I cant tell you how amazing Mindy has been, she gave me great advice along the process, her knowledge and personal attention are remarkable. Tom read more

Simply put, Mindy McQueen is the best! She helped me with a very difficult DUI case and overachieved expectations in every outcome. From the DMV hearing to the courtroom, she was with me every step of the way. Mindy was personally invested in my case and she stayed on top of everything I needed to do, even after the case was over. I can't thank Mindy enough for what she did for me. If you need help with a DUI she's the one to call. Thanks again, Mindy read more

I would like to state that Ms. McQueen is extremely professional and personable. She works extremely diligently to do her best in order to assist you with whatever legal matters you may require of her (of course within her scope of practice). read more

I had been referred to Mindy through a friend who just raved about her. From start to finish, Mindy was invested in my case. I can't speak highly enough of my experience... if you're looking for an attorney she is your girl! read more

I know you make enough as an attorney but if you would have listened and not talked over me. Also, expected me to know what you should know and hang up on me I would have wired a 25k retainer to you right now. But it seemed like it was a bad time of the month. Is there something going on thats stressful at work, because if it affects your judgment maybe you shouldn't work on days when you feel angry for a potential customer asking questions and trying to hire you as my defense. My reviews will be a few places regarding you and your practice. I di nothing until you tried to shut me up when explaining the situation. Let me see what time you're off, maybe that was it. OH, thats sucks i cant include attachments from past cases to see if i want to give you a second chance, Its ok I'll do it on other review sites you are on to see if I'm mistaken, but the first contact was worse than dealing with a horrible McDonald's employee. Mindy Mcnugget, is extremely unprofessional, she said didn't know how long evidence is kept even though I was trying to explain the situation but she just kept on cutting me off and right after that hung up on me. Any attorneys know the info I require and interested in taking a look at my case, there were many mistakes in my case and my public defender lied to me about the amount of alprazolam in my system, supposedly really high, despite having a RX. She just said it was really high which I couldn't believe since i had only taken 1mg 2 hours before. Then at one point I was on either 6 or 8 mg 5-8 year ago. if a 10 mile per hour skim only causes a dent the size of a grapefruit the only reason the other driver or passenger claimed back inquires is because they saw the police doing field sobriety tests right in front of them and they didn't complain about the injury until after they saw the field sobriety tests. They should be done in an area not visible to the occupants of the other vehicle. Plus, I was supposed to receive a pink piece of paper allowing me to drive for 10 days which they never gave me to go to the DMV and file an appeal. She wouldn't tell me how long DUI evidence can be kept, not even a range of possibilities. She could have at least given me an approximation considering she is a Ventura County DUI attorney/public defender read more

The best DUI lawyer in Ventura County. In the first 5 min phone call with Mindy I felt more at ease than I had in 3 previous face to face meetings with other lawyers. Every case is different, and mine was pretty bad, but she had my case pegged from the beginning and everything she said came true. She made it happen. If you want a bad ass woman on your side, go with Mindy "DUI Queen" McQueen. read more

Worst lawyer I've ever experienced. Want some back story? Okay so I called and told her my story over the phone all the details, from 2nd dui out of state case and she assured me what my sentencing would be (illegally promising what it would be) and then months down the road she indicates "I didn't know this was your second dui" ohh really lady? I told you from the beginning it was. I had our conversations documented and recorded. Then she changes her story again ohh "i didn't remember I deal with multiple cases" well yes that may be true but you need to know which case you are working on and talking about when you go to court. You can't mix them up or be an incompetent attorney (which you are beyond incompetent) Mindy went through my case and had me sign to an agreed sentencing then guess what?!?! What I signed to wasn't even the sentencing I was given. So I fired Mindy and then guess what... she scheduled another court date and went in (illegally after she was fired) and then tried to charge me more money and I told her to go back and reverse what she did after she was fired and guess what if I wanted her to do that she wanted more money. She's a con woman. So I spent hours on the phone with probation, CA DMV and the court house. I sent letters and documentation of my inadequate attorney. My probation office knew her by name and said she was absolutely horrible and this is what Mindy does so they worked with me and got me everything I desired from paying a transfer free to transfer my case to where I live, dropping the years of my probation, the courts switched my mandatory jail time to work release then I got it switched to community service where I live. I got the IID in my car dismissed by the courts and DMV for being an out of state resident. Mindy promised it was possible then got me the max sentencing after I fired her inadequate ass I got everything I wanted. I would never recommend her to anyone. She is a bully and would call to yell at you. I took a call from her once with my girlfriend in the room and literally Mindy yelled at me for nearly an hour after I kept saying this isn't getting us anywhere. She said at the 10 minute mark, "and I spent another 10 minutes on this case and continued to yell about it" by the end of the conversation which was her just yelling it was an hour later. Also she left voicemails on my mothers phone than had detailed case information exposing my case and not keeping it client attorney privilege. I'm thinking about suing her for how incompetent and inadequate she is at handling cases. She's lazy! read more

