Knowledgeable and trusting

Hired Vicki for a divorce. Her and Barb were professional and settled the case quickly with great advice through the process. Everything worked out well because if them. Thank you!!

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!

Great lawyer

My lawyer helped me in a divorce case. We are still/end of the case now. She has been working with me on this case for about 3 years and have walked me through every step. I appreciate her not talking aver my head and explaining everything to me. I thank her for reassurance when I’ve been overwhelmed.... She’s a great lawyer and knows her stuff.

Vicki L, Francois- A First Rate Choice

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!
