Mitchell L Mullen

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.

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

If you want an attorney who overcharges you and provides no intuitive counsel this guy is your man. I hired him for a child support case and was told it would cost me 1500 to 2000 tops. He ended up charging me 5000. Hundreds of dollars for two minute phone calls and many other questionable charges on... the billing statements. I ended up taking him to arbitration to challenge his fraudulent billing. Although he was friends with the attorneys at arbitration one of them still ruled in my favor seeing the obvious extortion. The other two ruled in his favor once they got done checking on each other's kids and families. Before the arbitration he asked me to take down the negative comment I posted on here about him, problem was I made no post. There was obviously another person he did the same to who posted a review. I wish I did post it because he said he would forgive the balance of what I "owed" him if I took it down. Once I said I couldn't because it wasn't me he went forward with the arbitration in order to get every dime that he did not earn. He has since deleted his AVVO account, probably trying to avoid the many people calling him out for who he is! This guy was constantly missing key points about my case and provided no guidance at all. I basically paid him to stand in a courtroom next to me. My case would have been won by any average attorney with a heartbeat. He will sell you the world in the consult and completely disappoint you in the end and you will have to pay him as I did. DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE!!! You've been warned!

I wish I read reviews prior to hiring him . There are certainly enough reviews indicating the same ongoing issue that I myself experienced . Being charged for mistakes, constant over charging billing above and beyond the initial retainer , and not going through with the actual reason you paid the ret...ainer to begin with . I basically wasted thousands upon thousands before saying enough no more. He was retained for 2,500 for child support post divorce. My ex would not turn in his tax returns etc and Mr Mullen contined from Oct to February to utilize my money sending letters to his lawyer who basically ignored him and finding reasons not to file a motion ( which he was hired to do ) finally in February I had no choice but to drop the case - out of funds to float Mr Mullen. He found every reason to bill me and every reason to NOT file the motion I should have had . He then billed me a huge sum of money for glancing at a contract , almost 1,000. Another attorney I hired billed me 1/4 of what he did and took care of all my issues. Do not expect him to resolve issues and expect huge bills with nothing resolved. I do not in anyway shape or form reccomend this lawyer and wish I took the time to read these reviews prior to hiring / retaining .