Look no further. Mindy is the Real Deal and knows what she is doing. She was straight forward and to the point and was honest from the beginning. She came through when I needed it the most and was available to answer any question or doubt I had. She was referred to by my close friend and it was the best choice I made. I HIGHLY recommend Mindy McQueen as your attorney. Don't waste your time anywhere else. read more

Mindy was professional, direct and utterly no nonsense. She laid out the particulars of my case, navigated me through the labyrinthine legal corridors, and settled my case quickly and much to my satisfaction, even going the extra mile after the courts had closed due to Covid. I highly recommend her. read more

I couldn't have gotten through this without the help and expertise of Mindy. She was there every step of the way and made a tough situation as pleasant as it could be. She is always working for what is in MY best interest and I never felt that I was just another client. She is personable and compassionate and made sure I understood all my options and really takes the time to listen. Her office assistant Renee is a jewel as well. I was in the best, capable, care anyone could ask for. I highly recommend Mindy McQueen. She is fair, competent, understanding, and extremely professional. read more

Got a dui back in 2013, Mindy helped me tremendously. My Judge dropped my case and I avoided the 10 grand fee. I did loose my license for a year since I was 20 but that's the price I had to pay for getting a DUI. Thanks Mindy! read more

Wow, where to begin with Mindy McQueen... My girlfriend was fighting a DUI Case in Ventura and we hired Mindy McQueen to represent her. My girlfriend received a DUI for falling asleep at the wheel while being on a medication that was prescribed to her. My girlfriend called Mindy countless times trying to get ahold of her... When we finally reached Mindy, she not only insulted my girlfriend for being...and this is a quote "a junkie" but ended up doing ZERO for my girlfriend and complained that my girlfriend wouldn't answer her calls - which was absolutely ridiculous, since *I* was making half of the calls to Mindy as well.. $5,000.00 later (that was the FIRST half of the payment Mindy wanted) my girlfriend got the same deal the DA offered her, which was everything she was initially charged with. Mindy, in the end, told her that she got what SHE DESERVED. We had to hire ANOTHER lawyer to fix Mindy's mistakes, but by that point she had filed so much paperwork that threw my girlfriend under the bus that the next lawyers could only do so much. However, they did the best they could and were absolutely amazing. If you're thinking about using Mindy McQueen, PLEASE PLEASE do yourself a favor and choose someone else. I was thoroughly disgusted with her character. She is self-righteous, selfish, pompous, arrogant, and unprofessional and should be stripped of her license. read more

From my personal experience, Mindy is a terrible DUI lawyer. Don't let her fake confidence fool you. Before she got my case, she had talked to me in a very comforting manner (of course made no promises as it's illegal), but made an impressing that the case was in good hands. She told me I had to pay in full before she would start the case, so I did so. Once she got the money, her attitude completely changed! She was so disrespectful and accused me of micro-managing my case, which was not true and I was merely sending her some more evidence in order to provide her with more information (She could just trash those reports, etc. if she didn't need them!). I swear I didn't even call her once a month, and each time I did she talked in a very disrespectful manner and I was feeling like I had to "defend" myself when talking to her, rather than I had hired her to defend my case! She delayed my hearing for about a year, which was so frustrating. Once the court heard the case she told me I had to go jail and cannot convert it to a work-release, and it was not true. I went to the court myself later on and did convert the case to a work-release. Basically, she lied to me. Overll, I realized that not only hiring her had no benefit on m case, but also had many many disadvantages. Terrible attorney. read more

Mindy got my Ventura case dismissed!!! I came to see Mindy for my case for a unique reason. A friend of mine had been in her building for some other reason, happened to go into Mindy's office because my friend needed a key for the building's bathroom, and Mindy was kind enough to lend her the bathroom key even though my friend wasn't a client or in the building to see Mindy. This occurred a few weeks before I was in need of a criminal attorney, and I was inspired by my friend's experience and Mindy's kindness. At my consultation she spent over an hour talking with me about my case. She was up front and very honest about the expectations I should have regarding the outcome of my case. I was arrested for public intox and resisting arrest. She told me that she would fight for me and do all in her power to advocate on my behalf. After I hired her she remained in constant contact with me and eased my worries and concerns. She went to court twice on my behalf, I didn't even have to go. She communicated the results to me right away. The thing that is her greatest asset, in my opinion, is that she knows how to advocate for her clients. She stuck with it and put in extra time to convince the DA to evaluate the case based on her assessment of the circumstances. Other attorneys I have hired wouldn't have worked as hard as she did. I probably would not have gotten the same results Mindy got for me had I hired another. She knows how to talk well and communicate effectively. She put in countless hours in communicating and negotiating with the DA's office. During the entire time she helped me feel positive and helped me complete all that I was asked to do. In the end, Mindy got my case was dismissed. In general, I don't like attorneys and don't trust most to put my interests first. But with Mindy that is different. I saw her put my interests first and fight hard for my case. It has been my experience with this case that you won't be disappointed if you go see Mindy for your case even if the outcome isn't the same as mine. She is the kind of attorney everyone wished they had. read more

