Child Support case / family law

I hired Mitch to handle an extremely difficult child support case in New Jersey for arrears that dated back to over 5 years ago and wasn’t closed out when the child turned 18; however Mitch and his team handled it effectively despite the delays due to covid and the court house. In the end I got the... result I was hoping for with affordable charges. I confidently recommend this attorney for family law issues and disregard the negative reviews from unknown people.

Fees High, But Gets Things Done

I retained attorney Mullen to represent me for a child support case I had pinned against me. He did a great job and although I might not agree with his fees like $90 phone calls for only a few minutes, I believe that he is still a great lawyer. Mitch cares about his clients to the fullest degree, he ...attempted to give me some of the retainer back of the $750 I placed in full from the start, but its understandable that it was all used. I ended up having to owe $100 on top of the retainer from having the case dismissed, but with a simple phone call to Mitch, half was taken off. I do not think he is a bad guy, I just believe that he is a firm believer that business is business

Consent custody order

Mitch was very accommodating to my busy lifestyle. He was understanding to my situation and handled the process with grace and fact. He is fair when it comes to price and his office staff is friendly and smart. I would definitely use him for other services if I need.

technically competent and very honest

Mitch Mullen has got to be one of the best divorce lawyers in NJ. My case was complicated. I went through three other lawyers. I dropped the three other lawyers because they either overbilled, didn't get back to me or were just incompetent. Mr. Mullen somehow navigated my litigious wife's lawyer,... helped to get a baseless Final Restraining Order dismissed and charged me much less than everyone else. Mr. Mullen is technically competent and very honest. I think Mr. Mullen also does a good job because he has paralegals which do all the admin work. So there's never a problem with scheduling, fees or reaching Mr. Mullen for an update on your case.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Admonition issued in NJ, 2015

updated on 08/07/2015

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Mitchell’s comment:

“This admonition was a result of my contacting a witness of the opposing party via email because he was threatening my client. It turns out the witness was represented and I should have emailed the attorney not the witness”
