“Excellent Attorney; Went Above and Beyond My Expectations

Mieke is a genuine attorney, honest, and very hardworking. I sought her help after getting into quite a bit of trouble, it was twice over the last 3 years. Most recently, I had 3 criminal charges against me and I was facing major prison time. The case was very complex and the prosecution was unwilling to make any agreement other than just putting me away. They did not consider my special circumstance, and the evidence they had against me was overwhelming. It looked like a 1/100 chance of me not going to prison. Mieke, however, fought hard, and she never gave up. Her legal strategy was very well thought out. It was a very long battle, where there seemed to be no win in sight. But her patience, determination, and perseverance was like none other. She really went to bat for me, and in the end we were able to come to a deal that did not include prison time. Her care for her clients is unmatched. I am forever grateful.

“Great Attorney!

“Kind and Understanding

Meike is the best! She’s intelligent, knowledgeable and compassionate. We hired Mieke to represent my brother who found himself charged in a criminal matter. We were beside ourselves, worrying about the outcome. We had retained a prior attorney who we felt did was not representing him properly, and would have landed him in prison. When Mieke substituted in to the case, she was able to review everything with a fresh perspective and was able to negotiate the charges down to a misdemeanor and summary probation. We are so grateful to Mieke for her dedication and experience, she comforted us and held our hand through the entire ordeal. I wholeheartedly recommend Mieke to anyone who needs legal representation, she is highly experienced, honest, and actually cares about her clients and their families.
