Skilled But Manage Billing Expectations

Strengths: Helpful, knowledgeable, energetic, strong courtroom presence. Weaknesses: Billing concerns. Time spent on non-prioritized matters. Recommendation: Consider Julia for her legal skills, but ensure clear communication upfront regarding priorities and budget to avoid billing issues.

Julia Bressman - Fantastic , Super Woman and a Life Saver !

Julia Bressman is the best ! She is extremely knowledgeable , dedicated and a true professional. My case was difficult and complicated with false allegations. I had to fight both Criminal and Family court cases at the same time. Believe me , I tried hard consulting with many prior to meeting with Ju...lia. No one came close to how prepared Julia was prior to consultation. Julia was the only attorney willing to take the case head on and stand by me. Thank you Julia ! She read my file , was very inviting , addressed all my concerns and gave me so much information , encouragement and comfort . All this even without charging a dime ! All other Attorneys I consulted before weren't even willing to spend that much time or look at the case in that much detail. The case proceedings were challenging but Julia and Team worked extremely hard to drive results in under 6 months ! That too all on our terms ! The other side played tricks but Julia saw them coming and had good plans. Her negotiation skills are exemplary. I don't see how a judge can ever say NO to her ! Julia stands for Justice and I can't thank her enough for what she has done for my kid and I. We love you Julia. Go save the world. Julia for President !

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
