As a former Deputy Bureau Chief with the Kings County District Attorney’s Office, my background and experience in criminal law and investigations is both diverse and extensive. I have handled thousands of criminal cases and was lead attorney in over 60 jury trials, including homicides, sex crimes, drug offenses, and white collar crimes. I handle both Federal and State cases in all boroughs of New York. I am a tenacious litigator who has a reputation for being fearless in the courtroom.
I was voted Top 1% by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel, Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers Association, and the 2018 award for Lawyers of Distinction. In addition, I received the Distinguished Service Award from my former colleagues at the Kings County District Attorney’s Office Alumnae Association.

February 3, 2025 at 6:47 pmIn a situation where we weren’t sure how to resolve the problem, we met Julie Rander. God was gracious enough to give us the services of a distinguished New York City criminal defense attorney.instantly, we felt secure. Julie is compassionate, and the court will likely fall in love with her charming smile.

February 3, 2025 at 6:45 pmJulie Rendelman, is the ” BEST OF THE BEST”. I had the honor of her representing me ! She is all business, and gets’ right to work on your case. As I expected, she produced a positive result. If you want the “BEST”, outcome then Ms. Rendelman, is the obvious choice.

February 3, 2025 at 6:43 pmFacing criminal charges can get pretty overwhelming. What you need is a skilled, experienced and knowledgeable attorney. Julie goes above that because she’s talented as well. I can go on and on and write poetry about how outstanding this angel on earth truly is. Give her a call and see for yourself and then make the wise decision in retaining her.
