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.

Would Highly Recommend

I was arrested for shoplifting. This is ordinarily a simple defense, but in my case, it was complicated because I work in a Federally regulated industry and I am in the US under a work visa. Julie was able to get the charges dismissed. Usually this would occur under an ACD, whereby the court d...isposition would show that I did community service and the records would be sealed after 6 months. Julie recommended that I did community service prior to meeting with the prosecutor. As a result, my court disposition only states "dismissed in the interest of justice." In addition, Julie was able to get the charges sealed within two weeks, must faster than the traditional 6 month waiting period. Both of these accomplishments (no community service on the court disposition and early sealing of the charges) is highly highly unusual and speaks to Julie's capabilities as a criminal defense attorney and her contacts within the criminal justice system. Apart from being an extraordinary defense attorney, Julie is patient and responsive. As someone who has been charged with a crime knows, it is a stressful time and one has many questions. Julie took the time to answer every one of my numerous questions and never made me feel like I was an unimportant client. If you find yourself in the unfortunately position of needing a criminal defense, I would highly recommend Julie Rendelman as your representative.

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.

Fantastic lawyer!!!

Julie was an amazing lawyer who not only did a fantastic job by getting the results I wanted, but also kept a calm and kind demeanor throughout the whole process. When I was speaking with other lawyers, many tried to frighten me and make my case seem more serious than it was, but Julie stood out beca...use she reassured me that my case was not going to ruin my career/life as I feared and was very optimistic about how she could help. We were hoping to get an ACD with an early sealing, but she ended up getting the case dismissed altogether! She even went above and beyond when a news paper article mentioned my arrest and called them to have them take out my name, which they subsequently did. I cant thank Julie enough and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and kind lawyer!
