N/a

Vicki won custody of my son for me, which was huge for us! I’d been through a long and contentious divorce but my ex was alienating me from my son and not following the court order. On our first meeting I explained her behavior to Vicki and immediately felt confident that Vicki understood. She has a ...psychology degree and a lot of empathy. I needed someone to understand what I was dealing with and fight for me. She did just that.

Vicki was a wonderful lawyer during an extremely difficult divorce. She made sure I understood what was happening, provided answers to my questions, and displayed a caring and sincere attitude through it all. I am so glad she was on my side. She helped me fight for me and my children. That is pricele...ss.

Heaven Sent for Justice

I contacted Wiese Law Firm after two very bad attorney experiences during my Terrible Contested Divorce. Vicki and Barb ("Simply phenomenal" is what I call them) were by far, the friendliest, most professional, and highly educated Ladies ever. Vicki had less than 2 months to prepare for my case. Wha...t I called a nightmare. I remember her saying to me this is nothing. Because even in our bad times..others have it worse and she's witnessed it. Not only was she swift with her actions, but they also worked with me financially. She has worked diligently on my case from day one and she keeps me updated on every move that's made. His attorney would not even reply after a month to any papers sent. That's his Modus Operandi (MO) ON A SUNDAY while I'm still in church I receive emails where she is working to reach him. On a Sunday! Guess what she did it! PERSISTANCE!! We are approaching my court date in another week. In the past that was a day of dread and I would actually get sick. I am actually excited and can't wait and go. You know why? Because Vicki knows her stuff and doesn't take any crap and that's me putting it nicely. My worry is gone. I know Vicki is going to do what needs to be done. All the horrible things I've been through this past year are about to be made right. I say that because that is how much confidence I have in Vicki. Weise Law Firm is the place to start in the scary, emotional process of divorce. You won't regret it!
