She is the best!

Julie Ajster is one of the best attorneys I have ever met or had the pleasure to deal with. I had encountered some really bad attorneys in my 72 years of life and I believe that 90% of the attorneys practicing today should not be. Julie does not fall into that category, she should be in the top 1% ...of all attorneys. Julie is very knowledgeable with regards to the law. She is aggressive and fights for her clients. And unlike most attorneys, she actually cares about her clients. I would recommend Julie to anyone in need of a great attorney. Hire her, you will not be disappointed.

Lawyer for life.

I hired Julie after I was in a bad car accident and I absolutely love her. After the first five minutes of talking to her I knew she would be my lawyer. she listened and empathized with what I was going through. She showed me nothing but respect and concern for my well being. For the year it took... for me to heal before she could settle my case she was always there for me. In the end she got me a great settlement. She is my lawyer for life.

Experienced and comasionate attorney

Julie kept me informed about my accident every step of the way. I was injured, and my car was totaled from a drunk driver. I felt very confident with her being my attorney, from my first interview with her. I also referred her to my relative that had a rear end collision with bodily injury.

Julie Ajster is the best lawyer in Illinois

Julie is a very good lawyer she knows what she is doing she has worked on cases for me and she gets the job done right... I would recommend her time and time again.. She doesn't ever give u a run around like other lawyers do she is up front and always gives her time and effort to all her clients...

Great and caring lawyer.

I was in a car crash. I was upset and stressed out. I called Julie and she got me into her office right away. Julie told me not to worry about anything that she would take care of everything and she did. I never had any problems. All the bills got paid and I got a lot of money in my pocket. She... really cares about her clients. I tell everyone that Julie is the best.
