Julie Gugenheim

Over 30 years in the courtroom

Julie has been practicing law for over 30 years. In 1987, she graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science. In 1991, she earned her Juris Doctor from Samford University, Cumberland School of Law, in Birmingham, Alabama.

After law school, Julie and Steve moved to Dallas, Texas. For almost five years, Julie served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Denton County District Attorney's Office, where she tried over 50 misdemeanor and felony jury trials.

Julie then joined Allstate Insurance Company as a Senior Trial Attorney, defending individuals in cases involving serious personal injury and successfully defending over 24 civil trials. In 2000, when Steve and Julie relocated to North Carolina to be close to family, she continued her defense career with the Raleigh law firm Teague Campbell Dennis & Gorham.

At Gugenheim Law

After the birth of their son in 2001, and due to the growing demands of Gugenheim Law, Julie joined the firm. Since then, Julie and Steve have successfully tried numerous cases involving nursing home negligence and assisted living facility negligence.

Her years on the defense side give clients an advantage: she knows how facilities and their insurers evaluate, defend, and value these cases.

Julie is a Certified Superior Court Mediator and has spoken on trial tactics, the effective use of negotiation, and the effective use of voir dire.

Outside the office

In her spare time, Julie enjoys adventure travel with her family, running, hiking, and reading.
