Defends With Her Heart!

I have used Julissa as an appointed Attorney and I hired her twice. There has also been a number of time's I have texted her (even after court was done, years after) and asked alot of questions, never simple questions either! They never are, but she always responded back to all of my texts in a timel...y manner with through & helpful answers. I know from requesting her as an appointed attorney she put in 110% and did everything that was within the "realm" of a Public Defender. When I hired her to represent me she was able to get everything I asked for. I trust her and she's great! Thank You Julissa For all your hard work! And I already know dealing with Me and My drama is handwork! ;)

Best lawyer iv ever been appointed.

Julissa has helped me by representing me in 2 past cases and currently representing at the moment on another case and I must say she took the lead in helping me to the best of her ability with my cases I had picked up, and I was astonished to get the plea she had arranged for me and charges she was a...ble to get dissmissed. I don't want to add so much about my cases, etc. But I 100% recommend her as a consulted, state appointed, or hired lawyer. Never have been as satisfied with a lawyer as I've been with her and I've had many hired and appointed. Great lawyer I highly doubt anyone would be disappointed with her work. Great job Ms. Vela keep up your amazing work.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
