An incredible lawyer - highly recommend!

I hired Julie for legal assistance, and she exceeded my expectations in every way. Julie's professionalism, friendliness, and accessibility made the entire process smooth and reassuring. With her expertise, I achieved a fair outcome, allowing me to leave the country and restart my life back home. As ...a client, I highly recommend Julie for her exceptional service and commitment to delivering positive results.

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

Top Notch Legal Representation

Julie did an excellent job taking care of my misdemeanor case. My first time dealing with criminal legal system/process, and she guided me through and explained in detail what the charge meant and what my options would be. Anyway, I was quite worried about my situation because being a foreign worker ...on a sponsorship visa could mean facing immigration if it came down to trial, and possibly getting deported (worst case scenario). Well, it did not come to that, thanks to Julie - case dismissed! I’m super happy with the outcome. Julie is very knowledgeable. Approachable and easy to speak with, and makes you feel comfortable about the situation and if you’re seeking a lawyer to represent your case - better call Julie! Oh, I thought the legal fees were very fair, much better compared to two other lawyers I saw prior to Julie. :) Highly recommend.

Best choice you'll ever make!

Whether your innocent or not, finding a lawyer can be one of the most difficult and stressful decisions you'll ever make.  I was scared and had never been arrested in my life.  I'm not a U.S. citizen and I work in Financial Services, one of the most heavily regulated industries there is.  I had a lot... on the line and couldn't afford any mistakes, I needed to hire an attorney who was really invested and truly committed to helping me get the best possible outcome!  A lot of lawyers will want to charge you a consultation fee before talking to you or listening to your case.  How can you trust or put your life in the hands of someone without talking to them first?!?!  Most lawyers are very short over the phone, many intimidate you or say things to make you feel even more vulnerable and desperate for their help.  After approximately 15 call to top rated Avvo attorneys, I narrowed my search down to two lawyers.  Julie was one of them.  Why did I choose Julie?  Because she was the ONLY lawyer who warned me about traveling outside of the U.S. with an open case, if you're not a U.S. citizen. Nobody else picked up on that detail when I told them what happened to me and that I needed to travel for work outside of the U.S. days after my arrest.  If I had not called her and gotten her top notch legal advice (even before retaining her) I would have lost my job, my licenses, and maybe would have faced serious immigration consequences.  Julie has other attorneys who work with her, specializing in other areas.  This is critical to ensure you receive sound advice and to protect you in all areas that might be affected by the outcome of your case (i.e. immigration, employment law). Julie was spot on with her advice and knowledge, she has a lot of experience working in all 5 boroughs.  She knows the courts, the system and a lot of the people who work there.  I watched her in court, and I watched how people interact and respond to her. She can be tough, yet charming and engaging.  These are all positive and important qualities you want when dealing with people.  She ALWAYS was available to speak to me, worst case scenario she would text me letting me know she would call me later that day.  Many attorneys don't even return your calls after you've retained them!  She had patience and understood how much anxiety and fear I was going thru.  Not only is she one of the best criminal attorneys you will meet, she also has a compassionate/human side to her which is very rare amongst attorneys.  I was charged with two misdemeanors, I got a desk appearance ticket.  The day of my court date, the DA offered me an ACD within 6 months if I stayed out of trouble during the six month period.  I couldn't afford to wait six months, I would have lost my job and there would have been other dyer consequences.  Thanks to Julie's experience and knowledge (she knows the law inside out), and her tenacity, my case was dismissed within days.  I was able to keep my job, I can travel and I can begin to recover from what has been a very traumatic and painful experience in my life.  Julie and I still keep in touch, I left her a message last week, she called me back, we spoke twice on the same day, while she was on vacation with her family! YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH JULIE RENDELMAN! LOOK NO FURTHER! IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN JULIE! Good luck! I wish you all the best, please know that whatever you are going thru, this to shall pass. Thank you Julie!!! You are THE BEST!!!!
