About Julia P. North

Julia P. North joined the firm in 1993 and became a named partner in 2001. She grew up in Michigan, the daughter of a registered nurse and a college professor, and earned her law degree from the University of Detroit. After meeting her husband, John North — a pilot with the 160th at Fort Campbell — his assignment brought the couple to Clarksville, where she took a clerking position with Rassas & Rassas.

In the years since, Julia has concentrated her practice on estates, conservatorships, wills, and appellate work. Her work in difficult estate matters has earned the trust of the local bench, which routinely appoints her as special administrator for the county’s most complex estates.

Admitted to practice in both Michigan and Tennessee, Julia works to make estate and appellate matters as clear and steady as possible for the families going through them — explaining each step and standing between her clients and the parts of the process that would otherwise fall on them alone.

Protecting my clients and making sure that their rights are recognized has been a goal I have worked to achieve throughout my career.
