Hired Attorney Vicki Francois Esq.

I’ve used three other lawyers in the Roanoke area and Vicky is by far the most tenacious!! She does her homework and knows how to find the information she doesn’t know! I would ABSOLUTELY HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone!! Working with her was a pleasure under difficult circumstances!! Her staff is extremely professional and most helpful and I was always able to reach someone in the office ALWAYS!! Or they would call me right back. Definitely felt that this law firm was looking out for my interests.

I would highly recommend Attorney Vicki Francois. She was very honest and helpful. She reviewed our case, kept us informed and while she could not take it on at this time, she recommended another attorney to us. I very much appreciated and trusted her recommendations.

Vicki is the absolute best! She genuinely cares about her clients and she goes above and beyond. She was my lifeline throughout the entire time during my divorce and my biggest source of encouragement. She and her assistant Barb are truly beautiful people inside and out and their knowledge and experience coupled with compassion and understanding goes beyond anything I could have imagined. Having Vicki in my corner during a very traumatic time in my life is something I will always be grateful for.

Vicki is hands down one of the best attorneys I have met. I knew from the first day I met her she was dedicated and determined. She got on her computer and went right to work. It’s been a long battle trying to keep my family safe and having the feeling like no one cares. It;s so nice to finally feel heard and to know that Vicki will fight like hell for my family, it has given me a sense of relief and peace of mind. I am so thankful I hired her, and I have no doubt she will continue to go to battle for my family, because she truly does care. I’d recommend her to anyone who is in need of a top-notch attorney and needs someone who definitely has your best interest at heart. She is definitely one of the best and you won’t regret hiring her.

My husband and I have worked closely with Wiese Law Firm for several years and they have been nothing but professional and helpful along the way. I highly recommend them for your family law needs. I can’t say enough positive things about this law firm! Although this had been a very long custody case Vicki and Barb have both remained dedicated and engaged along the way. We put our faith into Vicki and she has proven to be the best choice for our family throughout this entire process.

Hired Attorney Vicki Francois Esq.

Vicki and Barb were amazing throughout my divorce. Vicki will not waste your time/money with pointless meetings or calls, but she will show up for court prepared and organized. She made my spouse's attorney look incompetent and unprepared when she walked in with a binder for testimony with color-coded tabs for each section that we covered. Vicki was able to find a case law that got my foot in the door in a court system that otherwise would have refused to hear my case and continued to let my financially dominant ex continue to exert power and control through financial manipulation. But mainly, Vicki and Barb truly care about you on a human level and will treat your case with care and compassion. The family you created being legal broke apart is NEVER an easy thing but I am sure that having Vicki and Barb's support made it so much better than it otherwise would have been. Thank you!

Hired Attorney Vicki Francois Esq.

I cannot express how extremely happy I was to have Vicki Francios as my lawyer during a very long 2+ year custody and child support battle. Vicki was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she explained everything to me with extreme detail and on a level that I would understand. I never felt rushed in a meeting or on the phone when discussing the details and strategies of my case. Vicki answered every question I had and provided reasoning behind them. However, the main thing that I was overly thankful for was Vicki’s compassion, caring, and concern for not only my life, but my child’s during this difficult time. She put my child’s safety and care above all. Vicki understands these situations are difficult and she does everything to protect her clients. She truly cares for her clients. Vicki was not only my lawyer, she was my friend through all this. I highly recommend retaining her for any legal need.

Hired Attorney Vicki Francois Esq.

Going through a divorce after 31 years is one of the hardest things I have done. Vicki and Barb guided me though the entire process, looked after my best interest. I had to go to court and it was obvious that Vicki knows what she is doing. We won the case!!! She is the best and I highly recommend her.

Vicki Francois is a good, solid, experienced lawyer. She and her assistant Barbara are professional and knowledgeable. They successfully stuck with me through a several years long case that had to be reopened.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
