My name is paolo and I was about to face my second DUI and I did not know what to do. Ca has a 0 tolerance policy for second DUI offenses within 10 years. I was most likely going to serve jail time and pay high fines. I searched online for the best lawyer and the first name to pop up was Julia Simmon...s. I called her made an appointment and met with her. She then told me not to worry that she would fight until the end and that's exactly what she did. She was able to reduce my second offense into only a traffic ticket. Now I don't have to worry about having a bad record and can continue with school and accomplish my goals. Julia is awesome, she's very straight forward and does not beat around the bush. I recommend Julia Simmons 200% because she actually cares about her clients!

I was very stupid and got a 2nd DUI within 6 months of my first DUI conviction. On top of it I wrecked my car and almost killed myself - let alone hurt or kill someone else. I was lucky. But going up against the District Attorney and a system designed to punish, I was not going to leave anything t...o luck. Simply put - I was looking at up to 1 year in jail and losing more than I really want to think about. I needed a VERY GOOD attorney. I got lucky again when I found Julia. After talking with her for less than a minute I knew I had found the right attorney. I could tell she knew what she was talking about. Multiple DUI's are not cookie cutter like your first one. You need an attorney with judicial and system knowledge that knows how to maneuver within the system and get you your best possible outcome. Julia Simmons kept me out of jail and minimized the damage I caused for myself. You've already done something stupid or you wouldn't be looking for a DUI attorney and reading this. DO SOMETHING SMART AND HIRE JULIA SIMMONS!! Then continue to do the smart thing and do exactly what she tells you to do. Take it from a former C-Level executive who spent a 40 year career hiring the right people for the right job. HIRE JULIA and then do what she tells you to do. You will be glad you did.

I hired Julia to fight a DUI case that I had and it was incredibly nerve wrecking to go through it all and not have any idea what to do or how to go about handling it. I almost made the mistake of following through with another attorney, HOWEVER, as soon as I found Julia... She saved my life, LITERAL...LY!!! I have absolutely NO regrets in hiring her and she pulled through with everything she said she would. I was also advised and informed on future outcomes/procedures. If you have ANY legal problems, don't think...just hire Julia now! You will NOT regret it. EVERY penny is worth it. Thank you Julia for all the amazing hard work you did for me. YOU are an AMAZING lawyer and you're going to rise to the top!

I was calling around for lawyers and had no experience because I never ever needed a DMV lawyer in my life, because simply, I don’t break the law. However, no matter how minor my case was, I felt like it was in my best interest to have representation since you never know who you get at DMV hearings o...r what mood they’re in. After calling numerous lawyers in the OC for a week, I got tired of the ones that were just after the money. One lawyer just told me to come into his office and pay $100 so he can consult me if I even needed a lawyer or not. Another lawyer basically said my case was so simple that he didn’t have time to take it. A few other lawyers just said they have never heard of anything like my case but they *think* they can help me. Most of them didn’t want to talk on the phone for long, and the ones that I emailed kept their responses short because they’d rather work on actual cases that involved DUI’s and cost over $10k. I started to worry that even if a lawyer did take my case, they wouldn’t pay attention to it. Either way, Julia was one of the last lawyers I found and called. She called me back right away and I explained my situation. To my surprise she talked to me for over 30 minutes on the phone about my case. I got more helpful information from her than all the other 10+ lawyers that I called. In addition, she knows the people at the DMV soooooo well that she explained to me clearly what I needed to do and who I needed to talk to, and what information I needed to find out about my case. I started to feel like I didn’t need a lawyer after I talked to her. I called her back later because I still had questions, and she found out I was nearby. So she actually waited for me to get off work to meet her, and then we talked for almost an hour on a bench. So nice right? This was like almost 8pm! I was really surprised by how much effort she put into hearing me out and “comforting” me because I had never been in this situation before. It was precisely because she was so helpful, that I decided to hire her because she made me feel safer. I felt that someone was on my side watching out for me. It was money well spent. Worth several months not shopping or going out!! Her office is also full of competent people! Naly is her paralegal and she also watches out for you and keeps tabs on your case. There was an issue where a someone made a mistake, but Naly caught it right away and saved me so much time. It was because of her that my case didn’t drag on forever until the Earth exploded into a Supernova and our Universe got sucked into a super massive black hole and all life on Earth and in our tiny Universe ended as we know it. I know you’re probably wondering, “Is this true? Sounds too good to be true!” To be honest, that’s what I thought too. But it’s not. I think it’s because Julia just really wants to help people. She’s young, she’s smart, she’s like you and me, she's relatable, she understands what we’re going through and just happens to have spent years learning about the law to know how to protect us. Julia is also very charismatic and adaptable, she can size people up right away and knows how to handle them. This is truly an asset for a lawyer, because that’s what they have to do all day long. And in many cases, the result of a case is dependent upon how much talent in this area a lawyer has, and Julia is truly gifted here. You know how sometimes there are really aggressive or easy going lawyers? There’s a time and place for everything and if miscalculated you can really piss off the wrong person. I felt completely safe that Julia would be able to read the situation clearly and know how to act, and how to advise me to act. TL;DR: If you need a lawyer, hire Julia or you may regret it. And the DMV is not something you want to take chances on. Really.
