MRPC Law is thrilled to welcome Julia Bacci as an associate lawyer in our plaintiff personal injury law department where she will focus on medical malpractice, civil sexual assault, and slip and fall claims.

Prior to joining Murray Ralston Law, Julia completed her articles with a boutique estate litigation firm in Barrie, where she developed a strong foundation in civil litigation, advocacy, and client representation.
Julia is committed to providing compassionate, practical, and client-focused representation, recognizing the significant impact that injuries and trauma can have on every aspect of a victim's life. Julia works closely with her clients to guide them through the litigation process while advocating for fair and meaningful compensation.
