Couldn't have made a better choice!

I hired Ms. Mejia to help me get through a very scary situation where I was accused of domestic battery. I was very concerned that this was going to scar my record and make things more difficult for me going forward. Ms. Mejia was a beacon of light when I spoke with her and she helped explain everyth...ing and also what my choices were. She also listens and genuinely cares. She stayed in communication throughout the whole process and worked to get a resolution that will not be leaving me with a permanent record for something I was unjustly accused of to begin with. I am so very grateful for her work in my case and I highly recommend Ms. Mejia.

She knew how to win the case from the start

She defended my daughter on a case of "Resisting arrest with violence" in Port Orange, a Felony. There was no reason for investigation or arrest. It was actually an abuse of authority. My daughter was arrested and taken to jail, based on a citizen call requesting police to check if my daughter and m...e were okay. Her argument and findings were brilliant. Police videos were edited in places. The state attorney backed off with a Nollo Prosequi. Thank you Genine.

Best Criminal Attorney EVER

I ended up getting myself in a bind, facing violent criminal charges that would have affected my career negatively. The state was hell-bent on pursuing my case and refused to even hear me out. Attorney Mejia got down to the bottom of it without even having to take it to trial! I found her by reading ...these 5-star reviews and I had to leave one too! It's true! She is THE BEST! No matter what charges you may be facing, trust that Attorney Mejia will see you through until the end with your best interest in mind! I would definitely hire her again!

Forever Grateful!

Hiring Attorney Genine Mejia to represent my son was one of the best decisions I could have made. Her knowledge, experience and confidence alone make her one of the best attorneys around. When my son and I spoke with Genine for the first time we were both taken back by how kind and compassionate she ...was. My son was 18, a Freshman in college and arrested one evening after drinking too much and being kicked out of a nightclub. He had already been charged several months prior to us hiring Genine so I had no idea what to expect or if anything could be done to reduce or dismiss his charges. She took the time to thoroughly explain what his options were and helped us make the right decision on how to move forward. Her communication is the best. She is quick to respond to text/emails and was there to answer questions every step of the way. I knew Genine would fight for my son and that she did. Her rates are very reasonable, I feel she went above and beyond with my son’s case. After filing just one motion she was able to get one charge dismissed and the other misdemeanor battery charge reduced to a charge of Affray. If it wasn’t for Attorney Mejia, my son would still be charged as a convicted criminal. She is an amazing attorney and damn good at what she does! I would highly recommend hiring Attorney Genine Mejia! Thank you again Genine for everything! You deserve way more than 5 STARS!!
