JACKSONVILLE CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY 

"Kate is one of a kind! Her ethics, drive, expertise and support was impressive and reassuring to both my son and myself."

While my adult son was in town over the Christmas holiday, he was pulled over for driving without his headlights on after dark. (The Valet parking at his hotel had turned them off of auto.) He had consumed a few drinks over the course of the evening and the police officer asked him to do the breathalyzer test. When my son refused, he was taken to jail. I received a call from my daughter-in-law, early the next morning. I called Kate, as I had met her a few times and was impressed by her work ethic, knowledge of the law, professionalism and "humanness" . She was at home at the time of my call, but pulled up the arrest report etc. She told me what time the hearing before the judge was to be that afternoon and said she would meet me at the building where the hearing was to be. (Did I mention this was a Saturday morning?) By the time I arrived, Kate had already spoken to my son, collecting information necessary as she went along. When the judge entered his Chambers, Kate approached him immediately, asking that he hear my son's case first, for reasons that she had already informed us of. Already, I'm impressed, but it only got better. Because Kate is so motivated to help her clients, is extremely intelligent, and has extensive knowledge and understanding of the law and the system's processes, she proactively met with the Prosecutor and was able to get the charges reduced to a lesser charge. This resulted in a SIGNIFICANTLY better outcome for my son. Kate went above and beyond what she was paid to do, in many ways. One of which was letting my son know, in no uncertain terms, the seriousness of this matter and exactly what he needed to do to follow the exact rules of the law. She let him know exactly what the consequences would be, should he not. She kept in touch with my son the whole step of the way; consulting, counseling and yes, checking, to make sure he stayed on track with dates and responsibilities. Yes, Kate is one of a kind! Her ethics, drive, expertise and support was impressive and reassuring to both my son and myself. She is No. 1 in Northeast Florida, as far as we are concerned. I am confident if we have the opportunity to work with this wonderful attorney again, it will under different circumstances, but the end results will be the same.

"I could not be more satisfied with the outcome."

I consulted & hired Kate to handle a traffic violation and she was able to get the issue resolved in a timely manner. I highly recommend Kate. The first consultation was free and she explained what needed to happen. She set the right expectations and proceeded to represent me in court and got the case dropped. I Could not be more satisfied with the outcome and I'm happy I relied on reviews just like this to hire her! I highly recommend Kate and her staff as they will make sure to communicate in a timely manner and follow up on your case.

"Kind, patient, understanding, amazing communication skills, and most importantly she listened to what I said and what I wanted."

Ms. Mesic represented me just recently on a case I have been fighting for years. She was one of 10 attorneys I was speaking too. Out of all of the top 10 she was the best and exactly what I was looking for. Kind, patient, understanding, amazing communication skills, and most importantly she listened to what I said and what I wanted. She forms a plan and follows it through. Professionalism at it's best in a field full of cons, she is a bright light. Thank you.

"I would recommend her without reservation."

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.
