Julie is the best!

I work in financial industry which has a very strict rules when it comes to crimal background. Julie knows the system. She worked with DA to resolve my case with no criminal record, more importantly not break the financial industry regulations. I recently passed the background check from a top invest...ment bank without having any issues.

Saved my career, my family, and my life. Zero exaggeration.

I was falsely accused of multiple felonies in a highly complex case with limited evidence supporting my behalf in addition to a DA out to get me. The case was fabricated behind my back over the course of six months, and I was subsequently arrested and charged simultaneously with all false charges. I... hired a reputable lawyer without success and had been on the verge of losing the case. The duration of the case itself was resulting in me being fired and unable to support my family who had already thrown themselves into debt in an effort to save my future. With no options or money left, I had decided to do anything and everything possible to try to save my career. A few days prior to the effective termination date, Julie offered a free consultation at the end of her work day after-hours. After hearing my side of the story, she gave me truthful and honest advice (some of which was hard to hear), and offered to take on my case and to charge me the rate only for a simple misdemeanor case given the fact I had already spent tens of thousands on the previous lawyer. After this, she was able to immediately arrange a delay in my termination, a temporary reinstatement of my employment with restrictions, and subsequently represented me in court. After this entire ordeal, I would like to say that Julie is fiercely protective of her clients and will aggressively pursue all avenues of defense to completion. She is a fighter and will not let her clients be taken advantage of by any plaintiff, DA, or judge. Within two months of my inevitable termination, I was back at work unrestricted and my full case was dismissed and sealed automatically. I credit Julie for my position in life today and I can honestly say that every bit of happiness that I have now I can easily attribute to what this attorney did for me during the most difficult time of my life.

Incredible Defense Attorney!

I hired Julie when I found myself in an unfortunate situation of being in the wrong place, at the wrong time and was wrongly charged with Grand Larceny in the fourth degree. The charge alone threatened my career given that I work in the financial industry. Upon my initial consultation, I knew tha...t Julie was the right attorney for the job. She spoke with conviction about which strategy she thought would be best to get the case dismissed given her background and familiarity with the courts. From the consultation on the entire experience was as pleasant as it could be given the circumstances. She ended up getting the case dismissed and I could not be more happy with my choice of Julie as my defense attorney. I highly recommend Julie and her law firm.

Performed a Criminal Defense Miracle

I hired Julie Rendelman to represent me when I was indicted on a felony assault charge involving a weapon. I was scared because I was faced with jail time and I had just spent 12 days in Rikers Island. I had never been in legal trouble before. I found Julie while searching for criminal defense la...wyers with experience prosecuting crimes. I met with her and (7) other lawyers over the course of two days. She stood out from all her competition. I had a feeling she would be the toughest fighter. She was a fighter, but she was so much more than that. She was consoling, encouraging, and kind enough to help me through the legal ins-and-outs of being hired by a large company while involved in criminal litigation. I was hired!! In the end, my Felony Assault charge was dropped and I plead guilty to Disorderly Conduct- which, in New York State is not a criminal offense. I have NO CRIMINAL record. I was faced with being a FELON FOR LIFE. I have my life back and I owe it all to Julie Rendelman. If you are charged with a crime and your freedom and future are at all important to you, don't mess around. Hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately. Unless you are a Billionaire and can afford Benjamin Brafman, you should call Julie. BOTH are on the top 100 list of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

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.
