Tamara A. Mitchel

I am a father, and a professional, who got divorced when my children were young. Ms. Mitchel has provided excellent legal services and advice, with dedication throughout the process--including negotiating a reasonable divorce settlement, which was in the best interests for my children and me. Ms. ...Mitchel also successfully litigated to conclusion the prevention of my ex-wife's action for relocating my children out-of-state. Ms. Mitchel has been successful in protecting my rights and relationship with my children in a challenging custody situation. Steve

Tamara guided me through a very long and difficult divorce. She was always the voice of reason in my case. She is extremely honest and straightforward and tells it like it is. Tamara has excellent instincts and was great at anticipating what would happen next. She was also very compassionate and ...a terrific advocate for me in court. Tamara fought hard (and was successful) in preserving marital assets during the divorce proceeding. Her excellent reputation in the industry is well deserved. I was glad to have Tamara represent me.

I came to Tamara Mitchel broken and afraid. I was a mother of two children both under the age of 2 years old. I did not want to go through a divorce, but had no choice. For years Tamara tried to help us reach a mutual decision about the custody of our children. She was experienced, patient and ethica...l. She did not push a trial. Unfortunately, we couldn’t reach an agreement about custody and had to go through a grueling two- week custody trial. Before going to trial, I had concerns about child custody, spousal maintenance, child support, who gets to live in the house, and a variety of other issues that can make a mother’s life extremely difficult and stressful. Tamara addressed each and every one of my concerns and was very knowledgeable with all issues that people face in divorce. She knows family law inside and out. She was sensitive to my needs and clearly understood that my children weren’t assets to be divided. Like me, she always put the concerns of my children first. During the trial, she excelled in the courtroom where she’s well known and respected. She’s assertive and works tirelessly. Whether we were on the phone, in her office, or in the courtroom, Tamara was always prepared. As a result, she helped me to get the custody deal I wanted; which was the most important part to me. I was given sole legal and physical custody of my two young children. I also was able to get to a financial settlement that I deserved. I highly recommend Tamara Mitchel without hesitation. She has truly made a difference in my family’s life.

Tamara guided me through a very difficult divorce, custody and relocation and provided excellent legal advice and services along with compassionate care. With her expert knowledge and steadfast dedication, she was able to successfully settle my case so my children and I could move on. I have dealt ...with attorneys before and after her and have to say she is the best!

I am more than happy to submit a glowing review of my experience with Tamara Mitchel as my council in a divorce proceeding. In working with Tamara I was struck by the following: 1) her fierce intelligence, 2) her prodigious experience in matrimonial and family law, 3) her genuine interest in me, ...what kind of person I was, and how I felt in my heart about handling the situation at hand, 4) her own love of family, 5) her considerable involvement in community service and teaching, and 6) her training at Julliard and stint as a professional opera soloist (how cool)! Tamara worked very carefully with me to do things in a way I could live with. She helped me put my children first. She helped me protect my interests. In short, she helped me to maintain the level of dignity and fairness I was seeking, without allowing me to be taken advantage of in any way. She was my advocate in the best and truest sense. As time goes by I find myself increasingly satisfied with the arrangement that she championed on my behalf (how many divorcee’s can say that?!). I think she is an ace at what she does. And I would recommend her to others without hesitation. Thomas
