Julia Chen

Julia plays a key role at Northwest Family Law, serving as both an Intake Specialist and Legal Assistant. As one of the first points of contact for our clients, Julia ensures a welcoming and seamless experience, and she is fluent in both Mandarin Chinese and English, allowing her to assist clients in the language they’re most comfortable with.

Julia holds dual degrees in Mandarin Chinese Language and Biology/Physiology from the University of Washington. After graduating, she moved to Chongqing, China, where she spent ten years in the education sector, excelling as a curriculum developer and singer/songwriter. During this time, she authored sixteen coursebooks and collaborated on nine musical albums. Upon returning to the U.S. in 2024, Julia joined Northwest Family Law, drawn by the firm’s commitment to guiding families through challenging transitions.

Having gone through her own divorce while living abroad, Julia brings a deep sense of empathy to her work. She has a particular understanding of the challenges Mandarin-speaking clients face when navigating divorce and family law matters in a foreign country. Julia is dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized support to all clients, walking alongside them as they move toward a brighter future.

When she’s not assisting clients, Julia enjoys spending time with her two children, staying active through running and flag football, and pursuing her passion for music through recording projects.
