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 gets the job done!!!!

I was arrested for DUI a few months ago and Mindy closed my case this week with the best result I could hope for given the circumstances. I was arrested for DUI in Ventura county and had a BAC of .19. In addition to the standard charges of the DUI, I was facing severe repercussions of a .15 enhanceme...nt charge. This would include a 9 month alcohol class and court ordered stipulations against being in establishments that serve alcohol for 3 years. The severity of these would truly affect my professional life. Fantastic Mindy was able to get the DA to drop this additional charge. I still have to complete my responsibilities in regards to the general DUI charge but it seems so much more feasible now with Mindy's help. Administratively Mindy made this process so easy for me. She always showed up in court on my behalf and I did not have to go which made my life easier living in another county. Mindy kept me driving as long as possible and has provided all the documents and direction I need to get over this major hurdle and onto my life. If you find yourself in the same unfortunate situation I was in, I recommend you call Mindy!

The Best DUI Lawyer In Ventura, Ca

You absolutely could not ask for better representation! Mindy was the consummate professional. She got my license back, after I was released from jail immediately. She told me exactly what I needed to know, and not what she thought I might want to hear. She got me the best possible results I could ha...ve asked for, and had my necessary paperwork back to me, with full instructions, the same day as my trial (I have heard horror stories of lawyers not getting paperwork back to clients until it was too late to meet judicial timelines). Don't waste your money on anyone else! Mindy is your best shot, at the best outcome.

Best Decision I Ever Made

Two months ago I was arrested for a DUI after crashing my vehicle into a brick wall. I waited until the day before my court date to contact Mindy, and she was still able to meet with me and appear in court for me the following day. It immediately struck me how knowledgeable she was about DUI's and I... knew that I would be in good hands. Mindy was absolutely amazing in the deal that she was able to get for me because I had blown over a .15 and crashed my car. She got the alcohol school enhancement stricken so instead of 9 months; I only had to do 3 months. On top of that she got me 2 days of work release instead of jail, and got me credit for one of those days, so all I had to do is one day of work release, WOW. Also, because I did not schedule a DMV hearing, my license was suspended, but if I had called Mindy immediately after the DUI she probably would have avoided that suspension because she was able to find a discrepancy in the breath tests. Mindy was a pleasure to deal with, kept me informed of the entire process and let me know exactly what I needed to do to minimize the impact of getting a DUI. Lastly, you know you have a GREAT lawyer when she is working to finish your case the day she is scheduled to leave on vacation for two weeks because she does not want you, her client, to be wondering what is going to happen.
