Williams Oinonen LLC

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional representation I received from Julie Oinonen. From the moment I first spoke with her, I knew I was in the hands of someone truly special — not only one of the most skilled and knowledgeable employment law trial attorneys in the field, but also someone who leads with compassion, integrity, and genuine care for her clients. My case was deeply traumatic and emotionally complex, yet she navigated every stage with unwavering dedication, clarity, and strength. She listened intently, never minimized the impact of what I had gone through, and gave me both the legal support and personal reassurance I needed to feel empowered again. Her ability to balance fierce advocacy with empathy is nothing short of remarkable. She was always honest and transparent, setting realistic expectations while fighting tirelessly for the justice I deserved — and she won. Her strategic brilliance, attention to detail, and calm under pressure were evident throughout the process. If you are facing an employment-related legal issue and want someone who will not only fight for you but stand with you, I cannot recommend Julie highly enough. She is, without question, one of the best in her field, and anyone who has the opportunity to work with her firm is truly fortunate.

Williams Oinonen LLC — Julie Oinonen saved my teaching career, and I have never even met her in person! From our first phone call after a school incident that led to my suspension, Julie was straightforward, honest, and brilliantly tenacious. While my whole world seemed to be falling apart, Julie patiently explained everything to me and made sure I understood all that she was doing to fight my case — even on the days when I was unstable, terrified, and completely falling apart at the seams. Eventually, thanks to Julie, I was able to return to a teaching position within my school system. If that weren’t enough, Julie accomplished all of this while dealing with a very serious health scare. She even called me from the hospital during the holidays! She is a bulldog — she will fight for you like no one else ever will. Thank you, Julie.

I have known Julie Oinenen for years. She is a terrific lawyer who fights for her clients. She cares deeply about her civil rights work and has been a pathburner in this area of the law.

After consulting with Attorney Julie Oinonen about corruption and cover-ups that I witnessed first hand on the job, it was apparent that she was the best Attorney to handle this case. Julie was there every step of the way and she listened to everything I had to say in order to build a solid case. Julie, also brought on and additional Attorney Esther Graff-Radford who also took my case to heart and assured me that we'd be victorious. These two attorneys are knowledgeable of the law, will stand in the gaps for you and they are not afraid to bite when necessary. I am grateful for these two awesome attorneys and Julie's Paralegal Michele Dobbs. If you are in need of Super Lawyers please contact Attorneys Oinonen and Radford. You will not be disappointed.

I never thought that miracles and hope can be restored by one person .. I met Julie Oinonen on the most devastating case in my career, which I thought would finish my employment as a teacher due to lies, distortions and illegal practices. I sat in Julie’s office sharing the most unbelievable story, which took place in a public school system in GA when Julie very swiftly uncovered the wrong doings, put a legal name to them and was able to gradually refute every lie, defamatory statement and question every unethical practice I witnessed in school. Short after her involvement intimidations and threats from admin at school suddenly stopped. I was able to change school districts and have been a happy educator for more than a decade, with good TKES evaluations and no issues. Julie would not only solve the legal issues, her strength was the promptness and speed with her communication during some extremely intense and time-sensitive exchanges where her immediate attention was needed. Her prompt calls returned and very realistic assessment of possible attacks by admin was, what truly gave me hope and kept my sanity.. It is no doubt that she saved my career. She cleared my name and made me more aware of pitfalls lurking in education and the public school system. I became a GAE member since working with her and would recommend to every teacher to have some protection. A “thank you“ and legal fees do not even remotely compensate such an outstanding legal mind who fought like a lioness while nursing an inexperienced novice teacher with so much warmth and kindness that I thought I had a “super mom”. Thank you Julie for guiding me so effectively through so much mess in the past and for giving me strength to fight the wrong in the public school system and continue to remain in education and serve my students. My gratitude is endless: my daughter Julie 5 years of age is named after you, and I hope she also will be willing to help others in true distress, and will be interested in restoring the nobility in teaching among those who were unjustly beaten down by a broken public school system in GA. You are on my mind as long I teach..

Julie Oinonen and Munah Claxton the best Lawyer’s ever .. Thank you so much for your professionalism and for always be there for me, I’m so glad I hired a great profesional team because I really felt so protective, you’ll be my lawyers forever .

I can't tell you how much I appreciate Julie Oinonen and Williams Oinonen LLC. I was put in a terrible situation and I had proof that I did not do anything wrong and I reached out to multiple attorneys and Julie called back immediately and advised me. She took on my case and spoke on my behalf and had all the allegations dropped. They were fast, professional, and helped me in a very vulnerable and possibly life changing situation. Julie and her team are worth every penny and they are on your side, before you talk to anyone or discuss anything contact these attorneys they know the laws and will fight for you and protect your rights!

Ms. Oinonen graciously helped me under these COVID cautious times. I sincerely appreciated her willingness to listen and provide generous information to carry forward into my journey. Julie is sincere in making you feel confident in a resolution from simply being heard. Thank you so much!

I called twice to see about setting up a consultation and this is the email I received. No call, no questions about my case or what it pertained to. Just flat out rude! I didn't assume they would only be paid if I won, hell they didn't even know why I inquired their services. Basically, we want our money..I responded by telling her money wasn't an issue, but she again stated that she had told me her price and let her know if she could help. We'll if I called twice obviously I'm looking for help!! I bet she doesn't treat EVERYONE like this. What a way to secure you're all about money,not customer service EDIT: she called asking me to remove the review. And is stating someone called me but I told her I'd called twice and no one called me back. It is understandable if they could not help me. I would THINK they would call to hear my case to see IF I could be helped. IF NOT, she could have said "i have reviewed your case and unfortunately we are not able to assist." She was very abrupt in simply mentioning the fee. She did not express concern or even mention my case. It could have been worded or communicated to be me better...but I digress

I hired the team at Williams Oinonen to represent me in a grievance matter at my University that I initiated. It was a challenging case because I wanted to ensure that whatever the outcome I maintained the relationships with my colleagues I had worked 18 years to build. I am a law professor and I teach civil procedure so my standards for representation are high because I know what good legal representation is and what it requires. This savvy group of lady lawyers were OUTSTANDING on all fronts. They provided excellent legal representation and they provided sound counsel about navigating academic culture and achieving my broader objectives. I am so grateful to and for them and I have already recommended them to friends and family who are experiencing discrimination in the workplace. These cases are hard to bring and even harder to win. The team at Williams Oinonen provides compassionate counsel, good service, and phenomenal representation! I give them my highest recommendation!!
