I recommend Julia Jayne

I found Julia thru Yelp searching for trustful attorney, and since then contacted her twice regarding different occasions. Every time I was extremely impressed how responsive and helpful she was.There are so many great things I'd like to say about Julia. She is a very compassion and highly intelligen...t attorney who is truly hands-on with her client cases, even it is just a consultation over the phone. Julia is a great listener, very detailed oriented and customer-centered. Her level of expertise, organization and professionalism is untouchable. I'd highly commend Julia to everyone who wants their attorney to be smart and available for you and/or your loved ones during rough times.

Julia Jayne is a high-caliber professional!

Julia helped me with a case in which I felt incredibly helpless. I had told the truth about a horrible incident in which I was not the aggressor, but I ended up in jail anyway - facing felony charges. Within a week the case had been dismissed, and along the way Julia's calm, confident approach helped... me get through each day. I've never faced anything like that before, and hopefully never will again, but Julia made it somehow tolerable. I would recommend her to anyone. As a sidenote, I rarely take the time to submit reviews online about anything, but the level of service I recieved from Julia can't go unappreciated. Bottom line - contact her. You won't regret it.

Excellent Representation

Ms Jayne was retained in connection with a drunk and disorderly charge in Santa Clara County. She was very dilligent in monitoring the matter and kept in constant communication with me. She is both knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend her.

Great defense lawyer -- DUI

I was referred to Julia after I I got a DUI driving back from a company party. I was facing 4 different violations, but managed to get those dropped to one. Julia found a few errors in the arrest report and was able to leverage those during negotiations for a much less severe penalty. I still paid a ...bit in fines, have mandatory classes, and some community service, but with as high a BAC as I had, I think it's the best possible scenario. What I appreciate most and what I think sets her apart is her responsiveness to any and all questions I had. I never needed to wait more than a day for a response, and most came within a few hours. Given some stressful situations I was in, it was great to have quick reassurance. And despite feeling like a real idiot and embarrassed about my poor decision, I never felt judged or criticized by her. She's not a therapist to whom you can whine about your problems, but she will treat you with respect and argue determinedly to represent you in the best possible way.

Amazing Criminal Attorney

I am giving Julia Jayne 5 stars because she kept my son from going to prison. It's that simple. He was living in a college town, charged with a serious crime, and we were being told by everyone in that town that he was simply going to be found guilty. No one listened to his side of the story -- no...t the DA, not the local lawyers, and certainly not the judge. It didn't matter that the alleged victim never pressed charges. It didn't matter that there was no physical evidence to back up the charges. It didn't matter that my son had no criminal history whatsoever. The DA was going to make an example out of my son for her own purposes. His life was ending right before my eyes and I felt powerless to help him. We first worked with the local Public Defender. She believed there was no real case, but had such a heavy case load that she couldn't properly defend my son. We then interviewed three local 'top' attorneys who all gave us a very grim outlook, and retained the best of the three. After nine months of fruitless phone calls to him, virtually no communication on the status of the case, and absolutely NO progress, we realized he was not going to help. Despite the large outlay of money, the complete anxiety of the case and it's far reaching implications for my son, and the fact that his life had been in a suspended state for over a year, we decided it was time to find a good attorney. We searched every possible way to find an aggressive, intelligent, fearless attorney who would take the time to understand the case. We found Julia. She listened to my son's side of the story, she read through hundreds of pages of interviews, listened to hours of tape recordings, spent hours with my son, and asked every possible question to try to understand what really happened. She very quickly understood how fraudulent this case was, but also realized how committed to it the D.A. was. She never promised us she could get it dismissed, but she gave us her commitment that she would fight it in the toughest way possible. And she did. During the next few months she went to battle (including using an aggressive, and very smart, investigator) and got ALL the felony charges dismissed. Julia thinks strategically and her skills in negotiating with the prosecution are stellar. Her communication with us was constant and very clear. She responded to our questions immediately and completely. She never made us feel insignificant -- no matter how many times we called on her. She was fearless against a very tough female D.A. She listened to my son and took the time to understand his case. We will forever appreciate Julia for her effort and kindness, and for giving my son his life back. I truly believe you will never find a better attorney.
