severance negotiation

Julian did a severance negotiation on my behalf after I was given a very low offer from my employer. She was very professional and responsive throughout the process and I ended up with a good result that allowed me space to breathe when I was looking for a new job. I would highly recommend her servic...es.

Fierce and awesome

Julian and Robert are great lawyers. Litigation is slow and stressful but I felt they were always fighting for my best interest and the result I got is better than I would have ever expected. I highly recommend them. Because I see a bad review, I will explain my experience and how it was so differ...ent. This is a contingency fee firm so they first interviewed me a few times to learn about my case. I first spoke to Deysi and she made me feel comfortable right away. Next I talked to Julian who is super knowledgeable and walked me through the process, their plan for my case, and what I should expect in terms of next steps. This was helpful in learning what I was signing up for. My case didn't settle right away so we had to file it in court. Altogether it took almost two years. There were parts that were slow but whenever I reached out I got updates and when I was being deposed and mediating my case I felt my case was their first priority. I was honestly surprised at how good the result was and think they believed in it more than I did. All in all, if you are lucky enough to have these lawyers in your corner, you should choose them!

The BEST Attorney

I was so fortunate to have Julian and Elliot as my attorneys for a legal matter with my former employer. They are truly a top notch law firm that will truly work hard to get the justice you deserve. But what I think that sets them from the rest is that they are passionate at what they do, not only do... they want to genuinely help you but they were extremely compassionate and supportive through out my entire legal process. Filing a suit against my former employer was a very intimidating process but the whole team at King & Siegel really made me feel at ease and confident about it. They also tried to shield me as much as they could from the stress, which I really appreciated. Both Elliot and Julian were such a pleasure to work with. They gave great guidance and were supportive every step of the way. What I love most about Julian was that she really took time to listen to my issues and was very kind and empathetic. They are truly the BEST attorneys! Elliot and Julian, I can’t thank you enough.

A great a trustworthy attorney

I was really nervous about hiring a lawyer but Julian and everyone in her office made the process as stress-free as it could be. She is kind, reassuring and confident and that helps make the process feel less scary. she also knows what kinds of outcomes are reasonable and will explain in detail why. ...I cannot recommend her more highly.

Great guidance. Very helpful, thoughtful.

I can't recommend Julian enough for employment related issues.  Highly recommend her and her firm. I found her easy to work with, empathetic to my situation and insightful.  I was going through some tough work issues and she took the time to listen and provide her thoughts and advice. I talked to a ...couple of other lawyers before her and felt that she was empathetic and gave some realistic outlook and advice that would be of most benefit for me. Many other lawyers wouldn't take the time unless they know they will get the fees they want but she was genuinely concerned and looked out for me.
