Best Lawyer and No.1 Law Firm

To say that I’m thankful and grateful for Julie Oliver-Zhang’s services would be an understatement. After speaking to two other attorneys who weren’t willing to take on my “slip and fall” claim, Julie didn’t hesitate to represent me. The case took two years to get through and she never once wavered i...n her attention to detail, professionalism, or compassion for what I was going through. Julie is a tireless advocate for her clients, always putting their interests first, which made it so easy to trust her. With her guidance, persistence, and expertise she was able to win my case. If you’re looking for a full-service attorney, Julie Oliver-Zhang and her team are second to none.

Great Law Firm

After my son was hit by an Uber driver while we were visiting Washington, D.C. from New York City, it was daunting task to find a lawyer far away from home. Fortunately, a friend who practices negligence law in NYC researched the Washington bar on my behalf and learned about the extraordinary practi...ce of Julie Oliver-Zhang, Esquire. As a Chinese immigrant not comfortable in English (yes, this comment is written with the assistance of Google translate!), I needed an attorney who could communicate with me in Mandarin. Ms. Oliver-Zhang and her dedicated colleagues explained every aspect of my case to me with the greatest patience. They advised me over many years and were vigilant in standing up to Uber and the insurance company. The result was an outstanding settlement for my son who has suffered greatly and deserved the best legal representation. Thank you to Ms. Zhang and her extraordinary colleagues — Rachel, Amanda, & Kelly. You give a great name to the legal profession. Needless to say, I recommend them with boundless enthusiasm to anyone who wants the finest representation.

Big Success in My Medical Negligence Case

I was seriously injured in a horrible medical negligence case. Friends recommended a couple lawyers. As I reside in MD, one of the few states that has laws protecting big business establishments, the couple lawyers did not give me much hope to get justice. Luckily, I got in contact with Julie. She ...is so different. She listened to my ordeal with compassion. She believed in me. She gave me hope that justice would be done. It turned out my case is a very tough one. I was against a powerful and deep pocket establishment that has the resources to drag the case out to 6 years long. During this lengthy and time-consuming process, Julie and her team never give up on me. Their patience, compassion, professionalism, and legal knowledge are all number one. Julie is amazing. I feel that she was always on top of my case, gave me updates and progress throughout the years, gave me encouragement and hope that justice would be done. If you have a tough case and want justice, I will not recommend anyone else but Julie Oliver-Zhang.

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.

"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+"
