Review Meredith Mochel

Words cannot express...

Posted by

It has taken me more than a week to gather my thoughts and feelings as to how I can describe my experience with Meredith Ziebold. Words really cannot express what she has done for my family and I during these trying times. I was facing some very serious charges that would have taken me away from my family for a long time. From our initial meeting, a few things were glaringly evident: highly professional, very down to earth, extremely concerned about my family and our welfare, and an uncommon trait of being straightforward. I left that meeting with a full understanding of what the gravity of my situation was, how she planned to strategize and attack it, and what my roles and responsibilities were to be throughout the process. What I proceeded to witness over the next 6 months was a tenacious and diligent approach to my case, with a complete feeling of always being in the loop and prepared for each phase of our plan. It has been a very difficult process to manage a family and all of the concerns of a pending felony indictment, but there is no way we could have held on or held together without the overwhelmingly vital role that Meredith has played in our lives and our well being. To say that we are forever grateful and indebted to her, although totally true, seems like such a failing expression of our deep appreciation for not only her skill set and patience, but of her complete caring and concern for us, as people, throughout this whole process. There will never be enough time or words to convey this message completely, but we hope she always knows that we love her and would never trust anyone else with any legal matters. She has become an extended part of our family and, because of her, I can raise my newborn and be here for the rest of my family! In summary, this was a situation where I realized that just having an attorney wasn't enough! It all had to do with having the right attorney with all of the giftings, abilities, and people skills to tackle a case of this magnitude. In one sentence: she under promised, and totally over delivered! She is the absolute best and I wish that everyone's family had the privilege of being represented by her. She concluded my case with such a favorable outcome, and brought such a level of peace to our household. Thank you Meredith, and we love you! Alric and Family P.S. I am forever available as a reference.

Meredith Saved My Life

Posted by

Recently I found myself in a legal jam. I went online in search of a lawyer and I found Meredith Ziebold's website. On her web page she spoke to legal situations in a very personal and humanistic way. I knew right then she was who I needed to represent me. When met with and explained my situation she told me she has had lot of success in getting favorable resolutions in cases such as mine but couldn't guarantee anything but assured me she would she would do everything in her power to obtain a favorable outcome. Well she got the case dismissed and record expunged before I was ever booked. Can't get any favorable than that. Thank You Meredith.

Wonderful Attorney

I hired Meredith Mochel to help with a DUI charge. Throughout the months long process, Meredith was always there for me. When the case finally came before the court, Ms. Mochel disposed of the charges. I highly recomend her to anyone who needs a DUI or DWI attorney.

DUI charge for sleeping while driving

Posted by

Meredith was understanding and confident during the entire process of fighting my case. She believed in me and gave me assurance the entire time that she would resolve this issue. Ms. Ziebold indeed did resolve my issues satisfactorily and I would recommend her to anyone with a similar circumstance.

A lawyer with Genuine concern for her clients

Posted by

Ms Ziebold dealt with all issues with earnest and legitimate care. We were not treated like robots that were giving funds for the next vacation. She is knowledgeable of current tristate laws governing options for legal and criminal offenses. I highly recommend Merideth Ziebold to defend and stand for your rights in any Court of Law.

Great lawyer

Posted by

Last year I got Ms. Meredith Ziebold to defend me. After reading all her reviews. Even the bad ones. As a business owner I know there will always be someone unhappy with something. But when I contacted the office Meredith asked me to come and talk about my case on a Sunday! I look at that as dedication. She ia serious about her clients. She is a very strong. stern women who knows what she is doing. Always honest no beating around the bush straight forward with what's going on. Although we are still dealing with the situation at hand and the harrassment that i have had she is on top of it. I can text/call her anytime and she gets back to me pretty quick. I would and have recommend Meredith to anyone I know or anyone who asks if I know a good lawyer.

You Need Someone Like Meredith to Represent You

Posted by

I faced a criminal charge and future court date and was unsure of what lie ahead. Before I met with Meredith, she had already gathered information about my arrest and talked to the arresting officer. When we met, she explained the legal system, the legal process and my rights. She was knowledgeable, sincere and caring in her approach. No lawyer can promise you anything, but with Meredith I knew I had an attorney who would do everything she could to get a successful resolution to my case. My outcome was far better than I could have imagined thanks to Meredith.
