Somehow, I managed to live 53 years of my life without needing a lawyer. Never needed anyone to defend me and never had a need to go after anyone. That's the way I like it. Then someone entered my family's life and turned our peaceful world inside out, putting one of my children at tremendous risk and exposing us to stuff I had only seen in movies prior to this. Very alarming and potentially unrepairable long term damage was our new reality. I was encouraged to seek justice and this is how we became clients of Vicki Wiese. Because I had no clue about the law and how things work, we needed a lot of hand-holding. The first time we met, Vicki asked us to share the salient details to how we were wronged and she asked us to tell her what kind of outcome we were hoping for. I told her that we never wanted to be in the mess that had befallen us, but now that we were in the midst of it, we were not in it to be brushed off by the court system --- nothing short of the the defendant's paying to the full extent of the law would be acceptable. As it turns out, the defendant had made a habit of evading the consequences of previous crimes. S/he was in trouble with the law on multiple occasions before, but s/he was never made to pay the way that the law is set up to protect us. I don't know why and how that was the case, but I mention it because it was frustrating to imagine that we were going to be left with the harm that was done to us while s/he laughed and continued to hurt other people. As time came closer and closer to the court date for our case, Vicki became increasingly focused, leaving no stone unturned, pursuing information and gathering the resources needed to make our day in court be the success we were hoping for. Her level of commitment and sincerity is second to none. I can't think of ANY dealings with anyone in any field where the level of commitment was as high as what Vicki showed us. She doesn't play to lose, let me just say that. Super sweet, super approachable, and super accessible. Which almost seemed unfair to her because she was working way outside standard hours to insure that everything went right for the case. I imagine she is willing to do that because she is so empathetic; she knows that her clients are not only feeling vulnerable, but that the consequence of the case they bring to her is one that will probably shape their future. Without revealing too much detail, let me just say that all of Vicki's steady legwork in advance of the court date resulted in a *huge* victory that put the defendant exactly where s/he need to be. It could not have possibly ended in a more gratifying way. To the extent that the law can redeem things, they were redeemed. I have read so many stories of unmotivated lawyers who are glad to take their pay while putting in superficial effort, leaving their clients in debt, and bringing no results. If that's been your case, it's time to cut your losses and cut the ties with any distracted or incompetent lawyer you may be working with. Reach out to Vicki if you want someone who will fight with your heart and her expertise.

Vicki won custody of my son for me, which was huge for us! I’d been through a long and contentious divorce but my ex was alienating me from my son and not following the court order. On our first meeting I explained her behavior to Vicki and immediately felt confident that Vicki understood. She has a psychology degree and a lot of empathy. I needed someone to understand what I was dealing with and fight for me. She did just that.

I contacted Wiese Law Firm after two very bad attorney experiences during my Terrible Contested Divorce. Vicki and Barb ("Simply phenomenal" is what I call them) were by far, the friendliest, most professional, and highly educated Ladies ever. Vicki had less than 2 months to prepare for my case. What I called a nightmare. I remember her saying to me this is nothing. Because even in our bad times..others have it worse and she's witnessed it. Not only was she swift with her actions, but they also worked with me financially. She has worked diligently on my case from day one and she keeps me updated on every move that's made. We are approaching my court date in another week. In the past that was a day of dread and I would actually get sick. I am actually excited and can't wait and go. You know why? Because Vicki knows her stuff and doesn't take any crap and that's me putting it nicely. I have not a worry one. NOT ONE. All the horrible things I've been through this past year are about to be made right. I say that because that is how much confidence I have in Vicki. Weise Law Firm is the place to start in the scary, emotional process of divorce. You won't regret it!

Vicki was a wonderful lawyer during an extremely difficult divorce. She made sure I understood what was happening, provided answers to my questions, and displayed a caring and sincere attitude through it all. I am so glad she was on my side. She helped me fight for me and my children. That is priceless.

If you want and/or need a lawyer that is calculated and thorough, an expert that will review your case once and have a plan for your win, then look no further than Vicki at Wiese Law Firm. After 4 attorneys over a 2.5 yr period, numerous, COUNTLESS court hearings, that of which I always left feeling defeated with no end in sight, then I hired Vicki who prevailed!! She articulated my case with flawless skill. I truly do not think anyone else could have matched her stellar court performance. She is life changing. She is motivated, organized, articulate, attentive and focused. She is driven and respected. She has an exceptional reputation. Just having her as your attorney will give you immediate confidence. She will take control, no longer will you feel overwhelmed or uncertain. After 15 mins into my consult, I knew she was DIFFERENT. I could see how she took everything in and had a grasp that I had not witnessed prior. Barb her legal assist is also amazing and is extremely knowledgeable and available to guide and assist throughout as well. Very prompt and diligent. There are attorneys that can make you think your case is a priority. Vicki is shows it and proves it from start to finish. Don't throw away your precious time and money on anyone else. She is all you need and more. Her presence alone is a statement. She is worth a million times her fees. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH about how perfect she is. She dominates in her field. She is an absolute MUST HAVE! Having her as an attorney feels and equates to driving a Bugatti in a world of Ford Escorts. FLAWLESS VICTORY!!

Vicki Francois, Esq. at Wiese Law Firm stepped in our complex and exhausting 2 year custody battle with no hesitation. Vicki was immediately comprehensive, strategic, one step ahead and a power house. When you hire Vicki and her Paralegal Barb, you have hired a 5 star team of legal advocates who care, who will keep you informed and who will fight for you till the end. The confidence of "One and Done" even after 2 other Lawyers "failed" was inspiring. Hiring Vicki first would have prevented 2 years of agony, excessive time with amateur Attorneys, thousands of dollars and unnecessary heartache. Vicki's day #1 passion and persistence paid off! The outcome of our case was successful. With tact and class she proved our grueling family law case in 2 hours! With all of the changes in recent years in LGBTQ cases, It is imperative that you have the experience, dedication that Vicki has with not just a loud bark but a big bite!! Vicki IS the "best" and "only" option if your looking for a Super Lawyer. She is a fighter and a winner!! Thank you Vicki and Barb / Wiese Law Firm is #1!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
