Julie Curran Gerock is a partner with the Maddox Law Firm, P.C. in Vienna, Virginia. She has been a family law attorney for more than eleven years, representing her clients in complex cases, including equitable distribution, spousal support, child support, child custody, visitation, relocation as well as international family law cases. She is licensed to practice law in Virginia, the District of Columbia and North Carolina.

Ms. Gerock began her law career in Charlotte, North Carolina working with a small firm. In less than three years, she built a successful domestic relations practice and was quickly named as a partner of the firm. She sat on numerous family law committees, was a CLE presenter and a moot court judge for a local high school competition.

In 2005, when Ms. Gerock relocated to Northern Virginia, her experience, dedication and compassion quickly distinguished Ms. Gerock from many other family law attorneys, gaining her the respect of judges, opposing counsel and her clients. Before joining The Maddox Law Firm, P.C., Ms. Gerock practiced law with the firm of Ain & Bank, P.C. in Washington, D.C. and was named by The Washingtonian as one of Washington's Best Divorce Lawyers in 2008. She has practiced in Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Loudoun, Prince William, Stafford and Fauquier Counties. She also practices in the District of Columbia and maintains active licensing in North Carolina.

Ms. Gerock is actively involved in local and state bar activities and has served on a number of committees, including the Board of the Young Lawyers Section of the Fairfax Bar Association, the Judicial Screening Committee of the Fairfax Bar Association, the Fairfax Circuit Court Committee, and the Fairfax Circuit Court Domestic Relations Sub-Committee. She has also volunteered as a pro bono custody mediation attorney, she speaks regularly to at-risk youth through the Devonshire Project, and she has served as an attorney facilitator for the District of Columbia Superior Court and as a conciliator for the Fairfax County Circuit Court and Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Most recently, Ms. Gerock and her law partner, Katharine Maddox, have co-authored a chapter in the European Lawyer Reference Series: Issues in International Family Law, which is in the process of being published. Ms. Gerock is also committed to her family and community activities. She is a Girl Scout leader for her daughter's troop and at one time worked as a family readiness volunteer during Operation Enduring Freedom for her husband's Air National Guard unit, assisting the families of military spouses who were being deployed.

Ms. Gerock is married to her Air Force husband of more than eleven years. They reside in Fairfax County, Virginia with their young school aged daughter, their Newfoundland dog, three cats and two fish. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, dancing, and enjoying outdoor activities.
