Defendant
I have hired Meredith for two different cases involving two separate unrelated charges at different times.

A DUI Miracle
Meredith Ziebold did a great job reviewing/settling my DUI case. She was able to have my case lessened from DUI to reckless driving. I was in a tough position, lots of things in my life were on the line, and therefore, depended on a good outcome. Meredith helped to make that happen. She was very nice...

DUI
Charged with DUI. Even with positive blood test, Meredith was able to get charge bumped down to reckless driving. She is good at what she does and knows what needs to be done to get the best results possible.

I do not recommend
I hired Meredith for a DUI case, costing me $3500. I was arrested in June 2017, went to court at least 5-6 times before the case was pushed up to criminal court. Meredith did absolutely nothing for me in my case. She wanted me to even pay her MORE to represent me in the higher court but after paying ...
Meredith Mochel
Replied last May 30, 2018I take client feedback very seriously. I have reached out to this individual client to offer a conversation about her concerns. I would not and cannot guarantee an outcome to any case, and would never suggest that I could in order to get a client in the door. I analyze each case for defenses and give my best advocacy on behalf of my clients. It would be a great day for defense attorneys if judges and prosecutors always agreed with us on why we think a particular case is deserving of a dismissal or reduction, lesser jail time, or other leniency we may propose. It is an adversarial system and I never lose sight that my clients have entrusted me to stand between them and the power of the government to prosecute and punish. I would offer more specific defenses to the allegations in this review, but to do so would be inappropriate. I hope this person will accept my sincere offer to discuss their feelings.
