Client Testimonials

I am an attorney in Chicago and referred two cases to Kate. Kate kept both my client and I well informed of the proceedings. She responded promptly to inquiries and had an excellent knowledge of the issues. I highly recommend Kate.- Mike

I know know Kate personally and professionally. Unfortunately I was involved in a 3rd DUI (over 36 yrs time period). Obviously I was in a very precarious situation. She gave excellent advice/council to me which I followed. I believe I received the BEST possible outcome from this difficult position. No jail time, lowest fines applicable, and early release from probation. She was available by phone, e-mail or in person as much as I needed her. All contacts were returned, something rare in any business! I would recommend her without reservation. Professional excellence, and exceptional personal treatment.- Ken

The Law Offices of Kate Mesic, P.A. was fantastic to work with. They were very attentive to details, and communication with the office staff was fast and easy. Their knowledge and experience were key to a successful outcome. I'm so thankful I chose them for my defense!- Former Client

Ms. Mesic came highly recommended (by one of the best lawyer I have ever dealt with) to handle a traffic citation case that was anything but ordinary. The recognition among her peers alone was enough to convince me that Ms. Mesic was fully capable of handling the time, effort and attention to detail my case would require. She not only completed the daunting task, in which no case law specifically addressed my situation, but did it with outstanding results. I will always refer my friends and family to Ms. Mesic if any situation arises in the future, as I know they will be in good hands.- Ray
-
I trusted her and her staff with my case. I reside out of state and if my case was handled wrong it potentially could have had a negative effect on my employment. Their legal knowledge helped to develop the best strategy to win. They knew what information was needed to build a good case including options that I was unaware of. During the whole process they had professional and prompt correspondence about the progress of the case. When she called me to give me the outcome of the case, the results were better than what I was expecting! I couldn’t have been more pleased with the job they did! Thank you Mesic Law.- Mike

Kate Mesic is a highly skilled, industrious expert attorney who works hard for her clients. After a referral, I called her and explained my situation, asking her opinion about how to proceed. She listened attentively and was professionally sympathetic while also clearly laying out the options for me. When my husband and I decided to hire her, we quickly learned that she was always at the top of her game, immediately responsive to our needs, and was clear and committed in her decision-making. Ms. Mesic is a pro at handling tough situations and difficult individuals. She dealt easily with our opposing party, smoothly sailing through the challenges he presented. What I found particularly compelling about working with Ms. Mesic was her honest, straightforward approach. She clearly has a fine-tuned knowledge about the workings of the law, and when I asked her advice she would be straightforward with me about potential outcomes. She certainly could have proceeded in ways that would have drawn out the proceedings and ultimately cost us more, but instead she was frank and open about where we should compromise. I appreciated this and believe it resulted in the best possible results in our situation. Ms. Kate Mesic’s expertise and legal ability were evident throughout our time working with her. She is a consummate professional with a hard driving work ethic, and immediately knows how to respond to any legal obstacle in her path. If anyone can accomplish the best case scenario for someone seeking legal services, it is her. I highly recommend Ms. Kate Mesic.- Jennifer
