Paid and got inner office notes by mistake when I picked up my file . She told other attorney she'd send paperwork snail mail so she could get it filed before I saw it . Totally unprofessional !!!! Waste of money.......

Joanna Wiegert is an experienced and very professional attorney. I went to her for help with a legal issue and she took care of everything. She explained what I needed to do, what she was going to do, and what the expected outcome would be. On every count she was spot on. I can highly recommend Wiegert Law Office.
To be fair, the consultation was free, but man, I sure got what I paid for. I was facing a misdemeanor traffic violation, and she basically told me, "I'll accept $2000 to defend you, but you have no case, so you may as well plead guilty." Even worse, she read the statute to me, and when she came to what sounded like an exculpatory passage, she said, "Well, that doesn't really mean that." Look, I'm no law student, but I know laws are written VERY literally, so if it says "x," it bloody well means "x"!
So how'd it turn out? I got another attorney, and at 1/8th the fee, he got the charge DISMISSED in exchange for court costs and a year probation. Now remember, Wiegert told me I had NO defense. Again, in fairness, it cost me more to settle than just paying the fine; but I wouldn't have gotten the charges dismissed, either. Also, the cost wasn't really the gist of her argument: It was, "You're guilty, so plead guilty." (Yeah, but she'd still accept 2 grand to fight a hopeless case? Unreal.) Glad I didn't pay for the consultation, and even happier that I didn't listen to it.
