    "One of the best"
    She was there every step of the way with any questions I may have had and pushed for my case to be dropped and believed in me.
    - Former Client
    "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.
    - Ron T.
    "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
    "Thoughtful, Caring, and Timely"
    Kate was very responsive upon initial contact and guided my son and I through an unknown process. She carefully managed expectations and educated us on both the pros and cons. Kate was tenacious and relentless in pursuit of attention to our case. I would highly recommend Kate and she’ll be the first I call to handle any of my future legal needs.
    - Former Client
    "She had everything dismissed"
    I am extremely happy with the outcome
    - Ashley
    "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.
    - Kathy
    "She is expert and she is not a stranger to hard work."
    Kate was very good at explaining the process and replying to any questions at any time. She is expert and she is not a stranger to hard work. I highly recommend her and her team.
    - Brad
    "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.