I retained Mindy for a DUI I had in 2013. My arrest had career implications and I had my son in the car with me which further complicated things. Mindy immediately took a personal interest in me and my family, and worked diligently to minimize the impact. Mindy knows her stuff. She knows Ventura County DUI law cold. I highly recommend her should you need representation. She's professional, straight to the point, and keeps you in the loop throughout the proceedings. I felt like I knew her personally from our first meeting and she genuinely cared about my case. I've retained her again for my expungement! Thank you Mindy! read more

I hired Mindy to expunge my DUI record. It was not an easy case; we ran into a few hurdles. However, Mindy never gave up and kept me informed constantly on the status. After several tries, she was able to make it happen. Because of her desire to take good care of her clients, Mindy put extra time and effort in my case and never asked for additional fees. I found Mindy through on-line search because the lawyer who had handled my DUI case earlier had not been particularly customer-centric; I was not impressed with his service at all - not much time was spent during our meetings. Therefore, I was very glad that I found Mindy. She was very professional and honest; she took the time to explain to me what can be expected without any sugar coating. Furthermore, Mindy is very knowledgeable about the Ventura County court systems, especially the judges and DAs. Mindy is a great DUI attorney and fights hard for her clients, as well as take good care of them. I would recommend her service to anyone. The low rating reviews do not reflect my experience with Mindy at all. However, everyone has the right to express his or her opinions. Just to be fair, people need to read the good reviews that have been filtered (for some odd reasons) as well, so that they have both sides of the story to make their own judgment. read more

Mindy was referred to me as "One of the best lawyers you can get in Ventura County, and she didn't disappoint at all. She fought for hard for me in a very challenging case. She was professional, courteous, assertive and kept me updated regularly. I was scared about the out come and Mindy tried to assure me, when I was in doubt. I have nothing but respect for her and her skills and would hire her again and see it as a pleasure to reffer her services to others. Mindy McQueen rocks!! Thank you Mindy for all your hard work, My son Thanks you also. SB read more

I made the BEST decision to hire Mindy McQueen after making the worst decision to drive while impaired. I certainly don't know where to begin, so I will just come out and be completely honest with my situation. I made a horrible mistake, and one night of poor judgment led me into a position I never hope to experience again. I was arrested for DUI and put in jail over night. I felt alone, hopeless and incredibly nervous to face the consequences of my actions. I struggled and panicked to look on-line for a lawyer who would represent me in the best light possible. Someone who would really reflect my nature, who I am, and my overall character to the Judge. I didn't want to be considered just another paycheck for a lawyer, I wanted to feel important and not only feel important, know that my likelihood was just as important to someone defending me. After about 4 calls to self proclaimed "as good as it gets" lawyers in the DUI field, god put me in contact with Mindy McQueen. I am a born skeptic and even in this time where I felt vulnerable for anyone to tell me "it's going to be OK", I still had my guard up. When I talked to Mindy and expressed my concerns and specifics of my arrest, it wasn't anything that I was anticipating. She didn't sugar coat anything (which I loved), she was completely level and honest with me and asked many questions in regards to how I ended up in my predicament. I ended up getting off the line with her about 25 minutes later feeling the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. In the coming weeks that followed, I developed a fond attraction to her practice and how she carried herself with me. If you want some big phony lawyer who is going to BS you into thinking your charges are ridiculous, only to take your money and apologize for a poor decision by the judge, then she is not your gal. If you're looking for a person to be honest, and straight forward with her views, and fight with every ounce in her soul, then look no further. I was never under any false pretense that she was a miracle worker, in fact I was well aware that I committed a crime, and in doing so, I had to face the music of consequences to come. I can tell you this, all options were strategically outlined and all effort was a consistently 100%. If you are looking for a lawyer to represent you and you are feeling uneasy about a DUI you just got, I assure you that you're in great hands. Everything about Mindy, her practice, to her assistant were top notch and completely professional. I encourage you to call and have a discussion with her. I did my fair share of calling other "lawyers" and quickly realized that they were not for me. To any and all people who are doubtful, scared, concerned or flat out feeling like your world just came to and end, there's hope...I promise you things will get better as they did for me, and today is another day. Don't let the past predict your future, and always continue to surround yourself with people who genuinely care about you and your best interest. For me, Mindy McQueen was that rock for me, and I couldn't have made it through this vigorous process without her. Many thanks to her and her staff for always being involved and making sure I was OK. read more

