Best Representation Ever

When I called Julia I did not know what to expect. I was being charged with my foruth DUI facing prison time and a felony conviction. Julia did not sweet talk me like other attorneys to hype my hopes and follow through with little results. Instead she told me, "this is what it is, this is what is goi...ng to happen and this is what I can do." There was something inside me that snapped when she told me this and I knew right away she was the real deal. She kept me out of prison, made a deal to reduce my felony to a misdemeanor and somehow finds the patience to still deal with me. I am eternally greatful for the second chance she has fought for me to have. If you want real, aggressive and quality representation that brings real reults, then look no further. I would be doing a huge disservice to everyone charged with a DUI if I did not tell you from personal experience to hire Julia Simmons!

This client had one of the most serious 4th Offense DUI cases I've handled to date. His cases were back to back with several suspended license convictions. DA demanded 2 years state prison but my client followed my program and the case resolved for ZERO Jail. This is a fine outcome.. whatever... WHAT I WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING IS FOR THIS HIGHLY EDUCATED, BRILLIANT, AND ARTICULATE CLIENT NEVER TO NEED MY SERVICES AGAIN. PLEASE PUT ALCOHOL IN YOUR PAST.

DISMISSED MY CASE

Ms. Simmons took on my case about a year ago for my DUI. She was able to file a motion in court that they had never seen before. MS. Simmons never gave on me and my case and through her dedication and hard work she was able to get it dismissed by the court and have me on a 36 month diversion program.... I am so greatly thankful that I chose to hire her any other lawyer would have just handled this case like any other DUI case. Her staff may come off a bit forward but trust me it is all for the better of the case and the client. Through Ms. Simmons selfless dedication to her clients she was able to find a reasonable resolution to my case.

.16 and no speeding tickets.

If anyone is considering Julia Simmons and her team I would advise you stop looking around and hire her asap. I was found in the unfortunate predicsment of my first dui with a blood reading of .16 and also a major speeding ticket. Every other lawyer had told me that due to the speeding I was looking ...at a mandatory sentence of 60 days since it would be an enhancement. Not only did her office assure me that they can get it taken care of, I didn't even get a speeding ticket or jail time. I couldn't be happier.

Just what the doctor ordered!

From the moment I met with Julia, I knew she was the right person to handle my case. I spoke with other DUI lawyers and halted conversations with others. She was the right person for the job! And from that day she was extremely helpful, forthcoming and very responsive. She made the entire process fro...m start to finish quite comfortable for me. She was there when I needed her and answered all my questions with pure honesty and professionalism (and I asked a lot!). I always knew what I was getting. She guided me at every step of my case from DUI Court to the Criminal case - and many times she represented me on her own and I was very appreciative of that as my job can be quite hectic and hard to get away from at times. In the end, I was very happy with the outcome. Julia, I can't thank you enough for how well you put my mind to ease during this time of my life, and I am truly grateful for your services. Keep up the great work - and - for anyone looking for a DUI lawyer, Julia Simmons is your gal!

Outstanding and knowledgeable lawyer

Ms. Simmons was outstanding in resolving our case. She took on our case after a guilty verdict and poor work from a previous lawyer. After being sent to jail and there seemed to be no hope, Ms. Simmons was able to file a motion with the court, find cases that had precedent, convince the court that ou...r case needed to be dismissed and ultimately got our case resolved and out of jail. Ms. Simmons and her staff kept us in the loop during the whole process which was quite helpful in letting us know where we stood with the case at all times. We highly recommend Ms. Simmons and would definitely use her services again. Simply fantastic!

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU HIRE AN ATTORNEY WHO DOESN'T KNOWN MULTIPLE OFFENSE DUI FOR A THIRD DUI OFFENSE. This was a very very sad situation. This client came to me with complaints about her attorney prior to her plea. I indicated to this client that she was eligible for custodial credit because the judge placed her on house arrest pending her third offense DUI. I actually turned her away, told her I'd speak to her attorney. Her attorney was a criminal defense attorney twice my age. I provided him with the law, the arguments, and the statute. He was thankful. Two or so months later, I get a frantic late night call from this clients family. Apparently the other attorney failed to get her credit and although she was told she'd only be in jail for less than 10 days, 50 days later she still was in jail. I then submitted a motion for credit. Even the judge said they already heard these arguments from the last attorney but THE PRIOR ATTORNEY DID NOT INCLUDE NECESSARY CASE LAW. I, however did. Judge couldn't believe it and granted my motion. Client was released from custody that day.
