.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.

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.

2cnd DUI Reduced to a Wet Reckless

I am very pleased I retained Julia Simmons as my Attorney . I was stupid and careless about 10 mo ago when me and my wife went out . I went wrong way down a one way and was immediately pulled over . I had a low blood alcohol limit 0.8 but was arrested anyways . I was facing my 2cnd DUI in 6 years . I... hired Julia because of her specialized field and was very pleased the moment I met her . She instucted me of what I needed to do before my case outcome . I was very scared because of what I was facing but had to be patient because it takes 6mo to a year for your case to be resolved . Needless to say Julia got my DMV case set aside , my DUI reduced to a Wet Reckless . I would highly recommend Julia if you are facing a second DUI . Dont settle for less because this is your life and you deserve the best .

Elite DUI Attorney

I met Julia Simmons through a process of elimination as I shopped around for an attorney for three weeks. I was convinced I had found the best attorney after talking to Julia, she gave me a great quote and was willing to negotiate. She genuinely cares about her clients and is very blunt about the tru...th. She is highly intellectual and a master of her craft. She was able to dramatically lower my jail time. If you're wondering who the best attorney for multiple DUI's is; you've found her.

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.
