VENTURA COUNTY VETERAN'S COURT

Mindy would be your best choice when selecting a DUI Attorney in Ventura County. Mindy's years of success in DUI representation showed clearly in my case. Due to her being in the top 1 percent of DUI attorney choices, I went with her by referral. Facing a DUI with accident charge, as well as a ...DMV refusal to lose my driving privilege, for one year, Mindy educated me on the Veteran's Court option since I am a military Veteran. This allowed me the option to work thru the Veterans Court and opened more options for Military Diversion Programs and No Convictions! Also, she worked with the DMV Appeals Board to save my driving privileges even after my refusal count! Mindy is the best! Go nowhere else to seek DUI representation, its basic if you go with the best, you will get the best result. Thank you, Mindy!!!

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

Mindy got my 2nd Time DUI Case Dismissed in Ventura County and She Won my DMV Hearing.

That's right, DISMISSED! No fine, no school, no jail, no probation, no license suspension, no insurance hike, no problem. The dismissal and DMV win saved me between $10,000-$15,000. Her charges were fair. She took care of everything. I'm DUI clean 'cause of McQueen.

Thanks Mindy

Mindy is very supportive and talented legal counsel. There was never any question that she was 100% invested in finding me the best possible outcome. She took my personal situation into account when making recommendations and never promised anything that she didn't make happen. She is very honest and... realistic with outcomes. Mindy's experience with Ventura county DA and courts is very obvious and undoubtably worked in my favor. I had what seemed to me to be very open and closed case and easy win for the DA. Mindy changed that from a case that could have been 30 plus days in jail, $10k in fines and 18 months of alcohol treatment (somewhere around $1800) to a mere 3 month online treatment course ($600) , $3k in court fines and unsupervised probation that can be terminated after 18 months. The DMV proved to be a very difficult case to win, but although my license was suspended eventually, Mindy kept me driving for 4 months following my arrest and provided a very clear path to an expeditious reinstatement. She has guided me through the process, prevented intimidation by the district attorney, and protected my rights! I had a very unique case that was a second offense with an out of state license. Mindy had lots of experience in both these areas, and provided very well founded recommendations that were tailored to my unique situation. Unfortunately, my case wasn't a dismissal, but Mindy made the DA work hard for what they could get. I couldn't have got nearly the deal I did without her. The bottom line is...I don't like the courtroom, dmv hearings, district attorneys, police, or jails. Mindy handled all of these for me, and her fee was well worth the piece of mind. I would recommend Mindy McQueen to my friends and family if they ever needed legal representation.

DMV Suspension past date of hearing.

I called M. McQueen on Friday 9/12/08 after having found a buried notice from DMV for suspension and probation. I had already contacted two other attorneys that would take the case. The call to Mindy saved my career since I work 65 miles from my home. She was able to arrange a hearing on the follo...wing Monday and my suspension was lifted by Friday 9/19/08. Her dedication to solving difficult issues with professionalism and heart made my experience unbelieveable. I can't say enough good things about my satisfaction and gratitude to this Attorney.

"Mindy McQueen is an outstanding lawyer and is, by far, the best choice if you are facing a DUI charge in Ventura or Los Angeles County. Mindy fights hard for her clients in Court and before the DMV and achieves outstanding results. She has kept many a hard working person on the road, and out of jail, in spite of tough laws and hard-nosed prosecutors. Mindy is hard-working, personable, insightful, and, because of these traits, she enjoys a state-wide reputation for her excellent efforts defending people charged with DUI."
