Julie Johanna Oinonen

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional representation I received from Julie Oinonen. From the moment I first spoke with her, I knew I was in the hands of someone truly special — not only one of the most skilled and knowledgeable employment law trial attorneys in the field, but also som...eone who leads with compassion, integrity, and genuine care for her clients. My case was deeply traumatic and emotionally complex, yet she navigated every stage with unwavering dedication, clarity, and strength. She listened intently, never minimized the impact of what I had gone through, and gave me both the legal support and personal reassurance I needed to feel empowered again. Her ability to balance fierce advocacy with empathy is nothing short of remarkable. She was always honest and transparent, setting realistic expectations while fighting tirelessly for the justice I deserved — and she won. Her strategic brilliance, attention to detail, and calm under pressure were evident throughout the process. If you are facing an employment-related legal issue and want someone who will not only fight for you but stand with you, I cannot recommend Julie highly enough. She is, without question, one of the best in her field, and anyone who has the opportunity to work with her and her firm is truly fortunate.

I was accused of child abuse as an educator. Julie was retained by my advocacy union to defend me. Julie was such an amazing advocate for me; on the day of the hearing before the judge she had a binder of case laws, evidence, and every resource to defend me. Julie was a shark in that hearing; she obj...ected to everything counsel tried to do and would not let DFCS, States Attorney or even the judge get away with anything unscrupulous! I have my job, my license and a clear background because of Julie. Thank you so much Julie for all of your attention and hardworking on my behalf!

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.

My 9 yr. old son was a victim of repeated bullying and violent attacks at his school for more than a year, which resulted in his front, permanent teeth being kicked out of his mouth. Subsequently, my daughter was subjected to bullying and retaliation at her school, where she was called a snitch by a... school administrator for reporting these incidents. By the time, I met Julie Oinonen, I was hopeless and out of options. Mrs. Oinonen immediately empathized with our situation, carefully evaluated the details and gave me an honest, objective viewpoint. Her focus was always the best interest of my children and their safety. Her extensive knowledge of the educational system coupled with her years of experience as a lawyer, allowed her to effectively represent my children. I could not have asked for a better Attorney. Julie Oinonen has an apparent understanding of the judicial system, which allowed her to adequately represent my children. She is patient and fair, always willing to go the distance to get results. Although, I knew this case could take years to resolve, Ms.Oinonen was committed from the beginning and remained engaged throughout the entire process. She was quick to respond to my concerns and helped me understand the law and how it related to my case. My children were broken hearted from their devastating incidents at school but Ms.Oinonen handled them with respect and dignity. She was the resounding voice that consistently spoke on behalf of my children and rightfully claimed justice for them. Julie Oinonen is simply a qualified attorney, who is dedicated to her clients and the process, determined to get results and devoted to the very end.
