This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Employment Matter

I retained Attorney Andrellos Mitchell for an employment matter involving disability accommodation. Mr. Mitchell was prompt, responsive, and clear in all communications. He explained his fees and retainer terms up front and in plain language, with no confusion or surprise. Based solely on the info...rmation I provided, Mr. Mitchell acted quickly and aggressively and secured an ADA accommodation letter on my behalf. His representation was focused, strategic, and effective. I found Mr. Mitchell to be professional, ethical, and strongly committed to protecting his clients’ interests. I would strongly encourage employees—especially those facing workplace disability or accommodation issues—to contact Mr. Mitchell before a termination occurs, not after. I would retain him again without hesitation.

Services rendered

My lawyer, Andrellos Mitchell, is an outstanding litigation attorney. He represented me in a real estate case involving my condominium where the Condo Association and its Management Company breached their contractual obligations after a fire damaged my unit. The defendants hired very large law firms.... They tried to get the case dismissed, but were unsuccessful. Mr. Mitchell is ethical, knowledgeable, and aggressive in the litigation process. He fights hard for his clients, but he isn't cheap. In the legal profession, you get what you pay for. While Mr. Mitchell does not make any guarantees of success, he does promise to give you his best efforts and seek a positive outcome for you. All he asks in return is that you cooperate with him, assist him with your case, and pay your bill.

Educator

Mary A. Mr. Mitchell is an excellent employment lawyer. Ignore the fake negative reviews. Mr. Mitchell was hired for my employment case in state government. He responded quickly. We met for a business lunch. He is very articulate and thorough in his interview and review of your documents. He quick...ly contacted my employer in writing and is handling the matter. I have not had any more harassment at my job to date. In fact, my employer has tried to offer me a promotion. For Your Information (FYI): The negative reviews are from fake clients. 1. Real clients don’t make “inquiries” when they contact a lawyer. That’s not how the legal business works. 2. Real clients pay money for a consultation fee to meet with the lawyer. 3. Real clients sign a retainer agreement and pay a retainer fee for representation. 4. Fake/Broke clients don’t want to pay for legal services. 5. Google and some other sites allow anyone to make reviews without proof that the person actually hired the lawyer. So the sites can’t be trusted. 6. Fake reviewers are trying to blackmail my lawyer for money. Not going to happen. 7. Don’t believe the fake reviews, Mr. Mitchell is a great lawyer!

Courageous

Mr. Mitchell took on my case which was against Howard University Graduate School. He was able to present a position strong enough to minimize the politically motivated and destructive bullying and threats from administrators meant to disqualify me thus allowing me to complete my program.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jul 07

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Mitchell is an experienced trial attorney. He represented a client in a legal separation case, in which I was the opposing counsel. He always spoke in a clear and articulate manner before the court. He was smart, diligent, and possessed all of the qualities that I felt a client would want in an attorney. I would recommend him."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I entrusted a friend, who is also my client for another matter, to Andrellos Mitchell in a highly contentious family law case. She needed an aggressive and passionate attorney who would vigorously represent and counsel her, placing her mind at ease that the outcome would be the very best possible."

Guardianship lawyer | Jul 28

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I am an attorney practicing in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area practicing in the elder law field. One particular attorney I have had the pleasure of working with on a recent Guardianship case was Andrellos Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell was conscientious, meticulous, competent and aggressive in the zealous advocacy of his client. I would recommend Mr. Mitchell to anyone looking for a competent and assertive advocate. Mr. Mitchell is a versatile attorney and handles a wide variety of cases. Attorney Mitchell has a General Law Practice (Civil & Criminal Matters). However, his practice focuses on Civil Litigation, Government Agencies, Bankruptcy, Employment, Real Estate, Landlord & Tenant Matters, Education, Personal Injury, Family Law (Divorce, Civil Protection Orders, Custody and Child Support) Automobile Accident, Probate Matters, and Insurance Law, etc. I strongly recommend Mr. Mitchell for your legal needs: He will guide you through the legal process from start to finish."
