I can confidently recommend Julia Simmons as a top attorney. She has a commanding understanding of the law, treats her clients with respect and courtesy, and provides clear and straightforward answers to difficult legal questions. Navigating the legal system will always be challenging, but you would be well served working with Ms. Simmons to see you through the process.

Julia is amazing. She is knowledgable, ethical and amazing to her clients. She answers every question --and is an absolute pleasure to deal with. She knows the DMV procedures inside and out and DUI law like no other.

Dana represented my son in unreasonably exaggerated high school criminal case. Dana is a knowledgeable, respected and smart juvenile attorney. Throughout all the process, we were well informed of every and each step. She took her time to explain everything in detail. She is also helpful and very kind to me and my son. She is very successful in gathering information and representing the best interests of my child in the case. I witnessed her high level of integrity and expertise. She went above and beyond and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome of the case. Because of her dynamic and powerful representation, my son’s rights are fully advocated and protected. Now, His case is closed and sealed. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

Nothing strikes at the heart of a parent more than when their child is in peril. When our son was faced with extremely egregious and wildly false accusations at his high school, which rapidly rolled into a criminal case, we were shocked, frightened and completely out of our element. Very fortunately, a close friend recommended Dana. From the first time we spoke with her, we felt that we weren't alone in this fight. She quickly took control of the situation. As the blows kept coming, she stayed ahead of everything, reassuring us and our child along the way. Dana was able to use her extreme intellect, experience and tenacity for bringing the over-looked facts and truth to light which was what was needed to successfully overturn/dismiss both the school and criminal cases. Her attention to detail, outstanding organization, professionalism, compassionate communication, and unfailing positive attitude were essential in helping us all through an extremely challenging time. My hope is that, after what Dana brought to light, no other child is treated as ours was. However, if you are in need of someone to help you take on the School (suspension or expulsion), and/or a criminal case - look no further. I have every confidence in Dana's excellence and that you could not possibly find better representation for your child.

Dana helped me on my CPS case. Through her help, we got unfound conclusion finally.

We had a complicated CPS matter with a 22 year old malicious, inexperienced, low level and uneducated CPS worker and a police woman who lied and a two year battle that started with a literal SWAT raid on did not get better from there. We did not believe that what we experienced could occur in the US and were in shock what a kangaroo court CPS is and how paranoid and unfair the CPS system is and how completely rigged against families. Dana fought on every front, with every fact, with every strategy against Child Predatory Services. All the parents she is fighting for our good parents caught in an abusive system that does nothing to protect kids but is happy to destroy loving families. She went above and beyond constantly, was super smart, comforting, emotionally supportive, clever, creative, and unflagging in her strategies and teaching us how to cope and what to do. She dug up the facts our other lawyers never even bothered to find that were critical to case and showed just how far the caseworker went to lie, break rules, and go against "protocol" because she felt like God and could do anything she wanted. Dana was responsive, available via phone, even came to our house in the beginning, and also collaborated with me to come up with the best plan. If you are dealing with Child Predatory Service call her immediately many other lawyers are either predatory themselves overcharging or indifferent and do nearly nothing. She is literally an angel on earth fighting every day with a system that is evil and damages families without consequence or care. Call her, call her, call her. It will be the best choice you can make!

I hired Julie to represent me. She did a fabulous job and made my experience a much more tolerable situation. She was especially helpful in that she represented me in court and I did not have to miss work and lose wages. I found her to be extremely professional and an expert in her field. I hope I never have to use Julie again, but if I made that kind of dumb mistake again, Julie will be the first person I call.

I was in a car accident and didn't know what to do or who to turn to. Julia at Aspen Law was helpful, caring, informative, and smart. She guided me thru the whole process with amazing customer care and service. Julia cared more about me than about making money. In the end, I was able to have my healthcare billing issues resolved thanks to Julia!! I highly recommend this law firm!

Julia Simmons is extremely knowledgeable, strong, and truly cares about her clients in a way that is very difficult to find in modern legal practice. I am a colleague of Julia's and worked as an associate attorney in her law firm prior to relocating for work a few years ago. That being said, I can honestly say that Julia has a profound ability to present cases and fact patters to Judges and District Attorneys in a way that allows for the best possible outcome for her clients on a consistent basis. This ability comes from years of court room experience and her propensity to care deeply for each of her clients . I am confident that I was fortunate to have learned about Criminal Defense from one of the best in the business and I am a better lawyer because of it. She is a great DUI Defense and Department of Licensing attorney!

Our foster son was a high school Junior attending a community college in the running start program when he was kicked off the college campus without warning for an alleged conduct violation. This was scary for our son and our family, given the imminent risk/threat to his ability to get accepted into a University and have a successful future. Dana acted immediately to get our son back in class so his attendance and grades didn't suffer, and also ensured an appropriate and fair resolution that did not harm our son's ability to pursue admission to a four-year University. Dana also took steps to prevent criminal charges from being filed. Throughout the process, she was a calming influence on our family, made time available whenever needed, worked well with our sixteen year old son, took the time to answer questions and explain things in plain language, and was transparent and honest in her billing. Finding and hiring Dana was a huge load off our backs. She knew exactly what to do to protect our son's future, and she delivered.

Dana achieved positive results that I didn't think possible. She was always transparent with her billing practices, prompt, professional, kind and sometimes even funny! What more could you ask for?

Our 1st grade daughter was wrongfully suspended over a misunderstanding that was clearly not a violation of school policy. We were unable to convince the school to change their decision and were told that our only option was to submit a grievance to the superintendent. We started writing it ourselves, but had trouble sorting through the school regulations which are not user-friendly at all. I did a quick search for an education lawyer, and Dana was the top hit on Avvo. After reading the reviews I could tell she was the right woman for the job. She's a great communicator, returns calls right away, and provides outstanding advice. We asked her to review our letter and suggest improvements as our behind-the-scenes advisor. Those couple of hours of her time was money well spent. If you need help navigating school regulations and grievance processes, call Dana.
