Julia specializes in mutliple dui's, keeping you out of Jail and keeping the public safe; It's a WIN-WIN.

First, let me say, Julia is an expert in multiple dui's. I hired Julia after my 4th DUI (all in a 2 year span). Needless to say, I needed help; legally and personally. Well, I ended up finding both through Julia. I was looking at possible 2 year prison term. She required me to move into a sober l...iving home, attend AA meetings and get a SCRAM bracelet, all of which has contributed to putting me back on track to responsibility and redemption (I am a college graduate and military veteran). By following her instructions, I ensured the safety of the public, myself and built up proof of sobriety while she worked to negotiate a plea bargain. By doing what she said and putting my trust into her hands, she negotiated for me a 12 month rehabilitation sentence, rather than the 2 years of Jail/prison time that the prosecutor was seeking. All things being considered, I couldn't be more pleased. She doesn't beat around the bush, she is dead serious when it comes to ensuring the safety of the public and she does care about you. Don't expect to be coddled, just listen, follow her EVERY instruction and make a decision to change the course of your life and she will come through for you. If you don't do what she says and you get a raw deal, then it's your fault, no one else's. She has a recipe that is a WIN-WIN, for you and the public.

Julia Simmons is THE BEST DUI Attorney - Period!

Julia Simmons is, by far, THE BEST DUI ATTORNEY - PERIOD!! I had two DUI's within 8 months and totaled my car in the second one. Due to the short time frame between the two DUI's and high BAC's I was looking at jail time along with everything else. After my second DUI I knew I was in trouble an...d needed EXPERT ADVISE. When I met Julia I knew instantly she was the RIGHT ATTORNEY TO KEEP ME OUT OF JAIL. She was direct, to the point, and no nonsense. Yet at the same time, she was warm and caring and took a personal interest in me and my family. Julia told me what I had to do to help myself while she handled things on her end. I DID EXACTLY WHAT SHE TOLD ME TO DO. To make a long story short, the DA pushed hard for jail time. The judge was leaning toward jail as well. JULIA KEPT FIGHTING HARD FOR ME AND WOULD NOT GIVE UP. The deciding factor was simply her expertise and persuasive skills. Not only did I not go to jail, I didn't even have home confinement which is common in place of jail. Her DMV EXPERTISE is unparalleled. I had received conflicting information from the DMV on several occasions. Julia handled it promptly. Her knowledge of DMV issues is so highly regarded other attorney's ask for her advise. Along the way, Julia and her staff kept me informed and up to date. When I had a question she was responsive and knowledgeable. She would even call me after office hours when she should be home with her family. I suspect that others who write negative reviews about Julia do not follow her direction exactly as given, and/or don't pay her very reasonable fee as promised. Also, keep in mind that Julia is a DUI attorney specializing in MULITPLE DUI cases. Her cliental are generally drunks and alcoholics. Not the most responsible people on the planet. I know, I'm a recovering alcoholic - 19 months sober. If you are in the unfortunate position of needing her services, forget any negative reviews - HIRE JULIA!! It will be the BEST DECISION YOU CAN MAKE.

Attorney Julia Simmons

Recently I had the privilege to work with Attorney Julia Simmons on an important Non-DUI-related DMV matter. As I've learned, this is a very specialized niche area of the law. Working with the DMV can be very tricky and difficult because in their world they are the judge, jury, and executioner. In... other words, they have absolute power. Julia Simmons and her team at Aspen Law Group understand DMV related legal matters. More importantly, Julia understands the system and has a great working relationship with many of those throughout the legal and DMV System. Julia is prompt, responsive, professional, honest, and gets excellent results for her clients in DMV related matters. I am a real person, a long time resident of Orange County, and was is a very bad position with my driver's license in jeopardy with the DMV in the State of California. I believe that Julia Simmons saved my privilege to drive by getting my license reinstated on the spot during the very first meeting visit with the DMV, I highly recommend Julia and Aspen Law Group to anyone who finds themselves and their drivers license in jeopardy!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AT DUI DEFENSE!!!

Julia Simmons and her staff at Aspen Law Group saved my life! I am a multiple DUI offender and I was scared to death that I was going to prison for a long time because of my stupidity. When I looked for a lawyer I stumbled across her website and read all the reviews...at first I couldn't believe a la...wyer could have that many good reviews. Trust me, I have hired plenty. But when we talked on the phone I could tell she was different. She actually cared about my situation. She was very up front and honest from the beginning. I took her advice and did exactly what she told me to do as the case was going through court. I decided to hire her and I am very glad I did. When it came down to it....I was being charged with DUI with 2 priors. I thought I was screwed. I don't live in California. I was there for work when I got the DUI. In fact I have never even met Julia except for our conversations on the phone and email. However, she has always answered my phone calls or called back and her staff is amazing at helping me out. When it was all said and done I spent absolutely 0 days in jail. She was able to get me approved for online classes. She has been worth every penny. She saved my career, my family, and my life. As a direct result of hiring her.... I have been sober for almost 9 months. In the short time since this DUI every aspect of my life has gotten better. Thanks Julia and staff at Aspen Law Group. You guys are great!!!!!
