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.

Trustworthy!!

I had no idea what I was supposed to do when I got in trouble. I just showed up in the office, and from there Julie took over in my first (and hopefully the last) criminal court experience. Julie was very clear, she did not sugarcoat the legal services or what will happen next, she did explain my s...tatus in a very crisp way and came up with a few options. And everything happened as Julie said (we did pick a strategy) , it took a few months and all charges were dropped. Along the process, she was very responsive. (email /cell phone/ imessages) Her office also helped with extra coverage. I do recommend Julie.

Misrepresentation/ Falsely Advertised

Reviews are not a reliable way to determine if an attorney is good or not. Rely on referral from family and friends. The reviews on here are not a good reflection of my experience with Julie Rendelman. I am a Persian Gulf/ Iraq Freedom Veteran and was framed when my sons mother made a false r...ace based 911 call against me. Gov Cuomo, Chief Judge DiFiore, Senator Schumer, White House and many other politicians who I made aware of and reached out to. Unfortunately I did not record her with my cell phone to prove that. Moreover, I was relying solely on my attorney to give my case the attention it deserved. This incident happened on March 11th. It is now August. COVID did more work than her. She did absolutely nothing besides ask me if I would accept my charges dropped down to a violation. And dump her load onto a lesser experienced junior attorney. I made it clear in the beginning that I would not accept any plea. I explained to her over and over about being empathetic to my circumstances of having my son kidnapped from me using the corrupt broken system. They seemed so dull, close minded or blinded by the court room politics. Institutionalized by the court room that they forgot what it’s like to be a human being. I question the integrity of the reviews on here. They seem exaggerated, fabricated and a misrepresentation of this firm. I certainly did not have a five star experience and would like to inform others of that so you are not fooled by it like I was. She did not do any work in the court room as all of my dates kept getting adjourned. I still haven’t received my detailed invoice, so I will be taking further action beginning with filing a grievance. I think it’s very important that the public stay informed on this. Enough is enough. #BLM
