I hired Julia Jayne based on the recommendation of a friend who is a lawyer (who doesn't practice criminal law). My goal was to negotiate a face to face meeting with a hostile group that were planning to bring criminal charges against me. Her advice for my situation was excellent in every respect. Th...e meeting she arranged went very well and her presence there was a key factor in convincing the group to work toward a successful out of court settlement that Julia negotiated with the group's lawyer. Through the entire process Julia conducted herself professionally. She was competent, knowledgeable and supportive. She was able to help me resolve an extremely stressful situation. Her fees were also very reasonable. Based on my experience, I would recommend Julia Jayne without reservation.
