Brief Bio
Julia Helgeson graduated from UCLA with a degree in Political Science, with an emphasis in International Relations, and she earned her juris doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin School of Law. She is licensed to practice law in both California and Texas and has represented various entities in a diverse array of business, property, construction and finance matters.
Julia focuses on providing contract review and transactional support to Grable Martin clients on a variety of business matters. She is known in her practice areas for her attention to detail, responsiveness, and placing a premium on maintaining positive client relationships.
The Rest of the Story
In addition to previously working for two well-respected specialty law firms, Julia served as the Director of Operations and Programs for a nonprofit organization whose mission she cares for deeply, The Joyful Child Foundation.
While her passion for preventing crimes against children has given her the opportunity to utilize her skills to benefit the foundation’s unique mission of providing safety education programs that directly empower children to be brave and safe, she is pleased to focus her law practice by assisting Grable Martin clients with their individualized contract and transactional needs.
Julia fell in love with Austin during law school, where she happily resides with her husband and daughter, enjoying the live music and food scene the ever-changing city has to offer.
