My strongest recommendation

In November of 2007 I had the unfortunate experience of being pulled over late in the evening by the Highway Patrol on my way home from a party. While I felt capable of driving it was still a serious mistake on my part after having had several glasses of wine that evening. I was arrested for driving ...under the influence of alcohol. The next day I immediately began researching who I might retain to provide me with the best legal defense in this situation. After a couple of days of looking in to this and speaking to quite a few attorneys, it was pretty clear to me that Mindy McQueen, compared to the other folks I had spoken to, was a straight shooter, direct and to the point, no games and no "feel good" chatter. She made it very clear about what I was going to have to deal with, what she could do to help protect my interests, and what she could do to help make it an efficient process given the circumstances. She delivered in every way that she had described. She is clearly extremely knowledgeable about the process, the people and the agencies that are involved in a situation like this, and in helping her clients navigate through a system that was a completely new world for me. In the last couple of months she has completed the process in the best way possible by appearing in court on my behalf and obtaining an expungement from my record of my conviction. As I have said to Mindy, I was sorry to have to have met her under these pretty unpleasant circumstances, but that said, I couldn't have asked for a more personable and professional councilor. If you are reading this there is a good chance you are facing similar circumstances to what I faced. I can assure you that you cannot do better than to have Mindy in your corner.

Excellent Attorney

I had the misfortune of being arrested for DUI. When I contacted Mindy, I was pretty shaken up as nothing like this has ever happened to me. She met with me and immediately made me feel comfortable and talked to me like I was a friend, not a criminal. My numbers were high and from everything I rea...d on the internet, I was pretty much screwed! She was honest with me and told me not to worry, she would handle everything. And that is exactly what she did. With every step, she contacted me on the phone and followed up with a letter. She talked me through the whole DMV and Court process and directed me on steps to take to help my case. When she called me on the day of the court hearing, I couldn't believe what I was hearing! She got me the best deal that I could hope for and saved me a bunch of money! There is not enough words of appreciation that I can express for everything that Mindy has done to help me through this process. I am forever greatful. Thank you again Mindy!

Smart, aggressive, but not someone I would choose as for my next lawyer case.

To put this all behinds me. I chose Mindy because she was smart. I am under 21 and had a .014 BAC. My first time calling her she told me of a way to fight the DUI, by only winning, for me the more important court case if the officer shows up in court and not the DMV. I was pleased with the answer bec...ause I was willing to take the risk and did not have enough money to represent me at the DMV. I did alot of research about my DUI and my options and she was the first to tell me this. I was convinced that she was what I was looking for, even though she was out of my price range as I am student. After I paid her, I had such a hectic time speaking with her. I just had simple questions about the case which were very important to me and she would not have the patience to speak normally to me. I had major anxiety just to speak to her, I was hoping for it all to be finished. The only time I could speak to her normally was her payday, the day of the court appearance. The officer did not show up to court so it is not on my record for 10 years, but the suspension is still in affect.

Excellent DUI Attorney

I was first referred to Mindy McQueen by a friend who had nothing but great things to say about Mindy. Originally I had considered representing myself, but am now grateful that I was introduced to Mindy. She was approachable and honest from beginning to end. Being charged with a DUI was an awful e...xperience, but Mindy treated me with dignity and respect. I had a lot of questions, but throughout the process we were able to communicate easily and effectively. We were able to win the DMV hearing, which would never have happened without her knowledge and dedication. She even made several special appearances at the courthouse to represent my interests, saving me a lot of time and hassle. If you’ve been charged with a DUI, you need an attorney that you can trust and who will do everything possible to get you the best outcome. Now that I know Mindy personally and have worked with her on my own case, I would highly recommend her to help with any DUI charge.

A 22 Year NAVY Career Saved

I can't say enough about Mindy...She saved my NAVY career. Having been charge with a DUI, and in the NAVY, a DUI conviction in my military record would have been disasterous and the end of my career. Mindy when to work right away on my case. She understood what this would result in, not only in t...he civil courts, but also in the military justice system as well. Mindy stood by me 100% and fought hard for a result that was satisfactory. The results, NO DUI conviction, but reduced to "exibition of speed", and NO Jail time. Mindy has my resepect and trust, and I would want her on my side of the courtroom anytime. I would recommend her to anyone facing theses kind of charges, or for that matter any charge. Mindy you deserve a "Military Citation" for going above and beyond the Call of Duty. You are number one in my book. 22 years of Thanks Kallen
