Client Testimonials

    "She was dedicated to my case, always kept me informed each step of the way, and genuinely cared about the outcome."
    On two separate occasions I have hired Mrs. Mesic to represent me criminal charges. The first was a high fine/substantial point speeding ticket, and the second was a criminal citation for driving while license suspended. In both instances Mrs. Mesic was able to get the charges dismissed with no penalties. She was dedicated to my case, always kept me informed each step of the way, and genuinely cared about the outcome. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through legal issues.
    - Ray
    "She was very compassionate and she came up with a game plan right away!"
    My daughter and I hired Mrs. Mesic for my son. He had prior drug arrests, a DUI, and several violation of probation. He was facing maximum time of 8 years and at the age of 21! She was very compassionate and she came up with a game plan right away! She stayed in constant contact with myself and my daughter via phone and email. Her staff was very quick with response to keep us updated on court dates, etc. she ultimately got his time reduced to 8 months, and kept him out of prison! I am forever thankful for what she has done, and I highly recommend her!
    - Teresa
    "I am extremely happy with the outcome & will always recommend her to people."
    I found Kate through a friend who had used her in the past. As the alleged "victim" of a criminal case, she took my requests very seriously and helped ensure I got the outcome I wanted vs. what the state wanted to happen. She understood my concerns and protected me in the court from being asked any questions. She had everything dismissed and resolved in less than a week. I am extremely happy with the outcome and will always recommend her to people.
    - Former Client
    "We would like to thank you so much for getting us through our stressful situation."

    "Beyond anything I could have hoped for!"
    Jess was very understanding and definitely the easiest lawyer to discuss a case with. I would recommend her just on her humbleness, genuine personality! Her work went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for!
    - Former Client
    "HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER to anyone who is looking for effective solutions."
    I called Kate late afternoon with a concern over a contract dispute. Kate took time to listen to my concern, asked questions, described my options and developed a comprehensive strategy. The following morning Kate delivered a draft of a document and called to follow up with me. She was highly effective in her work and her efforts produced an immediate result. The matter was settled and resolved within 48 hours of my contact with Kate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER to anyone who is looking for effective solutions.

    "Best lawyer in the world"

    Miss Mesic is the best lawyer in Jacksonville.

    - Carl
    "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.
