"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.

She was easy to reach and her office always responded promptly. Thanks to Kate, my charges were reduced and my case was sealed.

"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!

"My worries were eased by the compassion of Kate and the staff"

I received outstanding service! My worries were eased by the compassion of the staff, as this was a very stressful time for me being told that my DL has been revoked. My case was handled with expedited care and the price didn't hurt my pockets.

"My case was complicated and was not leaning towards my favor... I thank the lord for meeting Mrs. Mesic."

When I met Mrs. Mesic It was for a DUI. I had never been in trouble with the law like this before, and my life as I knew it was over. Mrs. Mesic broke down the legal jargon, helped me understand , and fought for my case. My case was complicated and was not leaning towards my favor. Mrs. Mesic and her team worked my DUI case down to reckless driving, probation, and some community service. I thank the lord for meeting Mrs. Mesic, and for the people responsible for introducing her into my life. I would recommend Mrs. Mesic with similar cases no questions asked.

"Their legal knowledge helped to develop the best strategy to win."

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.
