Julie Johanna Oinonen

I have never been involved in a legal battle until now, and I must say that God was shining down his favor on me by leading me to Julie. Her assistance with my fight against a faulty school system that would rather discard their GOOD teachers than to rectify a long-standing issue with redirecting vio...lent students behavior has proven to be invaluable. My case began November 1 and it has finally come to its concluding stage after 3 months of aggressive interrogation from the Public school system at which I worked. Due to the fact that I was still considered an employee at the time, I was not allowed to have legal counsel present during those interrogations. But Julie made sure to prep me before every single meeting; telling me what to expect, how to react to their accusations, and how to defend myself as they made every attempt to Create a form of guilt on my part. Julie was able to intimidate the opposing side so much to where they offered me a $17k+ settlement when they were originally threatening to fire me just 2 days after the incident took place. I had an attorney prior to Julie who was less expensive & much more accessible on an hourly basis. His exact words were “Jasmin, you’re gonna lose. Just resign now and walk away with your reputation”. Before I even retained Julie, she gave me VALUABLE legal insight on my case that would have helped me even if I didn’t use her as my attorney. When I saw how generous she was with her legal insight, I knew that I would be in good hands. I gained a trust in her that I didn’t think I would have. Heads up! Julie is absolutely no nonsense so any superfluous information you give her, she will have a dry & disregarding response to. And if you ask me, I’ll take a super serious WINNING attorney over a friendly LOSING attorney anyday. So don’t take it personally, but she just has blinders on and her soul focus is to win your case. Nothing more, nothing less. I can’t express how much Julie has assisted my family and I during this stressful and pressing time. My family and I are now at peace with the outcome and we only have Julie to thank for that.

You can rest assured, with Julie as your lawyer. She took my case 'at the very last hour' pro bono, and saved my career. I dont know how I would be paying my rent right now or eating if it were not for Julie. Like so many teachers I was in a position where i was unethically being forced to resign.... Because of Julie taking a stand for me I did not go one day wihout pay and I was transferred to another school, one that is far better than my previous place of employment. In a career where adminstrative bullies and manipulative co-workers can sabotage your career at any point, it pays to have a lawyer such as Julie Oinonen who will ensure that you and your rights are respected. Julie knows her law and is well connected in the community. She is the Strong Arm of the law! She also took the time to give me professional advice to ensure my success in the future as a teacherl. I believe with Julie she will always give you her very best....and that is no small thing.

Julie Oinonen is the best attorney ever. Because she was so thorough and sharp,, the Georgia State Board of Education reversed a decision by the local board to terminate my employment (which rarely happens) and the Professional Standards Commission found no cause to sanction my certificate. I was ...also paid 50K for pain and suffering to avoid a lawsuit. when I tell you she is the best, believe it!!!

Julie handled my employment case. I felt that I had been discriminated against and wrongfully terminated under the guise of a RIF. While I could not afford to pursue a full fledged discrimination lawsuit, Julie worked within my financial parameters and negotiated the full settlement from my employe...r that we were pursuing. She was very responsive and professional while being very encouraging to me as a professional. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in a similar situation.
