JULIE E. TREUMANN, ESQ.
Founder and President
I believe in creating positive legal experiences by using my training and skills through a foundation of personal interaction.
You should feel comfortable that your lawyer not only understands your business goals but is also someone you can talk to. I know that the law may not always be relatable, so I try to be, first and foremost, a relatable person - just one who also has legal knowledge and practical advice to share.
I love learning new things - which is one thing that is so great about being a lawyer! I also love reading - and when I'm not reading contracts and statutes, I enjoy detective stories, historical fiction and The New York Times (old-school home delivery). My favorite on-screen lawyers are Perry Mason, Saul Goodman, and Bob Loblaw. My podcast queue includes My Favorite Murder, Stuff You Should Know, and Ridiculous History.
I love travel, art, color (especially orange and turquoise), tattoos, making lists, sitting in the sun, FaceTiming friends and family, and writing letters. I'm a dog person and a kid person and a plant parent.
I went to: Palatine High School (Go Pirates!), St. Olaf College (Um! Yah! Yah!) and Loyola University Chicago School of Law (Go Ramblers!)
I am committed to excellence.
Whatever your legal needs or questions might be, come to me for comprehensive advice and thoughtful representation. If you need something outside my practice area, I will help connect you with the right person.

ABOUT DE JURE DE FACTO, P.C.
de jure: pertaining to law
de facto: pertaining to fact; in practice
de jure de facto is not just a swell name, but also my client service philosophy. When working with clients, I strive to understand the details of their business as they see the facts, so that I can put my legal knowledge into practice for them.
I started de jure de facto, p.c. in May 2013 after practicing for twelve years with Ungaretti & Harris, LLP, now Nixon Peabody, where I was a partner in both the Corporate and Healthcare departments. My cross-departmental background makes me uniquely qualified to address transactions with the skills of both a corporate attorney and a healthcare attorney.
I love learning about my clients and their businesses so I can provide informed, relevant, partner-level advice for their unique circumstances, without the big firm fees.