Mediocre skill and incredibly arrogant to the point of rudeness. She could have mad skill, and I still wouldn't hire her just because of her "professional" attitude. Don't get sucked in early - you can definitely do better! read more

Do NOT hire her. She's very unprofessional. She might be able to get you a decent deal, but she's beyond rude, disrespectful, ignorant and demeaning. I would never refer anyone to her. She puts herself on this high pedestal, and talks down to her clients who are paying her an arm and a leg for representation. She's just money hungry. She doesn't care about clients as an attorney should. When you're calling her multiple times to get a response, she will then yell at you for bothering her-HELLO, I want answers to my valid questions, being that I am paying you thousands of dollars. I would not waste my time. There's so many other great attorneys out there. I have friends who had a similar situation and went to Bamieh & Erickson and were both represented by Mr. Bamieh and they had a much better outcome, and a much more professional experience. Don't waste your time. read more

Ms. McQueen represented me in a case recently and I could not be happier. Tell you the truth, I was scared to death after my run-in with the arresting officers - I have to be able to drive in my job, HAVE to - but a friend suggested her services and Thank God for that. She took me through the process in a thoroughly professional and caring manner, stood up for me in court and at the end of the day I went from facing ruin to finding myself in a great deal less trouble than I thought possible. We all tell lawyer jokes but let me tell you, when the chips are down you want this woman in your corner. She wasn't the cheapest out there but I've never invested wiser. You could sure do worse but I don't think you could do better - at any price. read more

Most people seriously underestimate how tough Ventura county is on DUI offenses. Mindy is tougher. The result she got in my case was so much better than expected there is no way I could not encourage people who made a stupid mistake to take the first step in fixing it by calling Mindy. You're going to find someone who's work ethic and expertise in her area of specialty is unmatched. I recently sat in on jury selection for a DUI criminal defense trial. All I kept thinking was the defendent would have been ten times better off calling Mindy. I know I'm very glad I did! read more

Mindy represented me on a recent case and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I was facing serious jail time for a DUI but she helped me with understand the process, encouraged me with a program, and managed the court appearances to ensure a good outcome. She was confident and supportive and even friendly. Her presentations in the courtroom went a long way towards getting me a sentence way below what I expected. She was responsive to my calls, never left me hanging and has a great staff. The fees were very reasonable considering the time she invested in me and worth every cent. I highly recommend her for her skill, judgment, and certainly for her experience. read more

I used Mindy for my second DUI knowing how strict Ventura County is I know I needed an attorney. Everyone told me no attorney can help, and these are people who hired one and got nothing for the money they paid. Mindy worked hard and got astonishing results for me. She is professional, answers my calls in a timely manner and definitely knows what she is doing. I give Mindy an A plus plus. Mindy is also very pleasant and easy to speak with. Now I understand why she is a recognized DUI QUEEN in Ventura County. Thanks Mindy so much. read more

Mindy is without a doubt a true professional who delivers what she promises. she truly cares about her clients and will go the extra mile to be there for you. moreover, she brings the human element to the attorney-client relationship. for example, when i was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2015, she researched the disease and would call me at night after being in court all day to find out how i was doing. unbelievable, i was impressed!! more importantly she wins her cases. read more

I hired Mindy to represent me in a DUI case. From the beginning she was compassionate and took a personal interest in not only my case but in me as well. I was always able to reach her via phone and email with any and all questions and concerns that I had and she explained things honestly and in a way that I was able to understand. Her vast knowledge of the system, specifically Ventura County and her relationships with other players in said system are invaluable. With her assistance I was able to retain my driver's license, and obtained the best possible outcome. I HIGHLY recommend Mindy, she is a life saver. In a time that was already incredibly stressful and frightening, Mindy navigated the waters for me and I couldn't be more grateful. read more

From the beginning to end of my DUI legal proceedings attorney Mindy McQueen kept me well informed and fought for the best possible outcome for me. Even after several years had passed since my DUI case Mindy remembered the details of my case when I asked her about expungement procedures. Mindy got my DUI expunged from my record even after getting resistance from the Judges in Ventura county, not an easy thing to do. I would recommend Mindy to anyone in need of legal services related to a DUI. read more

I personally had an AWESOME EXPERENCE with Mindy, she knows the business and the in and out of Ventura County. I believe that with any other attorney I would be looking at serious jail time and long term license suspensions. I am a multiple offender on DUI's and received very light penalties (most were dropped or suspended by the judge) by using Mindy's expertise with the Ventura Co. Court system I continue to maintain my lifestyle and career path. Mindy was the one and only choice for me. read more

I retained mindy for a dui , in February and did a fantastic job and got me a full acquittal...I kept my DL the entire time... I highly recommend Her!! read more
