Criminal Lawyers in Jacksonville, FL

"I am so pleased that Kate was my attorney who got me the best possible outcome I was hoping for!"

I retained Kate's services in January 2013 after receiving a criminal citation for driving without a valid license (I hold a foreign license was was told otherwise by the Duval County Tax Collector's office I may continue to drive with my foreign license for up to 6 months). Given that I am a foreign citizen, on a visa, and also a fellow lawyer by profession (contracts lawyer), I needed a competent and responsive lawyer ASAP in the criminal and traffic citation field. After searching message boards and telephoning a few lawyers, I found Kate. Her past experience coupled with her confidence, responsiveness but most importantly time, patience and sympathy made her the ideal match for me to retain her services. I seldom see other lawyers provide such services, but Kate is clearly the exception. Kate gave me the time to explain my case in our first call, asking all the right questions. That responsiveness never once faltered throughout my representation. Her attention to me did not make me feel like a docket number, but rather a fellow human being with emotions, concerns, and needs just like everyone else. In terms of managing the case, Kate wasted no time in getting my paperwork and statement of fact together. She immediately docketed my case for the earliest possible hearing. Kate explained all my possible options, from the best case scenario, the middle case scenario, and to the worst case scenario. No lawyer will guarantee an outcome, and the worst case scenario along with possible prosecutor rebuttals was somewhat unnerving. But Kate's patience and determination to get this resolved for me immediately helped incredibly and with her skills combined, a few days before my hearing, she reached a deal with the state prosecutor for dismissal, and the case was subsequently dismissed on the first hearing. I strongly recommend Kate for her services. I actually attended my first (and only) hearing to hear for myself the dismissal and was amazed that Kate was there so early at 8am and first in line and therefore being that my case was heard first. A lot of defendants that morning would have benefited Kate's punctual, competent and diligent representation, and I am so pleased that Kate was my attorney who got me the best possible outcome I was hoping for!

"Kate was extremely prompt with her assistance. She was able to get the best possible resolve working with the prosecution."

We contacted Ms. Mesic upon a recommendation from a friend in Tampa. Our issue was with regard to a felony case in Jacksonville. Kate was extremely prompt with her assistance. She was able to get the best possible resolve working with the prosecution. The case was ultimately dropped. She would consistently keep in touch with us regarding her work on the case and giving us updates on her progress. No only is she a wonderful lawyer she is also a wonderful person. Very personable and easy to work with.

"Ms. Mesic as has offered very practical legal advice that has been a benefit to me in other areas."

I retained Ms. Mesic to advise and ultimately represent me on a civil matter. I have never needed the services of a lawyer and was terrified at the prospect. She impressed me with her deep knowledge in the field, her genuine interest and compassion in my case and her professionalism during consultation and representation. Her staff is top notch, very welcoming and thorough. Through Ms. Mesic's efforts my case was settled better than I could have ever expected. Since then, Ms. Mesic as has offered very practical legal advice that has been a benefit to me in other areas. I highly recommend Ms. Mesic as an attorney and as counsel. There is not a doubt in my mind that she will do an excellent job for you.

"She is proactive and does the best job possible."

Kate helped me with both of my cases regarding my DWI and my felony possession, as well as the expungement of the former. She was extremely efficient with the court and the filings for my cases. She worked out the best deal with the prosecutor. She was also so helpful guiding me through the nuances of my cases, along with helping me understand everything that needed to be done to get these filed and closed. Kate is an amazing lawyer, as well as an amazing person. She is proactive and does the best job possible.
