Clients testimonial

Most of my work over the last five years has been focused on helping employers to embrace and plan for managing the fiduciary duties of their health plans. Julie has been a key and definitive resource for me and for my customers on all things fiduciary. She is thoughtful, courageous, credible and articulate. Further, she embraces specific issues and problems with fervor and enthusiasm and quickly furnishes customers with informed strategies. Employers want solutions that avoid litigation and risk and Julie is focused on providing informed advice and services that serve that need.

HOMA Health, Managing Director of Fiduciary Services

Working with Justin and Julie has been a completely different experience. They’ve gone above and beyond to get into the details, numbers behind health claims, and a deeper look into all of the numbers behind our plans. They’ve got a great team with a very broad knowledge of the healthcare industry and have been a great partner in running our health funds.

Co-Chair and Trustee, IUBAC Local 1 CT (Wallingford, Connecticut)

I have the privilege of working with Julie in the evolving health care space. The new regulations have made it more difficult for fiduciaries to make informed decisions. This space is filled with misinformed and bad actors. Her unparalleled professionalism, deep legal expertise, ability to cut through BS and genuine compassion make her my go-to person. Taking a straightforward subject into something complex is a common pitfall; however, distilling a complex subject, such as fiduciary duties in health care, into simplicity requires true mastery and Julie has it. As E.F. Schumacher said, “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.
