Best Decision Ever

We retained the Weise law firm (Vicki Francois) as our attorney in a years long contentious case. It's still ongoing. It's one of the best decisions ever. Vicki is prepared in court and she's honest about outcomes. She was recommended by an attorney I know well. Vicki doesn't disappoint. She's... won every court date we've had. We are lucky to have her.

A lawyer who actually cares

I am not even kidding when I say that hiring Vicki to represent me was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I have had several attorneys before this and, given the strangeness of my case, none of them believed in me or fought for me above the bare minimum required. Vicki took the time to... actually listen to me and get to know the history of my case. Finally I have an attorney who cares! She worked so hard to get me through an almost decade long legal battle in which I was always the underdog and she won! I can not begin to describe how grateful I am for her and Barb!

GREAT JOB!

VICKI TOOK OVER MY CASE WHEN MY LAWYER WAS PROMOTED TO J&D JUDGE, WITH JUST A FEW WEEKS UNTIL MY COURT DATE, VICKI WASTED NO TIME GETTING TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND MY CASE. SHE WAS VERY THOROUGH AND CONFIDENT IN COURT. I WAS ABLE TO GET VISITATION WITH MY GRANDCHILDEN. I WOULD DEFINATLEY RECOMMEND HER... AND WILL USE HER AGAIN IF THE NEED ARISES.

Great experience

My experience has been wonderful with this law firm. Vickie works passionately for her clients. She's great at explaining and finding solutions. I love how she thinks outside of the box. She treats every scenario as if it's going to be the worst case scenario and because of her excellent preparati...on I got to see the sunny side every time.

She’s the best!

Vicki is an amazing lawyer and all around great person!! I would highly recommend her to anyone. I’ve been battling with my case for the past four years and she was able to finally give me some peace of mind and won my case! For once in four years I finally feel my children and myself are safe!! It’s... an amazing feeling! Vicki, you are a rockstar and I can’t thank you enough!!
