Literally the Best!

Dealing with any lawyer can be such a daunting task, and as a single father trying to finalize my divorce and custody agreement, it was safe to say that my expectations were measured at best. Julie and her team did a tremendous job in making me feel valued and took the time to get to know me as a per...son prior to even making a decision on taking my case. Her expertise in family law made me feel reassured and the open lines of communication gave me a sense of relief knowing that I could reach out and ask her legal counsel on any circumstance that arose during the process. Being with my son is the most important thing to me, and I wouldn't have been able to do that without the help of Julie and her team. I would highly recommend her firm to anyone in need of family & immigration law services.

Change of Status after 21 years in this country

Before I called the Law Office of Julie Oliver-Zhang, two law advisors told me that my case was too hard and risky; A couple of great friends from church highly recommended Julie’s services and since the first call was free, I figured, Why not? It was the best decision I could take! She asked me to s...end her an email with the details of my case, next day she followed up with the free call and she told me that she could help me, she was very upfront with the total price and explained the process from the beginning. My husband and I could tell Julie and her team really knew what they were doing, Marcela, Racheal and Julie where always very cordial and professional. I was impressed when I saw a big binder with all our pictures and information and the narrative of how our story began until the present time, how they took the time to practice before the interview and how Julie was right there with us while we were being interviewed. I have been recommending the Law Office of Julie Oliver-Zhang to my friends and I will always be thankful for all their help. D.F. from Mexico 2019

Outstanding legal support

My partner and I wanted to seek the support of a law firm for our green card application because we wanted reliable guidance on filing as a same-sex couple without fear that our application would run into any procedural roadblocks. Julie, Amanda and their colleagues at Oliver Zhang-Law were excellent... to work with because of the very clear and transparent process they followed (including what fees were involved), the systematic communication, correspondence and checklists they used to track actions and progress, and the empathy they displayed in understanding our circumstance, concerns and challenges at each stage. I particularly appreciated the fact that we could email them with questions on specific issues like whether I could travel internationally for work or not during the course of the application, or whether we could go ahead with our move from one state to another while our application was being reviewed, to which they offered specific and reliable advice on the set of options and trade-offs we were facing, which allowed us to make informed choices. I trust the way they handled our personal information and records. I highly recommend their professional and truly outstanding services to anyone in need of legal counsel – they had our best interests in mind at every step.

Amazing, dedicated attorney

One word to describe Julie and her team: amazing. Julie is an exceptional attorney. She is bright and brilliant. Julie’s extensive litigation experience really shined through for my parents’ case. My parents’ employer did not follow appropriate employer protocols and pay my parents accordingly. Due t...o lack of employment contract and pay stubs, many attorneys turned away my parents’ case knowing great injustice had occurred. From the onset, Julie was very good at setting my parents’ expectation about the strengths and challenges of their case. Julie and her team worked tirelessly on my parents’ case and they were always cordial and timely in their responses. Julie’s analysis was always spot on. She really helped my parents understand the risk involved throughout different stages of the lawsuit and navigated an otherwise contentious negotiation. After rounds of negotiation, my parents were able to get a settlement that they were very satisfied with. Without Julie and her team, my parents would have never been able to recover the wage owed to them. My family couldn’t thank Julie and her team enough for their dedication, hard work, and perseverance! I would not hesitate to recommend Julie and her team for your legal needs.

Smart with a Heart

Julie Oliver-Zhang is the kind of person you would want in your corner if circumstances had rendered you a victim of negligence or injustice. She helped me with my personal injury case involving breast cancer against a drug company. Not only is she mega-smart, she is ‘smart with a heart’. In my li...fe experience knowing people in the legal profession, Julie exhibits a rather rare passion for righting inequity or wrongdoing because she wants to win justice for her clients, not just win a case. While she was handling my case we were separated by 3,000 miles, yet with every call I felt her warmth, strength, concern for me, and a very real personal connection. Communication was articulate, succinct, positive, and reassuring. I never doubted I had been placed in the best hands possible for my case. If she is your lawyer you are lucky you found her.

"Julie is the best. She is a rare and extremely special lawyer. I found her by searching Super Lawyers in DC, but Super Lawyer is an understatement when it comes to this wonderful woman. Julie is a modern day saint. She is absolutely brilliant, strategic, thorough, and brings a human element to her practice that is unheard of. Within a few moments of speaking with her, I immediately knew I was dealing with someone who was cut from a different cloth. She was never crass and showed nothing but care and concern for my case. She went above and beyond the call of duty. Her only concern was for my well-being. Despite her angelic character, she is fierce, competent, amazing and possesses supreme knowledge of the law. Notwithstanding her busy schedule, she contacted and advised me on a regular basis all before she was even retained. She never once tried to solicit my business. The law is a noble profession and she is model for all lawyers. I only wish the world had more people like Julie. 10+"
