Julie is the Absolute Best!

Where to start? Julie has helped me keep my family together and ultimately changed the outcome of my circumstances. I was being railroaded in court against my children's father and his lawyer for a year until Julie stepped in. Her first and ONLY court appearance for my family court case changed the t...une. I went from almost losing custody of my second child and fighting to regain custody of my first, to sharing joint legal and physical custody WITH the majority of the week for both that very day. She fought for me to have 4 days and 4 nights and won! The crazy part about it is she had only been retained on my case not even a week by the time the court date that was originally a month away, ended up being expedited to 2 DAYS AWAY! With Julie being a mother, she made me feel comfortable and related to my emotions. She told my story and told it well. Julie didn't miss a step and took the burden of court and all of the proceedings off of my shoulders. Just like many of us, I had no idea what was being spoken about in court nor did I understand how or when to speak to the judge and opposition. Julie has the experience and wit needed to take on the courts in a way I've yet to see with any lawyer I've ever dealt with or seen in action. I wish I could tell you that was the end of my story and turmoil. Well, it isn't. I ended up in some trouble not even a month later and Julie took over my criminal court case as well. I am on probation and was facing revocation and prison time. Not only did Julie get me back home and reinstated. She made sure that I still had custody of my children when I was finally released from jail. Julie didn't give up on me or judge me. She stepped up without question, because she believed in me and my family. Having a woman fight for a woman as hard as Julie does hasn't stopped amazing me. Women should build each other up and support one another and that is exactly what she has done for me. Because of Julie I have been able to regain my confidence and rebuild my life in a way I couldn't have done without her. No amount of words could explain my true gratification for her and the work she has and is going to continue to do. If you're looking for a lawyer that will fight for you, support you, and guide you with fierce love... you've found the one! Thank you Julie. God bless you and your company. You've changed my life. I'm tearing up while writing this review being able to sit here with my daughters and my freedom and having YOU to thank for it. I never thought this day would come before you stepped in to my life.

Life Saver!!!

My first encounter with Julie was when she had my case as a public defender. The case was sketchy and weak and she wanted to fight it. Most public defenders won't do that. They have huge caseloads so they usually make deals. Not Julie tho. So she fought it until we came to an agreement with the D.A. ... Needless to say a few yrs later when I was in trouble again I looked for her as an att. She had her own practice and once again she faught for me. I had problems staying out of trouble for yrs to come so I was needing a lawyer a lot. She has always been there to help and represent me, even when I couldn't afford it. She believed in me when others wouldn't and said she would be there to fight for me and my family. Unfortunately I ended up going to prison for the things I had done. Thankfully it gave me a different outlook on life and helped me to change. Days before my release after doing 4yrs I was told I had a new case that didn't get filed until a year after I went to prison and I was facing a new prison sentence. I contacted Julie and once again she worked her magic and faught for me and my family. She was willing to go all the way with this case if need be and so was I. Thankfully she was able to get the case dismissed and I was able to go home and start my life over. If it wasn't for Julie I would've spent many years behind bars and not have been able to change my life like I have. She got me home to my family and still calls to check on me to make sure all is well. She doesn't judge her clients for what they've done. She puts her all into helping them and fighting for them. I am eternally grateful to her for getting me my life back.

A real life angel!!!

I'm an 8 time convicted felon out of California. 8 prison terms. When I had met Julie Raye I had fired two attorneys already. She was very patient with me as I had a large chip on my shoulder. Ready to take on the world. Looking at two 10 to life sentences in Clark county,Las vegas. No deals in sigh...t. The first hearing with Julie allowed me to bail out with a one to five probationable sentencing date looming in the future. She told the judge and me that she believed in me. That she believed I would walk back into sentencing a changed man. Because of her sincerity I actually started to believe in me too. I decided to make a real life change. Because she believed in me. Went into sober living. Completed outpatient drug program. Got an N.A. sponsor. Went to meetings. Got a job. Opened up a buisness. It wasn't easy. Nothing in life is easy. Not for me. 8 months later I walked into court. Julie was there. Gave me strength. I told the judge what I hade done. That it all started with Julie believing in me...I was granted...probation...a chance I didn't have coming. Thank you Julie...I know you have a set of wings hidden somewhere.thank you...I won't fail you. I have a life now!

Free and Clear

After years of a legal mess I am finally free and clear. You have succeeded in getting my long list of criminal felony charges to a few simple misdemeanors. I had hired and fired 4 attorney's previous to meeting with you . Each one gave me the same results... NONE. After feeling the wrath of the met...ro police force I did not imagine the end of the fight working in my favor. I have you to thank for that. My life could be so much different without your help. You fight with everything you have, complete dedication . I truly believe you are the best out there. Genuine as one can be. I will always remember you as one of my true blessings in life. Thanks for being my political guardian angel.

She fought for me!

I was recently incarcerated in Clark County Detention Center for 3 1/2 months. I was 5 months pregnant when I was arrested and I was terrified. I didn't know how long I was going to be there and I didn't want to have my baby while in jail. The prenatal care in CCDC is extremely limited and, being tha...t this was my first pregnancy, I had no idea what to expect. There was no way to keep in touch with the doctor nor contact him if I had any questions or concerns. On top of all that were the horror stories I was being told regarding the conditions under which women are forced to give birth while in jail. One girl was shackled to the bed by her ankle all through her labor and delivery of her baby! Two others were told they had to have C-sections, and their incisions didn't heal right and got infected! At my first court date the judge said she wasn't inclined to release me until after I gave birth. Julie Raye fought for me tooth and nail from the start! She worked tirelessly to figure out the best possible scenario for me. She not only wanted to get me out of jail, but she wanted to get me out into the best situation for me and my child. She actually cared about me as a person and wanted what was best for me! I feel blessed to have had Julie as my attorney. I couldn't have asked for better representation.
