The right lawyer

Vicki is an expert in her field and knows family law! She is well organized and takes the time necessary to prepare the case for court. When In court, she takes the time needed for your case and follows up afterward to ensure you understand and are comfortable about the next step. I would highly reco...mmend Vicki for any family law need.

An oustanding compassionate attorney

Vicki's knowledge of the law and its nuances are nearly without peer. Her years of practice provide her with a depth of experience that is clear in the time leading up to a case, as well as during and after a case is heard in court. She has a reputation of toughness among prosecuting attorneys. Whi...le these attributes are highly important to being successful in a case, the most noteworthy part of Vicki's abilities is really her compassion and understanding, and the "hand-holding" that she and her assistant provide during the time leading up to, and after, a case is heard in court. I felt total assurance during the entire process...like Vicki truly had my back. She is almost always instantly reachable with a phone call or email. For the client who wants representation who has a deep knowledge of the law, combined with the empathy and understanding that is comforting during domestic law proceedings, I am very pleased to offer my highest possible recommendation of Vicki.

Best lawyer in Roanoke!!!!

Let me just start off by saying Vicki and barb are AMAZING, I was going thru an extremely difficult custody battle with my ex I looked on Google to find a lawyer and I came across “Wiese law firm” I had never seen a lawyer that had 5 stars no matter what website you looked on. So I contacted her firm..., after the first phone call with barb I felt so relieved!! I explained to her my situation, she really listened to me and set up a zoom consult with Vicki. Once speaking to Vicki I felt even better! I hired her as my attorney and I must say I would leave court prior to hiring her feeling defeated every time. Vicki is a perfectionist to say the least, she gets the job done and she keeps you in the loop every step of the way. With her by my side in court I felt like anything could be thrown at me and she was like my heavy duty armor that had me protected at every angle! She’s not one of those lawyers that will just tell you what you want to hear, she’s very transparent . She let me know from day one the chances of court going in my favor and even had a plan for the future just in case to get me more visitation! I’m so happy I hired her, I walked away with physical custody granted back to me for my daughter. After leaving that court room I hugged Vicki so hard and just immediately began crying and thanking her, her exact words were “you did it mama” in reality I couldn’t have done this without her and instead of just saying thank you she recognized me for the outcome of my court case. I recommend her to everyone!!!! Her and barb make you feel so at home and bigger than just “another client” to them. They get to the job and get it DONE!!! Thank you all so much I could never repay you guys for what you did for me!!! I cried the whole way thru typing this. I will never step into court for any reason without Vicki by my side! My family was put back together because of these wonderful women, and for that we are FOREVER grateful!!
