Mitchell L Mullen

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.

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!

My wife and I needed an attorney to represent us with a real estate purchase and was referred to Mitchell by a friend. Was hoping for a routine purchase experience but had a lot of obstacles along the way and Mitchell was the only party (between our realtor, the seller's realtor, and various third pa...rties) that consistently gave us good advice and to whom we thought best had our interests at heart. Would definitely recommend retaining a lawyer for a real estate purchase and would recommend Mitchell's firm again for this purpose.

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.

I was referred to Mitchell Mullen for a prenuptial agreement and review. He knows the law, especially NJ law, inside and out and I was very comfortable with his explanation and recommendations. I also really liked the friendliness of his staff. Overall very positive experience. Would use him again if... needed.
