Let me just start off by saying Vicki and barb are AMAZING, I was going thru an extremely difficult custody battle with my ex I looked on Google to find a lawyer and I came across “Wiese law firm” I had never seen a lawyer that had 5 stars no matter what website you looked on. So I contacted her firm, after the first phone call with barb I felt so relieved!! I explained to her my situation, she really listened to me and set up a zoom consult with Vicki. Once speaking to Vicki I felt even better! I hired her as my attorney and I must say I would leave court prior to hiring her feeling defeated every time. Vicki is a perfectionist to say the least, she gets the job done and she keeps you in the loop every step of the way. With her by my side in court I felt like anything could be thrown at me and she was like my heavy duty armor that had me protected at every angle! She’s not one of those lawyers that will just tell you what you want to hear, she’s very transparent . She let me know from day one the chances of court going in my favor and even had a plan for the future just in case to get me more visitation! I’m so happy I hired her, I walked away with physical custody granted back to me for my daughter. After leaving that court room I hugged Vicki so hard and just immediately began crying and thanking her, her exact words were “you did it mama” in reality I couldn’t have done this without her and instead of just saying thank you she recognized me for the outcome of my court case. I recommend her to everyone!!!! Her and barb make you feel so at home and bigger than just “another client” to them. They get to the job and get it DONE!!! Thank you all so much I could never repay you guys for what you did for me!!! I cried the whole way thru typing this. I will never step into court for any reason without Vicki by my side! My family was put back together because of these wonderful women, and for that we are FOREVER grateful!!

Vicki is an expert in her field and knows family law! She is well organized and takes the time necessary to prepare the case for court. When In court, she takes the time needed for your case and follows up afterward to ensure you understand and are comfortable about the next step. I would highly recommend Vicki for any family law need.

VICKI TOOK OVER MY CASE WHEN MY LAWYER WAS PROMOTED TO J&D JUDGE, WITH JUST A FEW WEEKS UNTIL MY COURT DATE, VICKI WASTED NO TIME GETTING TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND MY CASE. SHE WAS VERY THOROUGH AND CONFIDENT IN COURT. I WAS ABLE TO GET VISITATION WITH MY GRANDCHILDEN. I WOULD DEFINATLEY RECOMMEND HER AND WILL USE HER AGAIN IF THE NEED ARISES.

I believe that Vicki takes cases she believes in. She is willing to fight and will go to bat for her client. She is very knowledgeable of the law and does a great job of explaining things to her clients. There is a reason she is so busy!

I highly recommend this law firm. It is important to have an experienced attorney such as Vicki however you feel so much better when you know that your attorney actually cares about you as a human being and she has a beautiful heart herself. She will explain to you so you are not feeling left out in the dark.

Vicki has been my rock through a long and arduous divorce and child custody battle. She understands the emotional toll these situations have on clients and has helped me get through the tough times. She has helped me receive and retain the court's protection of my parenting rights and parenting time. She knows the victimized client needs help to deal with passive-aggressive behavior that is aimed to go "below the radar" of the system. Vicki is SMART and can help bring to light this type of abuse.

Vicki's knowledge of the law and its nuances are nearly without peer. Her years of practice provide her with a depth of experience that is clear in the time leading up to a case, as well as during and after a case is heard in court. She has a reputation of toughness among prosecuting attorneys. While these attributes are highly important to being successful in a case, the most noteworthy part of Vicki's abilities is really her compassion and understanding, and the "hand-holding" that she and her assistant provide during the time leading up to, and after, a case is heard in court. I felt total assurance during the entire process...like Vicki truly had my back. She is almost always instantly reachable with a phone call or email. For the client who wants representation who has a deep knowledge of the law, combined with the empathy and understanding that is comforting during domestic law proceedings, I am very pleased to offer my highest possible recommendation of Vicki.

Our case was like no other and Vicki and Barb still took us on and took care of us. Evening and weekend calls and emails, being there just to listen and always having our back no matter what. You don’t find that in every attorney/paralegal. From day one we felt like we mattered and we knew Vicki would protect us and take care of us and she did. I can never thank her enough for what she has done. I would recommend her without hesitation always! Five stars all the way!

Vicki is an amazing lawyer and all around great person!! I would highly recommend her to anyone. I’ve been battling with my case for the past four years and she was able to finally give me some peace of mind and won my case! For once in four years I finally feel my children and myself are safe!! It’s an amazing feeling! Vicki, you are a rockstar and I can’t thank you enough!!

Vicki was responsive from Day 1, and very knowledgeable. She made me feel at ease and was non-judgmental (you think that would be a given with lawyers, but it isn't). She made things easy to understand for me, and I felt extremely confident with her by my side. I was so very fortunate to have found Vicki and cannot say enough fantastic things about her. You don't need to research any further, Vicki is the attorney you've been looking for.

