Second Time Working With Mr. Mullen

Due to the success I had the first time with Mr. Mullen, I had no doubt I would hire him when I needed help again. He reviewed the initial motion filed against me and attempted to work with the plaintiff to avoid going to court in order to keep my fees lower. Unfortunately, the plaintiff insisted on ...going to court and attempting to recoup their attorney preparation fees. When we got the judge's tentative ruling, he quickly worked with the plaintiff to come to an agreement. He let me know what was in my best interests and how to proceed. It didn't take long for him to work out an excellent deal, and we were out of there quickly without having to stand before the judge, which reduced my fees even more. His countermotion also convinced the judge it was unjust for me to pay the opposing attorney fees. In the end, I basically got what I wanted, saved about $500, and the plaintiff left no better than when they had arrived.

Amazing Lawyer

I hired Mitch Mullen for a landlord/tenant case. WOW! Mitch was always prepared and ready to go. Always showed up on time to court and keeps in contact with you if he is running late. Mitch is very easy to speak to and polite. He always is available to speak to you if you need him. Of course I won my... case thanks to him! Also the ladies in the office are amazing! They are very polite and professional. Thank you very much for all your help. I am so happy with everything that I hired him again to draw up a lease for my new tenant.

A waste of time and money

When you talk to him on the phone he'll tell you exactly what you want to hear however once you hire him for family law matters that all changes. The drafts for the certification and motion will have numerous mistakes and inaccuracies, after you review it and inform them of all the mistakes and inac...curacies they'll fix them, charge you for their mistakes and inaccuracies then file a motion and certification with different mistakes and inaccuracies. If you ask him to get this or that information from the other parent he'll say what for it's not needed they'll have to provide it in court guess it doesn't make sense to have as much information as possible before court. According to the billing he's the one that did all of the drafts,filed motions and certifications. The wording and specific dates he included actually hurt certain parts of the motion, that's not only my opinion but it was verified by quite a few other Lawyers. Perhaps he couldn't see a lot of $$$ signs with my case and therefore decided not to work as hard. Naturally each case is different but when you hire an Attorney they're supposed to work as hard as they can for their client not just whatever is quickest and easiest.

Sneaky and poor work product

Charges time for paralegal's mistakes and errors. Sneaky initial contract and unreasonable to discuss matters with. DEFINITE DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Definitely not recommended

Mr. Mullen seems very kind and helpful as well as knowledgeable in the initial meeting but later on everything turns up to be only ilusiones documents will always have errors of basic information (that you have already provided again and again) this is to ensure that they can charge you multiple tim...es for corrections.Expect to be charged for each call you make just for them to solve mistake that they initial made. you will then be charged for a review and sent the document for approval. Expect errors that should not be there like the dates of your cases, the docket # , kids names (all basic info you provide when you agree to contract with the attorney) you will then be charged to correct these errors and also charged for another review. Do not believe anything he tells you about what you can reasonably expect to receive in support, how much he will charge you, or how long anything will take. You can expect him to make many errors, not file motions in the time frame he says he will,and do very little to actually assist you with your needs. And races sky high your bill and doesn't even explain it for you. Doesn't truly let you know that with all his years of experience doesn't know anything of family case matters.

Experience

Rating:  9.3 (Superb)

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”
