.
Fighting for the Wrongfully Convicted
Before joining our firm, Juliette worked at the North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence. There, she provided pro bono legal assistance to wrongfully convicted members of our community, working to right serious wrongs in the justice system. This experience strengthened her understanding that everyone deserves a fierce advocate in their corner.
