Best Lawyer EVER

I cannot express how extremely happy I was to have Vicki Francios as my lawyer during a very long 2+ year custody and child support battle. Vicki was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she explained everything to me with extreme detail and on a level that I would understand. I never felt rushed ...in a meeting or on the phone when discussing the details and strategies of my case. Vicki answered every question I had and provided reasoning behind them. However, the main thing that I was overly thankful for was Vicki’s compassion, caring, and concern for not only my life, but my child’s during this difficult time. She put my child’s safety and care above all. Vicki understands these situations are difficult and she does everything to protect her clients. She truly cares for her clients. Vicki was not only my lawyer, she was my friend through all this. I highly recommend retaining her for any legal need.

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!

Can’t thank Vicki enough!

Vicki was truly amazing. She assisted me through my entire case, she was very responsive and answered every question I had. Vicki really eased my mind and explained how the entire process would go. Her professionalism and knowledge of the law is unparalleled.
