About Mitchell
Practice areas
- Criminal defense: 50%
I am Certified as a Criminal Trial Attorney by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Criminal Trial Attorney. I have been successfully defending clients in New Jersey and federal courts for over 25 years. I now defend clients in New York.
38 years, 2,000 cases
- DUI and DWI: 40%
I have successfully defended clients charged with DWI in New Jersey for voer 25 years. I now do the same in New York. Sucessful defense requires knwing the law, the science of alcohol intoxication, and how these new breath test computers work, not simply the law.
38 years, 1,000 cases
- Unknown: 5%
- Immigration: 5%
I practice at the intersection of criminal law and immigration. I have vacated convictions and helped immigrants avoid criminal pernalites. Knowledge of immigration law is esssential.
12 years, 10 cases
