Mr. Mengers saved my husbands life

I highly recommend Mr. Mengers. He is an amazing criminal defense attorney. I previously hired another attorney and was VERY dissatisfied with her service. My husband was looking at serious time for a VOP. Mr. Mengers was able to get him released from jail ROR after he cleared him of the origina...l charges. Prior to being released my husband spend a long time in jail due to Covid pending court dates. He called today and the VOP was dismissed! Mr. Mengers saved my husbands life. He is honest, upfront, objective, a good listener, and my gut feeling told me to hire him. The results show I made the right choice. God Bless you Mr. Mengers. We hopefully will never need a criminal attorney but you are our only choice. Thank you only touches the surface for what you have done for our family.

#1 attorney federal criminal case

My case was pretty complex since it was federal and not state but Mr. Mengers proved to be the attorney to beat all odds. With a 97% conviction rate (only 3% go to trial and 1 out of 10 actually win) with the charges filed against me, he believed in me when no one else seemed to. I knew I wasn't gui...lty but he was very honest and up front with me. My case had a minimum mandatory of 10 years if found guilty, of course taking a plea deal would bring it down a few but still a prison sentence regardless. This would mean losing my kids and everything I have worked for. Even though I was scared of losing (especially with the conviction rate) he always reiterated that if you're not guilty than you don't plea. So after a long and emotional 4 day trial the jury came back with a not guilty verdict... He will never give you false hope, not one time did he tell me I would walk away from this but I knew he believed in me and that's all I needed. So, if looking for an experienced and knowledgable attorney you found him!!!

Extremely Satisfied Client

I needed legal representation in a quasi-civil/criminal matter and found Counselor Mengers to be Knowledgeable, Courteous, Professional, Affordable, and Thorough, not to mention our case had a sucessful outcome. I was most surprised at the follow up calls as to the progress of the case. I was never... kept uninformed. I never felt that my case was not important to Mr. Mengers and that helped set aside any anxieties that I might have had during the time that my case was active. I would use Mr. Mengers again if the need ever arose and I would recommend his services to anyone. ...Kudos Counselor Mengers Neil C.
