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.

Julia is the BEST!!!

I would recommend ANYONE to Julia at Aspen Law Group!!!!! She has helped my Son with a DUI which gave us peace of mind!! First, you actually meet with her directly and amazingly enough with her schedule she gets you in right away. She is the real deal, professional and caring of your situation ...and fears. If you know anything about attorneys, caring usually never makes the list. Secondly, she and her office keeps you completely informed through the process. Believe it or not, she actually returns your phone calls!!! She has helped us beyond the call of her duty. Thank you Julia for everything!!!! Robin

Julia is amazing! Be smart and hire her!

I got my second DUI where I blew a really high BAC level and I was also involved in an accident that was my fault. I was scared to death of going to jail. Julia was able to help me stay out of jail and I was able to keep my job. Julia really knows all angles of the DUI defense and is very trustworthy.... The judge asked that I do 90 days sobriety in a sober living house and my wife was pregnant during this same time. My wife was due towards the end of my 90 days sober living and Julia went back to court and got my sentence reduced after-the-fact. So I was able to come home and be with my wife !!! So many thanks go out to Julia and her staff, I strongly recommend her!

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!

I stumbled upon Julia's Profile. Thank god I did!

Julia helped me so much with a 2nd DUI. She has carved out such a niche for herself by REALLY knowing what to expect with the Court, the DMV and anything else that could possibly come up. She doesn't just guess at stuff and hope she is right as I've seen with other attorneys, she is sure of the answe...rs she provides. She is extremely knowledgeable and straight to the point. She quickly corrected a mistake which would have cost me several thousand dollars and a LOT of time. She caught it on our first conversation VIA telephone after I had spoken with two seperate attorney's who never even paused on the mistake. She truly knows her stuff and I would recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in the unfortuanate situation of a second DUI. I would also highly recommend AA. ;)
