Julia is the best!!!

I was looking all over for a lawyer to help me with my 4th dui case in a period of 5 years. I was looking at prison time. I did my research and it's not a coincidence that when you google best dui lawyer it leads you to Julia. She helped me settle my case for the same result as my previous lawyer got... for the third dui. I am extremely thankful for all her work. She help me stay out of jail and also guide me to get the help I needed to stop drinking. If you have a dui case she's the best you can hire.

Thank you Julia!

Hiring Julia Simmons was the best decision I have ever made. I received a DUI in December of 2015. I lived in California at the time. My fiancé and I were ready to move to Hawaii in a few months. Then, I made the mistake of my life.. I got a DUI! I could not believe this happened! But it did.. ... one to many glasses of wine.. I thought I was OK to drive… as everyone thinks… but I wasn’t. My BAC was .15. I spent the night in jail. As you will know, if you are looking at this site, what a horrible experience. When I got home I researched the internet and came across Julia’s website. She specializes in multiple DUI’s, I got my very first DUI five years prior.. it was New Years Eve. Everything I read on Julia’s website lead me to believe she was a good lawyer, so I hired her. She advised me from the first day what I needed to do and I did everything she advised. I was able to move to my new home in Hawaii a few months later. My case was not heard for almost one year. Julia appeared on my behalf, so I did not need to attend court. She negotiated with the DA and was able to minimize my sentence. Part of my sentence was 45 days in jail! I was given the option of Rehab, which I gladly agreed to. In that one year I was always worried about the outcome. But as time went by, I felt more and more confident that things would be ok. I would have to pay a lot of money in fines, rehab, etc., I accepted the consequences. I have been living in Hawaii for close to a year now. I did receive four year probation, I check in once a month. I did have to complete an 18 month DUI program. Hawaii does not have ‘in person’ classes like CA so I take them on-line. It’s a great on-line course, very informative. I have completed about half of it. The on-line program is a total of 78 hours, so I should complete it in a couple of months. So… everything has turned out well. Having Julia and her team on my side relieved a hugh amount of anxiety for me over the course of a year. She is highly knowledgeable and I highly recommend Julia, should you need an excellent attorney. So.. life goes on.. I love living here in Hawaii. I love that this is all pretty much behind me. Mainly, I love the fact that I have not had a drop to drink, white wine was my thing, since my DUI, December 2015. I attend AA meetings here in Kona, once a week or so… great people… we meet on the beach… Life is good… Thank you Julia and staff… Aloha Lynn

3rd Dui

Julia Simmons helped put me on the right track. She was aggressive and skilled. She kept me out of prison on my 3rd Dui. The case carried 7 other charges with it. Thank you Aspen Law Group.

I am happy and would recommend.

I was referred to Julia by a contact of mine and was pleased with the results and ease of the case, being my second DUI. I had 2.9 blood alcohol from when they drew my blood in the hospital.... long story. I don't remember anything. But glad it is behind me without the assault charge and no jail and ...3 month classes only. I appreciate the convenient, discrete nature and investigative approach to help my case. Being a small business owner and single parent I was glad I didn't skip a beat. Thank you!!!

BRAVO !!! I'M FREE !!!

Where do I start? When I first contacted Julia, she was straight to the point. No sugar coding BS. She told me the truth, and she also explained my charges for what they really were. Out of all of the lawyers that I contacted, she presented her self as the most confident. That was what I needed in my... current situation. Long story short, I have 3 DUI'S and I automatically assumed that I was headed to prison. I just knew the Law was not on my side! Considering what I could have received, I thank the man above for sending me this bad ass lawyer. I was looking at, at least 1 year in jail and i received 6 months in residential treatment and 5 yrs informal probation. The crazy thing is, I had received my first DUI when I was a minor and the Judicial System counted my initial DUI and had me under a habitual offender, "FOUR DUI'S"! Julia is extremely assertive, and to some she may appear too confident or aggressive, but don't mind that, focus on the important issue at hand, the fact that you can be looking at some serious time! Remember, she's a lawyer, not a therapist. She's not there to hold your hand, or stroke your ego. My advice is, "DO EVERYTHING THAT SHE ASK". If you follow her command, she can make it happen for you. If you don't, well that's your bad. I recommend Julia because she fought hard and she exceeded my expectations. Julia and her team mad the impossible, possible. Just and FYI, all of my DUI'S were back to back. I had 4, including the minor offense in a 6 year span. All of the lawyers I spoke to sounded as though I had no chance what so ever. i'm 24 btw. I say this to say, HIRE JULIA, she'll save you ass!
