Client Testimonials

    "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.

    "If anyone can accomplish the best case scenario for someone seeking legal services, it is her. I highly recommend Ms. Kate Mesic."
    Kate Mesic is a highly skilled, industrious expert attorney who works hard for her clients. After a referral, I called her and explained my situation, asking her opinion about how to proceed. She listened attentively and was professionally sympathetic while also clearly laying out the options for me. When my husband and I decided to hire her, we quickly learned that she was always at the top of her game, immediately responsive to our needs, and was clear and committed in her decision-making. Ms. Mesic is a pro at handling tough situations and difficult individuals. She dealt easily with our opposing party, smoothly sailing through the challenges he presented. What I found particularly compelling about working with Ms. Mesic was her honest, straightforward approach. She clearly has a fine-tuned knowledge about the workings of the law, and when I asked her advice she would be straightforward with me about potential outcomes. She certainly could have proceeded in ways that would have drawn out the proceedings and ultimately cost us more, but instead she was frank and open about where we should compromise. I appreciated this and believe it resulted in the best possible results in our situation. Ms. Kate Mesic’s expertise and legal ability were evident throughout our time working with her. She is a consummate professional with a hard driving work ethic, and immediately knows how to respond to any legal obstacle in her path. If anyone can accomplish the best case scenario for someone seeking legal services, it is her. I highly recommend Ms. Kate Mesic.

    "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.

    "I highly recommend that if you need an attorney - call Kate!!!"
    Yekaterina (Kate) helped me with a legal issue and she is an excellent attorney. She quoted me a price - very fair and it stayed as quoted. She followed up with me to let me know where we were in the process, she followed up with me when I needed to complete a step to make sure I didn't drop the ball. I highly recommend that if you need an attorney - call Kate!!! Also - I referred Kate to a couple other people and she contacted them immediately - which is so important when you need an attorney you need one quickly - both people I referred her to were very happy also.

    "Kate filed a motion to modify so I can pay fines outside of probation. Judge approved motion!"
    I was in danger of violating my probation because I couldn't pay court fines in time. Kate filed a motion to modify so I can pay fines outside of probation. Judge approved motion!
    - Former Client
    "Gave me back my life!!"
    They are top-notch, efficient, very knowledgeable, and yes, they are even very friendly.
    - Dave
    "Extremely happy with the outcome."
    Found The Law Offices of Kate Mesic, P.A. through a friend. They took my requests seriously and helped secure the outcome I wanted. They understood my concerns and protected me in court. Everything was resolved in less than a week. Extremely happy and will always recommend them.
    - Former Client
    "She saved me $10,000."
    I was passed Attorney Mesic's name by a mutual business colleague. I was involved in a dispute with three brothers who owned the property I rented and who, unbeknownst to me had been feuding between themselves primarily over this property for years. In addition to her expertness at negotiating the legal landscape, she used her terrific interpersonal skills and her ability to work collaboratively with opposing counsel in a difficult situation to resolve this matter. What I most appreciated was that she recognized that I just didn't want to deal with these jokers or their agent anymore and so she completely took it over, while keeping me informed. I think she saved me $10,000.
