Julia Bressman is fantastic - an actual attorney who is Smart, Caring, Capable, Honest and Focused

Julia did more on my case for a quarter of the fees, and a fraction of the time of my previous attorneys. My case is very complex, and my ex has more money and and a big San Jose law firm... Julia was never intimidated by the paper avalanches from the ex-wife’s firm, who’s sole strategy was to bury m...e with BS to financially dry me out. She developed a strategy and stuck with it. Having been involved in a long divorce, and having dealt with many of the lawyers in Silicon Valley, I can wholeheartedly recommend Julia. If you want a lawyer is intelligent, capable, and will actually take the time to understand the challenges of your specific case and develop a strategy to reach your desired outcome, call Julia. A lot of lawyers just want to go through the motions and send you bills every month without making any real progress, Julia actually wanted me to get my life back. That difference in approach is all the difference in the world. I would of been lost, and certainly lost my case without Julia. Highly, highly recommended.

Smart, Ethical, Accomplished

I had the pleasure of working with Julia during a long drawn out dissolution of marriage. She came on my case when it appeared to be heading to trial with numerous upcoming court appearances. My legal fees were mounting in addition to the stress for me and my children. Julia sensed that and brought... about a timely settlement that was complex and stopped the litigation bleeding. She is intelligent, resourceful, compassionate, ethical and cares so much for her clients and their families. She does not engage in tactics to incite the divorce proceedings but will stand up for what is right when it is needed. I have worked with other attorneys and I can unequivocally stand by my five star review of this exceptional attorney.

Simply - The Absolute Best !

In praise and grateful appreciation of Julia B. Bressman, Esquire, and her assistant, Stacey Brindle. During my initial consultation with Attorney Bressman, I was impressed with her professionalism, knowledge and willingness to do whatever it took to accomplish my goal of obtain a Dissolution of m...y Marriage. She did not flinch when she found out I had just moved to Santa Clara County (6 weeks before our meeting), and that my spouse lived in the State of Missouri. Julia researched and developed a very well thought out plan of attack, explained to me what and how she would be filing for the Dissolution and asked for my concurrence - which I readily gave her. On the thirtieth day after the filing, the default date if no answer was filed, my spouse, through a California Attorney, filed a Motion to Quash based on the allegation of non-service. In addition, she filed a Divorce action in the State of Missouri. At first blush this had all the trappings of becoming a messy, complicated and expensive divorce. Ms. Bressman had to work with my spouse’s California Counsel, retained on a special limited appearance basis, and I had to hire an attorney in Missouri. Ms. Bressman could not represent me in Missouri, so she had to work with my Missouri attorney to obtain the best possible outcome for me. AND SHE DID!! Ms. Bressman and Ms. Brindle worked tirelessly on my behalf with California and Missouri Counsel and Ms. Bressman successfully negotiated (with California Counsel) and secured an extremely favorable monetary portion of what turned out to be the final Marital Separation Agreement. The date of the of the Motion to Quash was January 17, 2018 and the divorce was final on April 5, 2018. I would have never dreamed it could be done, so well, and so quickly. During meetings, emails, phone calls and copies of proceedings, Ms. Bressman and Ms. Brindle, kept me informed on a timely basis and returned my phone calls the same day I left a message for her. In addition, a separate thank you and appreciation to Ms. Brindle who was instrumental in providing me copies of pleadings, making sure I was kept up to date on what was transpiring with my case, and most importantly, especially with helping to keep costs down. Therefore, for the reasons cited above, Ms. Bressman and Ms. Brindle are extremely competent, knowledgeable professionals whom I recommend without qualification. Oh, yes, I forgot to say, I am an attorney - licensed in Michigan, so I know of what I speak! Thank you for everything Ms. Bressman and Ms. Brindle, and as is often said but I assure you never meant as much, the two of you are "The Absolute Best"!!!!! My sincere best wishes to both of you for continued success personally and professionally, Frank
