Harold Victor Mesick

First of all, I'm a bit taken back by the previous review from "Justin". Justin, you state this is your 2nd DUI, and the 5-7th lawyer you've worked with in the past. To me, this relieves you of all credibility. Complaining that Harold didn't help you do the necessary paperwork is a joke. Harold i...s an attorney, not your Dad. Lastly, if you were unhappy with Harold's communication, did you ever try to contact him yourself? My gut instinct is no; you're just another lazy, entitled San Luis Obispo "kid". My experience with Harold was very pleasant. Not only was Harold responsive, but his continued communication throughout my case really helped me make some important decisions. Harold also put me in contact with the right people when I wanted to go the "extra mile" and write an apology letter. I was originally charged with Battery after punching a bouncer in the head after I saw him attack my friend. The bouncer was wearing street clothes; nothing identified him as an employee of the bar or distinguished him as different from any other patron. Harold recognized this immediately and made it part of the case. Harold also did background research on some of the witnesses and was able to expose some funny-business behind the scenes. All in all, Harold's diligence and craft was able to lessen punishment quite drastically. Initially facing time, Harold was able to get me only probation and 20 AA meetings - a mere slap on the wrist if you ask me. Harold was able to get my charge from Battery to a Public Intoxication. He was also able to make sure that this charge was removed from my record after probation. Harold guided me even AFTER the case and helped me get off probation early. The charge was removed from my record right in time for a few job interviews I had planned. Just beautiful. If I ever find myself in trouble in SLO County again, Harold is my guy. WELL worth the money (and then some). Thanks again, Harold!
