Aggressive. Passionate. Zealous.

“I have knowingly defended a number of guilty men. But the guilty never escape unscathed. My fees are sufficient punishment for anyone.”

The Late F. Lee Bailey,
my Mentor and Friend

THE BULL AND TRAIN

“Your Honor, may I swear?” I asked the presiding judge. “You may,” he responded. Holding a pen in my hand as if it were a pocket knife, “If I said, ‘bitch, I’ll cut you!’ Would you shoot me?!” I bellowed to the uniformed police officer on the witness stand. Slumping in her chair, “yes,” she mumbled. “I have no further questions.” Having shredded the State’s witness, I stode back to my client, seated at counsel’s table. That cross-examination earned me my nicknames of “the train” and “the bull” in law school. Admittedly, the judge was only a former judge and practicing attorney, and the witness was a student and police officer. It was one of many mock trials I would work on in law school. Of course, I spent years perfecting this craft, both as a cross-examiner and as a trial attorney. I subscribe to the practice that the best defense is still a great offense. Who was on trial? The investigating officers, who conducted a perfunctory investigation, the “victim,” who attempted to stab my client, everyone but the man sitting next to the defense attorney, my client. How does a young lawyer become skilled?

I not only recommend Attorney Julian Kessel, but I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further. He responds in an extremely timely matter; he is very knowledge and a trustworthy man. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand, since I personally had no understanding of legal processes. Julian explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that were needed to be done. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. I was impressed that he was straightforward and told me what to expect each step of the way. He made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. Julian was selected on recommendation from a trusted friend and was some of the best advice I have ever received.

Julian M. Kessel, ESQ.

Unlike many other attorneys, I devoted five years of my life to my legal education.  While in law school, I worked for a firm, studying under an experienced trial attorney.  This permitted me to make the most of my time in law school.

I devoted tens of thousands of hours to studying trial attorneys.  Men such as Irving Younger, Llyod Paul Stryker, Melvin Belli, Gerry Spence, Sir Thomas Erskine, and, my late friend, F. Lee Bailey.  Every book that each man had written, I consumed.  Each old, grainy, black-and-white video I could locate, was dissected.  Each encyclopedia, quotation, trial, and transcript, was analyzed and stored.  From their remarkable experience and wealth of knowledge, I began building my own skillset.