Somehow, I managed to live 53 years of my life without needing a lawyer. Never needed anyone to defend me and never had a need to go after anyone. That's the way I like it. Then someone entered my family's life and turned our peaceful world inside out, putting one of my children at tremendous risk and exposing us to stuff I had only seen in movies prior to this. Very alarming and potentially unrepairable long term damage was our new reality. I was encouraged to seek justice and this is how we became clients of Vicki Wiese. Because I had no clue about the law and how things work, we needed a lot of hand-holding. The first time we met, Vicki asked us to share the salient details to how we were wronged and she asked us to tell her what kind of outcome we were hoping for. I told her that we never wanted to be in the mess that had befallen us, but now that we were in the midst of it, we were not in it to be brushed off by the court system --- nothing short of the the defendant's paying to the full extent of the law would be acceptable. As it turns out, the defendant had made a habit of evading the consequences of previous crimes. S/he was in trouble with the law on multiple occasions before, but s/he was never made to pay the way that the law is set up to protect us. I don't know why and how that was the case, but I mention it because it was frustrating to imagine that we were going to be left with the harm that was done to us while s/he laughed and continued to hurt other people. As time came closer and closer to the court date for our case, Vicki became increasingly focused, leaving no stone unturned, pursuing information and gathering the resources needed to make our day in court be the success we were hoping for. Her level of commitment and sincerity is second to none. I can't think of ANY dealings with anyone in any field where the level of commitment was as high as what Vicki showed us. She doesn't play to lose, let me just say that. Super sweet, super approachable, and super accessible. Which almost seemed unfair to her because she was working way outside standard hours to insure that everything went right for the case. I imagine she is willing to do that because she is so empathetic; she knows that her clients are not only feeling vulnerable, but that the consequence of the case they bring to her is one that will probably shape their future. Without revealing too much detail, let me just say that all of Vicki's steady legwork in advance of the court date resulted in a *huge* victory that put the defendant exactly where s/he need to be. It could not have possibly ended in a more gratifying way. To the extent that the law can redeem things, they were redeemed. I have read so many stories of unmotivated lawyers who are glad to take their pay while putting in superficial effort, leaving their clients in debt, and bringing no results. If that's been your case, it's time to cut your losses and cut the ties with any distracted or incompetent lawyer you may be working with. Reach out to Vicki if you want someone who will fight with your heart and her expertise.

Vicki won custody of my son for me, which was huge for us! I’d been through a long and contentious divorce but my ex was alienating me from my son and not following the court order. On our first meeting I explained her behavior to Vicki and immediately felt confident that Vicki understood. She has a psychology degree and a lot of empathy. I needed someone to understand what I was dealing with and fight for me. She did just that.

I contacted Wiese Law Firm after two very bad attorney experiences during my Terrible Contested Divorce. Vicki and Barb ("Simply phenomenal" is what I call them) were by far, the friendliest, most professional, and highly educated Ladies ever. Vicki had less than 2 months to prepare for my case. What I called a nightmare. I remember her saying to me this is nothing. Because even in our bad times..others have it worse and she's witnessed it. Not only was she swift with her actions, but they also worked with me financially. She has worked diligently on my case from day one and she keeps me updated on every move that's made. We are approaching my court date in another week. In the past that was a day of dread and I would actually get sick. I am actually excited and can't wait and go. You know why? Because Vicki knows her stuff and doesn't take any crap and that's me putting it nicely. I have not a worry one. NOT ONE. All the horrible things I've been through this past year are about to be made right. I say that because that is how much confidence I have in Vicki. Weise Law Firm is the place to start in the scary, emotional process of divorce. You won't regret it!

If you want and/or need a lawyer that is calculated and thorough, an expert that will review your case once and have a plan for your win, then look no further than Vicki at Wiese Law Firm. After 4 attorneys over a 2.5 yr period, numerous, COUNTLESS court hearings, that of which I always left feeling defeated with no end in sight, then I hired Vicki who prevailed!! She articulated my case with flawless skill. I truly do not think anyone else could have matched her stellar court performance. She is life changing. She is motivated, organized, articulate, attentive and focused. She is driven and respected. She has an exceptional reputation. Just having her as your attorney will give you immediate confidence. She will take control, no longer will you feel overwhelmed or uncertain. After 15 mins into my consult, I knew she was DIFFERENT. I could see how she took everything in and had a grasp that I had not witnessed prior. Barb her legal assist is also amazing and is extremely knowledgeable and available to guide and assist throughout as well. Very prompt and diligent. There are attorneys that can make you think your case is a priority. Vicki is shows it and proves it from start to finish. Don't throw away your precious time and money on anyone else. She is all you need and more. Her presence alone is a statement. She is worth a million times her fees. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH about how perfect she is. She dominates in her field. She is an absolute MUST HAVE! Having her as an attorney feels and equates to driving a Bugatti in a world of Ford Escorts. FLAWLESS VICTORY!!

Vicki Francois, Esq. at Wiese Law Firm stepped in our complex and exhausting 2 year custody battle with no hesitation. Vicki was immediately comprehensive, strategic, one step ahead and a power house. When you hire Vicki and her Paralegal Barb, you have hired a 5 star team of legal advocates who care, who will keep you informed and who will fight for you till the end. The confidence of "One and Done" even after 2 other Lawyers "failed" was inspiring. Hiring Vicki first would have prevented 2 years of agony, excessive time with amateur Attorneys, thousands of dollars and unnecessary heartache. Vicki's day #1 passion and persistence paid off! The outcome of our case was successful. With tact and class she proved our grueling family law case in 2 hours! With all of the changes in recent years in LGBTQ cases, It is imperative that you have the experience, dedication that Vicki has with not just a loud bark but a big bite!! Vicki IS the "best" and "only" option if your looking for a Super Lawyer. She is a fighter and a winner!! Thank you Vicki and Barb / Wiese Law Firm is #1!

Hiring Ms. Francois was one of the best decisions we ever made. She's extremely good at what she does and takes the time to get to know her clients. She's also available in emergencies and we've had a few. That's huge for us. She wins too while being honest about possible outcomes which we very much like. Our case is ongoing, complicated and contentious. Ms. Francois has been there for it all. We highly recommend her firm.

I am not even kidding when I say that hiring Vicki to represent me was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I have had several attorneys before this and, given the strangeness of my case, none of them believed in me or fought for me above the bare minimum required. Vicki took the time to actually listen to me and get to know the history of my case. Finally I have an attorney who cares! She worked so hard to get me through an almost decade long legal battle in which I was always the underdog and she won! I can not begin to describe how grateful I am for her and Barb!

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
