THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE BEST OUTCOME

Don't even think of another attorney if you want the best results for your case!!! After my DUI arrest I immediately started looking on the internet for lawyers to handle my case. Anyone who finds themselves in this situation needs to look no further than Mindy! She is a no nonsense attorney who wo...rks tirelessly to get the best results. I was facing my 2nd DUI and a hit and run, both of which could result in harsh punishments. Mindy knows the courts and the system inside and out, she answered all of my questioins and always returned my phone calls promptly. She kept me aware of my case status and made me feel like family, I felt total and complete trust in her. In the end she was able to get my hit and run dismissed and a very minimal sentence! She fought hard for me until she got the absoulte best results for me. Thank you Thank you Mindy!

MINDY MCQUEEN IS THE BEST!!!!

Mindy McQueen represented me and is by far, the most knowledgable, strategic, well connected attorney i've ever met. I spoke to alot of others prior to hiring Mindy and knew exactly what questions to ask, yet no one was as straight forward with me as she was. Obviously, she is in demand and busy but ...i never went a single day without having a call returned, question answered and by far appreciated her promptness and candor. Getting a DUI can bring so much shame to most and a tremendous amount of guilt. Mindy always reminded me that a poor decision does not define me and that this too shall pass. (JUST DONT DO IT AGAIN) I felt like Mindy fought for me as if she were defending her own flesh and blood and that meant the world to me. Never once did she mislead me, give false hope or unrealistic expectations and i was amazed by how well she could predict the outcome..I was VERY grateful to be represented by her and somehow, after blowing nearly 3X the legal limit, My Queen, i mean, Mindy McQueen (one in the same) was able to get me off with ZERO jail time, ZERO community service, NO interlock and all i have to do is pay some fines and complete a 9 month alcohol school. Bottomline, if you have been arrested for a dui in ventura county and don't hire Mindy McQueen you are simply not giving yourself a fair shot. Thanks for everything Mindy, you're amazing and all your hardwork is appreciated, i'd reccomend Mindy to anyone who gets themselves in this predicament.

Mindy is the absolute BEST!!!

Mindy McQueen has handled two cases for me. In September, 2011, I was arrested for DUI. My BAC was .29! I was looking at a mandatory jail sentence of 72 hours. Mindy persuaded the court to give me probation and NO JAIL TIME!!! In December, 2012, I was arrested ... for Public Intoxication. A violation of my Probation for the DUI in September, 2011. I was looking at mandatory jail time, once again. I had clearly violated the terms and conditions of my Probation : NO alcohol consumption for 3 years!!! Mindy successfully persuaded the court to place me back on my original Probation. NO JAIL TIME!!! Mindy is truly amazing!!! Mindy is very knowledgeable, very trustworthy and incredibly effective. I highly recommend Mindy to anyone in need of legal councel. THANK YOU, Mindy!!!

An Attorney that Cares

At our first meeting, I knew hiring Mindy was the right choice. She told me she cared about her clients and it turned out to be true. I felt my case was doomed from the start, but Mindy fought for me every step of the way (and still is!). She is very friendly, smart, hard working and doesn't give ...up! She knows the system and the people in it - and her approach will put you at ease. At the same time, she was very truthful about my situation and didn't sugar coat a thing. These are scary situations and it's nice to have someone who will be honest with you and figure out the best possible course of action. I would definitely recommend her.

Thank God for Mindy McQueen

Mindy McQueen is THE BEST DUI Attorney you could ever have to represent you, especially in Ventura County. She has many years of experience, knows the court system thoroughly, and is an expert in DUI defense cases. She is a straight-shooter, honest and hard working, and will fight for you to get th...e best possible outcome. She helped me so much with my case. I had my case closed today, and am so thrilled with the outcome. I had a .17 BAC, and I was looking at an enhancement which would have made my sentence much harsher. Mindy got the enhancement dropped, which saved me thousands of dollars, no jail time, time served for work release, reduced alcohol school, and reduced fines. I had spoken to several attorneys after I got my DUI. It was very scary for me and I was totally confused. In speaking with Mindy, I knew instantly that I was going to have her represent me. She told me the facts and was open and honest and she totally set my mind at ease. Any her prices are very reasonable. She is awesome and I highly recommend her.
