Does not advocate well

Don’t feel like he listens much to me about my divorce case. I feel constantly disregarded and belittled. Sometimes I feel like he just listened to whatever the opposing attorney says. You may have a better experience than me depending on your case, however.

Very adversarial divorce case

Mitchell represented me in a very adversarial and complicated divorce case in the Rockland county Supreme Court Mitchell fought against the so called “number one attorney “ in Rockland county. Mitchell was knowledgeable and experienced and stood his ground without intimidation and with much respe...ct from the judge. If you are looking for an attorney that’s Honest, experienced,knowledgeable,fair and most importantly responds to your concerns quickly. Mitchell is your answer Good luck to all

Three closings, all easy!

I hired Mitch for three different closings. He is honest and very helpful. Always available when I had a question, throughout the entire process. Would hire again and again!
