Excellent Advocate—A Godsend

As a criminal lawyer, Julie Rendelman is a maestro—elegant, confident and personable, with an inner lioness at the ready to fight for her clients. During our first meeting, she outlined all the options, adding, “I can’t make any promises,” and I understood that, but right away felt immense relief ...knowing that someone was finally listening, asking relevant questions. I explained my financial situation to her, and she responded with compassion: Julie Rendelman, named one of the nation’s Top 100 Trial Lawyers, made it possible for me to retain her counsel. She took on this very difficult case at the eleventh hour. Every choice Julie made for my case was inspired. She felt that a detective on the case was essential, and secured the services of a very talented investigator. Julie then applied her formidable skills to the case, and achieved a favorable result. To quote emails from friends: “Kudos to the lawyer who brought truth to the matter ASAP.” “My faith in the justice system is restored now.” Thank you, Julie Rendelman, for choosing law as your career, for using your personal and professional brilliance to help innocent people and fight for justice.

Great Lawyer

I hired Ms. Rendelman yo represent me in a criminal case. She was very professional all the time, and always explained me every detail. We close the case with better results than what I was expecting. She knows what she does, and she is really good at it. I hardly recommend her if you are in needs of... a lawyer.

She Is the Best Attorney!!

I consulted with Julie and she helped me more than any other attorney I contacted and was by far the most understanding. She reviewed the details of my case and provided me with advice unlike any other attorney. Even the attorney who previously handled my case did not realize what she realized. It tu...rned out she was correct and as a result I did not even need to hire an attorney. She also assisted me without charging for her work - no other attorney offered such help to me, including the attorney whom I'd already paid $15k in fees - she is not the typical attorney who seeks out fees for every minute of their time. She's truly an intelligent, genuine, and caring professional and I would recommend her to my own family if needed.

Helpful and Courteous

This was a very informative consultation and I learned a lot about what I need to know about my case. Thank you to Kristen for letting me know about the charges and what the maximum penalties are.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney in NYC

I am forever grateful of Julie and how she fought to win my case. I was extremely lucky to find Julie Rendelman through Avvo and other reliable websites (google and yelp) which all had 100% positive reviews (it's true!). This gave me a positive feeling and immediately called her right away the day be...fore Thanksgiving. On that call, she was very patient to answer all my questions and welcomed me to meet at her office to extend our conversation without a paying a consultation fee. Her communication skills are excellent and will explain how the judicial system all works. Already my anxiety level was high and every time I spoke with Julie she would calm me down by giving me rationale advice and facts about my rights. Julie is a competent lawyer who's had more complex cases than mine, however, she didn't take the case less seriously. My case needed to be expedited for a hearing as well as sealing the case sooner than 6months . When I met Julie, she honored my request and fought hard for a positive outcome as well as sealing the case in under two months. Also, this was all around christmas time which is the most hectic time of the year. If I didn't have Julie and Kristen her associate that helped on the case who knows what the outcome would have been... but I do know I would have still been waiting until late spring to have my case heard. I am so relieved that I don't have the stress or the record. Therefore, I am forever thankful for their strong work ethics and professionalism.
