Client Testimonials

    "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!

    "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.

    "If your looking for legal representation, you cannot do any better."
    I had a lot of concerns when I got into an accident in a construction zone and was charged with leaving the scene of an accident when no other cars we're involved. Mrs. Mesic was able to fight hard and made sure I got a favorable outcome, as well as always keeping me informed through the whole process. Even during the initial consultation it was clear that she was always going to have your best interest at heart. If your looking for legal representation, you cannot do any better.
    - Jason
    "She had everything dismissed"
    I am extremely happy with the outcome
    - Ashley
    "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
    "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.
