Highly recommend

I had the privilege of meeting & observing Ms. Francois in a professional/legal setting. I found her to be highly competent and appropriately aggressive in the representation of her client while maintaining professional decorum in the courtroom and respect and fairness to all involved. Based on... that observation, I have consulted with her about professional matters and cannot recommend her enough.

Excellent Attorney

I found Ms. Francois to be extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and incredibly competent in the court room. I would absolutely recommend her.

Great for Divorce

Vicki and Barb were amazing throughout my divorce. Vicki will not waste your time/money with pointless meetings or calls, but she will show up for court prepared and organized. She made my spouse's attorney look incompetent and unprepared when she walked in with a binder for testimony with color-code...d tabs for each section that we covered. Vicki was able to find a case law that got my foot in the door in a court system that otherwise would have refused to hear my case and continued to let my financially dominant ex continue to exert power and control through financial manipulation. But mainly, Vicki and Barb truly care about you on a human level and will treat your case with care and compassion. The family you created being legal broke apart is NEVER an easy thing but I am sure that having Vicki and Barb's support made it so much better than it otherwise would have been. Thank you!

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.

Quality & Respect

We haven't gone to court yet BUT Vicki and Barbara are the Dream Team! They are so in sync! I'm thankful that we found them! They both treat us so respectfully eventhough we have a challenging case. If you want quality, look no farther!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
