Julie Anne Oberbillig

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!!!!!!

Julie is knowledgeable, assertive, and experienced. Within hours of hiring her, she took the iniative to dive in to my issue and start the leg work. And she continued the same level of assertiveness throughout my case. When I had questions she was there. When I wondered if I had a chance at p...revailing she gave me sound, reasonable advice. When I was at a loss she expertly filled the gaps and trudged forward with her well thought out plan. Julie was unafraid to deal with my employer who acted as if they were untouchable. This employer is a huge part of the State government and yet she stepped right up to the red tape and cut through it with great skill and expertise. Hopefully I will not need another employment law attorney but if I do, I'm going to definitely call Julie!

She did a wonderful job at helping me with my concerns about unemployment and union dues question. Explained what I should do and maybe what I could expect to happen. She answered me very quickly and I appreciate all her help. Now I feel a little better, having more hope that I may have a chance to r...eceive some payments from them and not be completely disqualified.

Julie represented me in an unemployment hearing. My previous employer did some illegal things such as discrimination. She helped me stand up, tell the truth and defend my rights. I really feel truth and justice won in my case because of her knowledge, hard work, and simply just being awesome at what ...she does. She went above and beyond many times.
