“I love working with Julie. As you know, this process is a lot of work full of bureaucracy and Julie is a super capable navigator through it all. She is so organized, and super patient as she keeps me on track. She is helping me with a 1948 case that I believe is breaking ground as a way, finally, for many of us to gain citizenship.”

“Julie Brown a wonderful, warm, friendly, diligent, kind, knowledgeable professional and my expert and go-to for all my clients, my personal genealogy, and consulate questions in the Italian Dual Citizenship and record correction process, of which a good portion of my legal practice is dedicated.  

When my clients or I have a question in these matters, “call Julie” is my perennial and permanent answer and solution.  She is simply the best, providing personally tailored work to meet their needs, finding creative solutions to the toughest cases.  

She also kindly and amazingly made my personal, pending Italian Dual Citizenship process at the Philadelphia Consulate possible, despite my procrastination, by brilliant planning emergency and expedited work to have me ready for my appointment.  

Julie is the person I trust for my clients, and I highly recommend her services.”

“If you need support and guidance to obtain Italian citizenship,  I can verify that Julie Brown can provide the help, guidance, and encouragement to complete the process.

I met Julie during on an online presentation given by an ex-pat living in Italy. During the Q&A someone asked about obtaining Italian citizenship and Julie offered her services. I responded to the email provided and Julie responded quickly - we were able to set up a call to discuss her services. I quickly decided to entrust my journey for obtaining my citizenship to her. 

She is very organized and has been instrumental in guiding my DIY journey towards Italian citizenship. Her services started with defining the documents that would be required, how to obtain them and get the required apostilles. In my case, it was relatively simple since my path to citizenship is through my mother. She provided Dropbox space to collect the documents and was able to remotely review them and provide detailed  feedback to avoid any inaccuracies that would cause trouble. Having been through the process herself, she provided insight into any areas that need to be addressed – highly valuable and it helped to correct some issues with my documents, that could have derailed the process.

I am still in the queue to get my citizenship. After many attempts to make an appointment at the San Francisco Italian Consulate, I was finally able to sign up for an appointment 3 years out. The appointment process can be discouraging, and Julie provided an extra level of support to keep me on track.”
