Helpful, Honest

I am very grateful for Julia. This is a stressful time for me. I was in need of answers and direction for my DUI case. She provided both for me. Julia is an expert in DUI law and it was evident in the first few minutes discussing my case with her. She is direct to the point and extremely clear and he...lpful. Julia only wants the best for you even if she is not the one to represent you. She pointed me in the right direction and referred me to the best attorneys for my specific case. Cant say thank you enough! I highly recommend!

The absolute BEST!

I had a problem with the California Department of Justice having incorrect information (concerning my criminal background information) and wanted to know what I needed to do to correct the misinformation. Julia obviously knew her stuff, and after listening to my questions, asking a few of her own, si...mply asked me, "Do you have pen and paper?" She then walked me through each possible scenario which may arise, what documents I would need to obtain, and how to obtain them. She told me what information I could obtain myself, and under which circumstances I would need to hire an attorney. I'm just taking the first steps now, but should one of the aforementioned scenarios play out in which I did need an attorney, I would not hesitate to hire Julia for a second. Her knowledge of criminal law in both California and Washington state is truly astounding. She also knew all federal law implications... I never thought but best experience of the day would be spent with an attorney; it was, however, and I would recommend her to any and everyone!

I’ve worked in local law enforcement and judicial settings for 15 years and hired Julia, from across state.

I can’t even begin to describe the difference between Julia and other attorneys. Most attorneys are unapproachable, too formal, speak legal terminology, and lack emotion. Julia is in full communication herself and shows me ways that she relates to me. Julia has a balance of legal expertise combin...ed with the strongest communication skills and emotional intelligence, which sets her apart from the rest. I am strong willed and had reached out to Julia previously and she told me news I didn’t want to accept. I went about it my way and it ended exactly as Julia told me it would. She doesn’t sugar coat the news like I’ve seen from most every other attorney for 15 years. You have to trust that she has nothing to gain by telling you unfortunate facts. When I needed a DMV attorney this year, I was basically begging Julia. I personally know over a dozen attorneys and have countless resources but I wouldn’t have trusted any other attorney to handle the case. I live in Northern California and Julia practices in Southern California and I couldn’t think of a better DMV attorney from here to there. Her reviews and endorsements are simply unheard of. Every attorney I know is procedurally driven while Julia is goal driven. Any attorney can hold your hand through legal proceedings, the legal proceedings will in fact proceed regardless of whether or not you have an attorney. It’s the actions your attorney takes or doesn’t take that makes the difference in your outcome. Choosing an attorney is like a game of chess. The sooner you bring them in, the better chance they have at a winning strategy. The more you continue on, the harder it is for them to play their game.

Go straight to hiring Atty. Simmons and don’t waste time looking elsewhere

Having spoken with Atty. Simmons regarding a CA DUI a couple of years ago and getting a family recommended DUI atty instead, I can not stress how much easier Atty Simmons and her firm will make your life just going straight to hiring them. Living in washington now and needing some guidance on getting... my CDL in Washington now (with no help from my hired CA atty from 2 years ago), Atty Simmons was able to quickly get me pointed in the exact right direction, take the stress off and on my way to quickly resolving the CA issue. Being a business owner in both CA and WA of 21 years, I truly appreciate efficiency and clarity from a lawyer, especially when it comes to my personal legal issue at present. She and her firm are 5 stars and I have no doubt anyone who works with them would disagree.

3rd Offense Dui

I hired Julia Simmons to help me with my dui case in California. Things were looking really bad, third offense dui, really high bac, and even a hit and run. I was looking at A LOT of jail time. But Attorney Simmons made the impossible happen and kept me out of jail. That's right, ZERO jail time on a... third offense, high bac, hit and run case. That's unheard of. She is the most knowledgeable person when it comes to DUI's. Do not waste anymore time and give her a call immediately. From our first conversation I knew she was the right attorney, she will fight for you and do everything in her power to get you a good outcome. She also outlines specific steps you need to take before your court date, listen to EVERYTHING she says. Her pre trial advice sets you up for the best possible outcome. Seriously, don't waste anymore time and give Attorney Simmons a call.
