Highly Recommend!!!

Mrs. McQueen took on my DUI case around 2 years ago. Although there was no accident or injuries, with north of .25 BAC and all the evidence stacked against me, I had very little hope that I would come out of the situation without losing my license and/or more jailtime. Mindy explained the situation, ...expressed that it was not going to be easy but that she would fight to get me the best possible outcome. After following her instructions on next steps, she finally was able to get me informal probation, a few hours of community service, and NO jailtime. A year later, I regretfully broke a clause of my probation and ended up calling Mrs. McQueen again. As done previously, I followed her instructions, and I was able to come out of it with zero punishment. If Mrs. McQueen gives you advice on what to do to produce the best outcome for your case, DO IT and do it 10x over. Mrs. McQueen knows the judges and knows what she is talking about. She is not only a rockstar in the courtroom, she is someone that has changed my life around. She is also prompt and also fast to respond d to any and all questions. If you are looking for a DUI lawyer, don’t look any further.

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.

Mindy got my DUI case dismissed in Ventura County & won my DMV hearing!!!!

I, like most of you, searched the web for the best qualified DUI lawyer. I had picked 3. After speaking with all 3, I was convinced that Mindy was the righrt one. She came across as knowledgeable with many years of expirience. As it turned out, I made the right choice. Mine was a border line case. I ...had just come out from dinner and there was checkpoint within less than 10 minutes. I didn’t think much of it since I only had 2 glasses of red wine. This officer asked a few questions and obviously figured out that if he kept me long enough, my BAC would be climbing. He waited almost an hour and it was 0.08. Mindy along with an expert in toxicologist where able to get the case dismiss by the DA as well as the DMV. Need I say, Mindy proved me right. I don’t wish anyone to be in the situation I was, but if anyone asks me to recommend a DUI lawyer I would not think twice before emphatically recommending Mindy.

Thank You, Mindy! You are the Best!

The best advice that can be given to someone in need of a DUI attorney is to echo the advice given by the commenter below because I feel exactly the same way: Stop shopping for a lawyer and call Mindy now. She is a gifted attorney and an amazing individual. She was with me every step of the way ...and took time to clearly explain the sequence of events and present options. No one will work harder on your case than Mindy. She's extremely knowledgeable about the entire process and, in my experience, is driven by an unparalleled commitment to getting the best possible outcome for her clients. When in comes to pursuing a just outcome, she is determined with a capital "D". Trust me. You cannot do better than Mindy McQueen. I kiss the ground she walks on. Thank You, Mindy!

Looking for a DUI Attorney? Stop right here. Mindy is your woman!

If you are looking for a DUI Attorney just stop right here. Hiring Mindy to handle my case was hands down the best decision I could have made. From day one she gave me a no BS approach, was direct and honest, and worked her butt off to get me the best possible decision for my case. I was terrified wh...en I received my DUI and I wasn't sure what I was going to do or what would happen down the line. Mindy laid everything out to me clearly, gave me constant updates and gave me a clear list of things I could do to potentially get me a better judgment. She knows all the laws, the people, and knows how to work every possible angle for the best possible result. My advice when working with Mindy is to listen to EVERYTHING she says and do what she asks of you. She is not going to ask you to do things simply to inconvenience you. She genuinely cares about you and your record and will work tirelessly to get you the best result possible. I cannot thank her enough.
