So glad I used Mindy McQueen

So the nightmare started and I was extremely concerned and lost in what to do in the process of an upcoming DUI conviction. The first hurdle it seemed was choosing an attorney and after researching came across Mindy McQueen. I am so thankful that I used Mindy's services - I met with Mindy within 48... hours of the incident and she really took the time to help me understand what the process would be and what to expect. Mindy has a solid understanding of the law and also what to expect during the court appearances. I listed to Mindy's advise and to be honest I got far less of a punishment than what I was expecting - Ventura County seems to be one of the toughest counties for DUI convictions. No jail time, no work release, no morgue, no MAD - just a fine, 30 day suspended license and DUI school. A pending conviction can put a lot of stress on people and possibly lead them to make incorrect decisions when options are being presented. I left the decision making to Mindy and took all of her recommendations and this error of judgment/mistake did not end up being the end of the world that I had pictured. Thank you Mindy for your outstanding work and helping through this ordeal.

Amazing Mindy got my Ventura case dismissed!!!

I came to see Mindy for my case for a unique reason. A friend of mine had been in her building for some other reason, happened to go into Mindy's office because my friend needed a key for the building's bathroom, and Mindy was kind enough to lend her the bathroom key even though my friend wasn't a c...lient or in the building to see Mindy. This occurred a few weeks before I was in need of a criminal attorney, and I was inspired by my friend's experience and Mindy's kindness. At my consultation she spent over an hour talking with me about my case. She was up front and very honest about the expectations I should have regarding the outcome of my case. She told me that she would fight for me and do all in her power to advocate on my behalf. After I hired her she remained in constant contact with me and eased my worries and concerns. She went to court twice on my behalf, I didn't even have to go. She communicated the results to me right away. The thing that is her greatest asset, in my opinion, is that she knows how to advocate for her clients. She stuck with it and put in extra time to convince the DA to evaluate the case based on her assessment of the circumstances. Other attorneys I have hired wouldn't have worked as hard as she did. I probably would not have gotten the same results Mindy got for me had I hired another. She knows how to talk well and communicate effectively. She put in countless hours in communicating and negotiating with the DA's office. During the entire time she helped me feel positive and helped me complete all that I was asked to do. In the end, Mindy got my case was dismissed. In general, I don't like attorneys and don't trust most to put my interests first. But with Mindy that is different. I saw her put my interests first and fight hard for my case. It has been my experience with this case that you won't be disappointed if you go see Mindy for your case even if the outcome isn't the same as mine. She is the kind of attorney everyone wished they had.

Excell

Mindy Mc Queen was very knowledgeable and professional . I hired her for a DMV hearing NOT involved with a DUI, but an accident. I am a senior citizen. I have never been involved with a DMV hearing so I was not only anxious but uninformed of the legal aspects. Mindy was very calming and assured me... that my outcome would be positive. And she was correct. Thank you Mindy Judy

Top Notch Lawyer!

Where do I begin?! I found myself being pulled and in a situation where charges for impaired driving were laid. Given what transpired, the outlook of beating the charges looked pretty bleak to me. I contacted Mindy after having spent time calling other lawyers who seemed to rush me off the phone wi...thout a care about my livelihood, most of them asking how fast I could make a deposit. Mindy was very accommodating, dedicating me the time to listen. She was professional and very honest in assessing my side of the story. What I admired the most about Mindy is that right off the bat she laid it out for me; she didn’t bullsh*t about anything and was forthright about what I would be expecting. Even when I would try to plea with her and say “well what about this” and “what about that”, she didn’t sugar coat it - she told me what I NEEDED to hear, not what I WANTED to hear. You have to admire someone whose going to be real with you in a situation like this, because it doesn't get any realer than this; and that’s exactly who I want on my team, representing me. She gave me solid advice and the confidence that led me to hand my case to her with zero hesitation. Throughout it all, I was kept in the loop and up to date, and if I had any questions she had answered them promptly -- after hours and on weekends-- it didn’t matter the time. With the seriousness of the case, the results far exceeded my expectations in a very short time. I honestly count my blessing finding her and having her represent me. I now have my life and livelihood back thanks to Mindy McQueen. I STRONGLY recommend Mindy to anyone who needs a great defense lawyer. -AA

The reviews don't lie!

I ended up getting a really bad DUI in April 2014 and they sent me a letter in late December saying i would have court in January. I was completely nervous and had no idea what i was going to do. I needed a lawyer immediately and since my case was out in Ventura county i figured i better look for one... out there as well. I found this website when googling Ventura county lawyers and Mindy's name popped up on top, so i clicked it, read through all her reviews and was blown away by what everyone had to say, so I decided to give her a call and she took on my case with compassion and a very simple breakdown everything I needed to know. Its been two years since that time and Mindy handled my case so well, I've been depression and stress free since. I was facing 3 misdemeanors when Mindy went to court for me and as of right now i am charged for only one. I could not thank her enough for that she did for my case. i suggest you call Mindy if you need the best lawyer!
