Julie Anne Oberbillig

I hired Julie to appeal the decision that the unemployment department had made. Julie was excellent and spent many hours talking me through the appeal process and the court hearing. Julie is kind, generous, dedicated, and a great attorney! She even went above and beyond and warned my previous employe...r of defamation. Overall, she listened to my needs and got the decision appealed. She helped me through a stressful situation and a long court hearing while having had my back the whole time. I would recommend her to anyone and hire her again!

I was suffering wage theft, I was without a support system and researched attorneys in Washington state for my ESD appeal. Julie is very busy and has a high case load but was available to me!.... it was maybe a 5 month long process and Julie kept me in the loop and we got busy towards the hearing ti...me.... we were well prepared and she was a great coach, made me feel at ease for the first time in many months and as though I had a champion on my side... you must be honest with her, be patient, help her find information if you can and listen to her.... I had to learn to listen more and she was a kindly teacher in many ways.... very affordable at a vulnerable time for me and I prevailed because of her in a very confusing landscape of legalities.... she is my champion, and I suggest you make her your own.

I quit my job of almost 2 years because of illegal activity. I was denied unemployment. My appeal hearing for “just cause quit” took 4 months to finally get and throughout those months, Julie and I kept contact. She was always accessible via text, phone and email. She took a LOT of time to talk t...o me on many occasions and I feel she went way over and above what she was compensated for. She met with me before my hearing and not only did she make me feel prepared (and help prepare me!) she put me at ease. When it came to the hearing, it was a long one. I know 100% if I had not hired her I would not have won. She knew exactly what questions to ask and what to object to. There were a lot of variables to navigate and she made the complicated mess of my employment simple. She helped me prove my employer had broken at least one law and that I’d complained about it. I will be forever grateful to Julie and feel lucky to have found her. The only advice I have to anyone reading this is to maybe call her BEFORE you quit! Also, always appeal if you are denied (with Julie’s help!!). Thank you, Julie!!!!!!

Ms. Oberbillig represented me as the claimant on an unemployment appeal and a subsequent petition for review from the commissioner's office. Ms. Oberbillig was thorough and conscientious. She was steadfast in her belief in my case and supported me throughout the process. She was easy to reach via ema...il and responded quickly to my inquiries. Ms. Oberbillig is experienced in the appeals process and has an extensive knowledge of unemployment law. I felt extremely confident in her abilities. We did prevail on my case at the commissioners level after a reversal of benefits at the first level of appeals. Had we not prevailed I would still have written a glowing review of Ms. Oberbillig. I am grateful I retained her services.
