From the moment I hired Vivian Mejia, I felt a sense of relief. She earned my trust right away with her honesty, compassion, and deep understanding of the law. During an incredibly stressful time in my life, she gave me peace of mind by keeping me informed, answering every question, and making me feel supported throughout the process. Watching her confidence and presence in the courtroom reassured me that my future was in capable hands. Because of her dedication and commitment, my case was resolved in my favor, allowing me to move forward with my life. I am truly grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend Vivian Mejia to anyone who needs a strong, trustworthy criminal defense attorney.

Vivian is awesome! I went in with a lot of questions about early termination of probation, and expungement. She calmly answered all my questions and put my mind at ease. Went to court today, and was granted early termination of probation, and my case was expunged!!! Thank you Vivian. This felony has been a weight on my chest, and I feel I can finally put the past behind me and concentrate on my future!!

First and foremost, I'd like to give the Biggest Thanks to Vivian Mejia. I was charged for a DUI back in June of last year, and hiring Vivian for the case was a no brainer. She fought hard and even though the DA was offering me a deal, we continued the fight. And thank God we did because my case ended up getting dismissed. My job and livelihood were at stake, and she got the job done. Once again Vivian Thank You for making it happen. Would Definitely recommend Vivian Mejia.

I can’t thank Vivian Mejia enough for the incredible support she provided throughout my DUI case. I found her by chance through a Google search, and the glowing reviews were absolutely spot-on. Vivian is truly excellent at what she does—thorough, detailed, and incredibly patient. She walked me through every step of the process, making sure I fully understood my options and what to expect, good, bad or ugly. What stood out most was her genuine kindness, transparency, and unwavering professionalism. Having her in my corner gave me peace of mind during an incredibly stressful season. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate attorney.

My experience with Vivian Ann Mejia was not good. I was told that she was the best in Stanislaus County when it comes to mitigating DUIs. And yes, I truly believe that she may be an intelligent woman and an expert at what she does. However, there were a few things that made uncomfortable: 1) She seems to be very inundated with her caseloads, which is completely understandable. However, if this is the case, then she should have been honest and simply stated that she is unable to take on my DUI case. And I could have taken my business elsewhere to an attorney who is more attentive. I say that because there were several times where she promised to return my phone calls, text-messages, or emails, and did not follow through on her word to do so. In turn, I felt the need to stay on top of her (more than probably should be) in order to make sure that she was on point in handling my case. Poor Communication style. 2) When I finally had an opportunity to meet with Vivian at her office, I wanted to converse with her on some things regarding my DUI case. In addition, I wanted to actually witness her style in person to fully gage her suitability for me. However, she seemed to be in a rush to leave the office. Yes, she set me up at one of her computers so I can review my traffic stop footage on my own, but again, she was not attentive. At this point I determined that this client-attorney relationship may not be good for me to continue. Again, I understand full schedules and been busy, but it was not a good way to start off a client-attorney relationship, especially when meeting in-person for the first time. First impression was not the best. 3) There were no written 'Terms & Conditions' for me to review in regard to how/ if I would be charged continuously for frequent communication. Unfortunately, I did not find this out until after I terminated Vivian's services. At this point, I was informed that she would initiate an itemization process toward an issued refund. Long story short, out of the $3,000 I paid out to her, only $159.00 was refunded. Considering that she did not step foot into any court setting on my behalf, this refund was beyond unreasonable. Aside from a 10 to 15 minute DMV hearing (via phone call), she did not perform any other significant work on my behalf that would be deserving of $3,000. No clarity. Overall, since I just so happen to be an understanding and empathetic individual, I will exercise basic grace for what she lacked with me. As far the money that I lost, I am trusting that she will correct this issue, hopefully sooner than later. Other than that, I feel that "2 stars" should be fair at this time.

We take all reviews seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised.<br><br>Our firm is built on a strong foundation of professionalism, transparency, and clear communication. To that end, we maintain strict policies and procedures to ensure that each client’s case is handled efficiently, with all necessary documentation and communication being fully documented.<br><br>Regarding the concerns about communication, our firm adheres to a well-structured process for managing client interactions. This matter included over 70 text messages, 20 emails, numerous phone calls, and a Zoom meeting to ensure clients were kept informed. While we recognize that different clients have different communication preferences, it is important to note that all communication was handled within the framework of our standard procedures.<br><br>We want to clarify that with regards to fees there are many factors and actions taken for every case. The total fee was $4500, with a deposit of $2500 paid in July 2024. Our agreement included structured payments with a clear understanding of when services would be billed. The client failed to adhere to the agreed-upon payment schedule, which was due starting in August. Despite this, we did not charge any late fees and worked to ensure services continued based on the initial agreement.<br><br><br><br>The client’s dissatisfaction with the refund is noted, but it is important to recognize that the amount of $2840 was billed for services already rendered. This includes substantial work such as reviewing all reports and electronic evidence, subpoenaing essential evidence, conducting the DMV hearing, numerous communications with the client, and preparing for negotiations with the DA.<br> <br>Given the work completed before court proceedings, and considering industry standards, the charge of $2840 reflects the value of services provided.<br><br>The refund issued was in line with our policy, which accounts for the work performed and the out-of-pocket expenses incurred, such as MVARS disc and mailing fees. It’s standard practice in the legal industry to withhold charges for work completed in good faith before refunding any remaining balance. The client was refunded $159 after all services and fees were accounted for.<br><br>It’s important for clients to understand that legal services involve complex, time-consuming work, and expectations regarding refunds should be aligned with the work done and the agreements in place. We stand by the professionalism and thoroughness of the work performed and are committed to operating with integrity.<br><br>Thank you for your feedback, and we remain dedicated to upholding the highest standards possible.<br><br>If you are considering legal services, please reach out today to schedule an initial consultation. <br><br>Thank You, <br>Vivian A.

Vivian was great! She did everything she said she would, and communicate through it all. She was able to get the charges dropped with only having to take a short class. Her rates were reasonable and she let me make it into 2 payments. She is great with working with you in order to get great legal help. Thank you for all your help.

She represented me in my court and was always there for any question I had, answering every message and every call! May God bless her always so that she can continue helping so many people and if one day I need a lawyer for anything again, she would be the only one I would turn to for help. Thank you so much 🙏

The truth is I had a very bad experience with the lawyer. She advertises in the Mexican flea market and she made me wait a long time. She didn't want to take my case. It would have been better if she had told me and her secretaries were making fun of me because I was sitting there waiting. The truth is the lawyer behaved very racist and discriminated against me very badly. It's better if she didn't advertise in places where most Mexicans go.
