Outstanding attorney!

Julie Tizzard is an outstanding attorney who handled my case quickly and efficiently. Not only did she helped me to get the matter closed, but she also saved me hundreds in court, bail and jail fees because she acted so quickly! A no-nonsense, take charge professional who knows the law from both si...des of the issue. I highly recommend her!

Straight Forward and Results Driven

Observing the CJC in New Orleans, Louisiana, differs significantly from the CJC in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The job that (Private Attorney) Julie Tizzard and (Public Defender) "Cat" Catherine Kearney provide is above ALL. Each attorney offers individual authentic value to their clinics, but each a...pplies a different person-centered approach. Julie Tizzard has over 25 years of experience as an attorney as a NOLA's assistant district attorney and is now a private attorney. In retrospect, Julie is a great attorney because she is honest, gets results, and understands systematic criminal justice PTSD. Special thanks to PD Cat and Julie!

Repeat Client

Julie Tizzard has been my lawyer on two different occasions. Both times I found her to be incredibly responsive, sensitive to my situation, and thorough in her work. She can seem quite stern when she's working but as soon as the time is right she reveals what a warm, funny, life-affirming person she ...really is. I would recommend her without hesitation.
