“Ms. Warshaw is an exceptional attorney, as she consistently demonstrated a remarkable level of dedication, compassion, and tireless hard work while advocating for my family. Her unwavering commitment to my family, combined with her empathetic nature and relentless pursuit of justice, truly sets her apart and makes her a truly outstanding member of the legal profession.” – P.A., Springfield

“Julie is the most outstanding attorney I have ever come across. Not only is she well-versed in all the laws in her field, but what makes her stand out is that she is the most exceptional human being that I have ever met. She is so extremely intelligent and savvy in her profession, but she also has heart. She is someone who will fight tooth and nail when sees something is not right and just. She puts on the boxing gloves seemingly to take on evil and she doesn’t stop until everything gets resolved. It’s really breathtaking to see her in action. She puts her clients first and everything else is secondary. She cares and that’s true rarity in this world! I can’t recommend her enough! She needs to be cloned! She is a one-in-a-gazillion attorney and human, and I thank God every single day that I was fortunate enough to find her!!” – T.P., Woodland Park

“Julie Warshaw is tough, experienced and caring. We’re grateful we were able to have her represent us. Our family was in a difficult situation due to pervasive bullying and false accusations made by other students against our child, greatly endangering our child’s safety and well-being, and damaging our reputation in the community. We hired Julie because we needed experienced and thorough legal guidance as to our rights, the rights of our child, and what our options were. From the very first conversation we had, we felt more relieved in the midst of this awful turmoil, and that she was exactly the lawyer we needed. Experienced in dealing with education law and helping families. Julie fought incredibly hard for our child and us every step of the way, as both an attorney and a family adviser who genuinely cared for us. She made every effort to be available when we needed to reach her, and was so reassuring and supportive when we did. She doesn’t just ‘dial it in’ and send out a bill. She helped us arrive at a solution that turned out to be absolutely the best for our child. We have since recommended her to friends who are also dealing with similar issues while trying to protect their children from this toxic culture of bullying, all too pervasive in our public schools.” – D.A., Hillsdale
