Julia Simmons - DMV Hearing

Prior to speaking with Julia Simmons, I had spoken with several other attorneys regarding a DMV hearing to reinstate my driving privilege. My driving record with the DMV is 8 pages long, and I was losing hope. After my first conversation with Ms. Simmons, It became clear that she was the attorney I w...anted to represent me. She made no promises, but felt confident that she would bring this to a successful resolution. She assured me that upon the agreed fee, she would handle my case to the end, even if that meant numerous appeals. She was professional, organized, and competent with the DMV process, from start to finish. She laid out a 3 stage strategy and stuck to it. When the DMV Hearing came, everything went exactly as Ms. Simmons had explained to me. There were no surprises. In fact, I didn’t even have to attend the hearing, as it was done over the telephone. I am pleased to announce that my driving privilege was reinstated that very day! I strongly recommend Julia Simmons to anyone who is in a similar situation, and wants to have the matter successfully resolved.

DMV Suspended License

Julia explained my situation to me in a way I could understand and also explained how most doctors work in regarding medical evaluation. If I had the money to hire her, I would, because i got the feeling that she could really help. But she gave me enough advice to try and go about this on my own. I w...ould also call back if I had any further questions. Thanks Julia for all your advice.

no better than a public defender

Julia did not inform me of all my options for my dui case nor did she even try to fight to get me a better deal with the d.a. Now that the case has gone through she won't even return my phone calls and every time i try calling everyone has "stepped out"is the response i keep getting.A public defende...r could have done a better job with my case.Her assistant even agreed with me about the details of my case that shouldn't have happened.take your money some where else

I find this comment very interesting considering I meet with my clients in my office to discuss the strengths and weaknesses before any plea. I also tell my clients I specifically take every Monday off to do nothing but meet clients in my office and answer questions. All my office lines are sent directly to my cell phone in the evenings and weekends, and believe it or not I ACTUALLY PICK UP THE PHONE. To say that my assistant agreed with you is a bold face lie. Saying I don't return my calls is a bold face lie. I don't know of a single client who has spoken to me and told me they're upset with their negotiated offer. I don't pressure my clients into pleading. Look at my case results, they're dated and it shows I get cases dismissed frequently. I ask this client to call me and speak to me about your case. If you're so unhappy, we can withdraw the plea, and I won't charge you for that motion. I can't, however, promise I will be able to obtain the same deal.

Amazing lawyer! Worst case, best outcome!

Julia Simmons saved my life. I came to her out on bail with 5 charges and a lot of priors. It sounds so cheesy, but I mean it sincerely, she was selflessly dedicated to my case. During my hearing I caught yet another case and still in the end received the mildest sentence with most of my charges drop...ped. This is all due to Julia and her diligent team. She knew what she was doing, handled herself intelligently, professionally and confidently. She is by far the sharpest woman I've ever encountered. I gave an extensive criminal history, have spent years in court and worked with many attorneys. I have never seen or heard of anyone pulling of what she did for me. I am indescribably impeded by and grateful to her. I literally owe her everything.
