Best lawyer to hire

Julie Rendelman is very best attorney you can hire in NY. I found her online based on reviews and I'm so grateful to hire her as my attorney. She is very knowledgeable and caring. I was very worried about getting charged but she did her best work to get me out of trouble. I hope I won't need her for ...this type of assistance but definitely would like to recommend to anyone who needs lawyer!

Great criminal lawyer with extensive knowledge

Julie was an outstanding lawyer. She showed a commitment to my case from the beginning, and a rare level of empathy, that made me feel more confident. She knows what she's doing: she not only has great experience, but is very strategic and sensitive to people, qualities that make her a remarkable pro...fessional. She exceeded expectations when handling my criminal case, and took special care to avoid negative consequences related to my immigration status.

Julie saved my life

Julie is just wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone. I was an international student of 21 years facing charges for grand larceny in the 4th degree. A conviction for these charges would not only end my career but would result in deportation and further inadmissibility to the United States/Cana...da. I was unsatisfied with my gov. provided attorney so I did some research and came accross Julie's name. I gave her a call, she was home taking care of her kids yet she still gave me 50 minutes of her time free of any charge. I then met with her in person, and at every point she made me feel like she was the one who would fight to make this stupid young mistake I made go away. With Julie's expertises and professionalisms, I found her fees to be extremely reasonable. Since I was a student and did not have the money upfront, she agreed to enter a payment plan that allowed me to retain her as my attorney. During the whole process, Julie was always responsive, transperent, and more than anything, she was a friend. She never judged me for my stupid mistake, and she was geniunly invested in helping me get over this and continue with my regular life. After negotiations with the DA, Julie got the criminal charges Grand Larceny charges dismissed and instead I pleaded guilty to a 240.20 dissorderly conduct violation with a 1yr conditional discharge (which means after 1 year even the violation will be removed from my public record). Not only was I able to avoid jail time and a criminal record, I was also able to remain legally within the country. Hiring Julie as an attorney was the best decision I could have made. She still checks in to see how I am doing and I know that at any point in my life, I can count with her. I hope you do to, because no matter what you are facing, Julie will fight for you. -M

Stop looking, hire Julie

Julie was the only lawyer who gave it to me straight. No BS scare tactics used by other lawyers to try and gouge you of your entire savings. She tells it how it is, and will get you the best outcome whatever your situation is. She's extremely compassionate and will work hard for you no matter. 20/10... would hire again (hopefully not).

Top Notch Attorney

I hired Julie after a delinquent tenant went to the police and falsely accused me of theft, presumably to prevent me from going back to my own property (to avoid paying rent). Julie was incredibly responsive and took two hours out of her day to listen to my convoluted (and quite frankly absurd) backs...tory with the lawless tenant. I was distraught and confused; she calmed me down and advised me on the most logical way to proceed. Once hired, she acted fast. She spoke with the police department that day and cleared up the situation. The case was never investigated further because of insufficient evidence. In the days, weeks, and even months following, Julie would check up on me to make sure that I was ok and that there were no new developments with the case. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney. She cares deeply about her clients, and it shows through the quality of her work.
