We usually start our firm bios with a little tidbit about the member and move on from there, building a narrative.

We’re breaking the mold with Julianne B. Rothert.

We must start with this: Julianne loves family law – she is completely and utterly dedicated to every aspect of it and has been since law school.

What does it mean when Julianne loves something? This…

Julianne went to Clemson. She loves everything Clemson-related, especially the football team. How much? Enough to be in labor the night before a Clemson game and still go to the game (note: It was not a playoff game, or even against the top 25, just the regular, old ‘Saturday Clemson beat down of an almost defenseless opponent’ game.) Which she sat all the way through. We think she also probably sat through Dabo’s news conference as well, but she won’t confirm or deny that.

Only then did she go to the hospital and give birth. She (begrudgingly) gives some credit to her daughter for waiting so patiently.

That is the kind of dedication Julianne brings to family law.

Here’s something you need to know – Julianne will never “tell you what you want to hear. I’m not the person to come to if you want to be told only what you want to hear; I’m the person to come to if you want to get it straight. Ask me anything. I’m here for you.”

And with that out of the way, here’s the rest:

Julianne started out as an accounting major at, well, you know where. After graduation, she took two years off to enjoy beach life in her hometown of Myrtle Beach. After that, she went on to Campbell University School of Law, where she not only excelled but found her love of family law.

Julianne was certified as a Specialist in Family Law by the North Carolina State Bar in 2008. In 2011, she was certified as a Family Financial Mediator as well. She frequently serves as a mediator in family law cases, and by now, you should know how she feels about that. She’s also a Parenting Coordinator, which, as you may know, takes the patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon.
