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!

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!

FLAWLESS ATTORNEY!!

If you want and/or need a lawyer that is calculated and thorough, an expert that will review your case once and have a plan for your win, then look no further than Vicki at Wiese Law Firm.  After 4 attorneys over a 2.5 yr period,  numerous, COUNTLESS court hearings, that of which I always left feelin...g defeated with no end in sight, then I hired Vicki who prevailed!! She articulated my case with flawless skill. I truly do not think anyone else could have matched her stellar court performance. She is life changing.  She is motivated, organized, articulate, attentive and focused. She is driven and respected. She has an exceptional reputation. Just having her as your attorney will give you immediate confidence. She will take control, no longer will you feel overwhelmed or uncertain. After 15 mins into my consult,  I knew she was DIFFERENT. I could see how she took everything in and had a grasp that I had not witnessed prior. Barb her legal assist is also amazing and is extremely knowledgeable and available to guide and assist throughout as well. Very prompt and diligent. There are attorneys that can make you think your case is a priority. Vicki is shows it and proves it from start to finish.  Don't throw away your precious time and money on anyone else. She is all you need and more. Her presence alone is a statement. She is worth a million times her fees. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH about how perfect she is. She dominates in her field. She is an absolute MUST HAVE!  Having her as an attorney feels and equates to driving a Bugatti in a world of Ford Escorts. FLAWLESS VICTORY!!
