Amazing attorney

Evelyn did a wonderful job as my defense attorney! She kept me informed about the process and guided me every step of the way. If I had a question or concern, she was there to answer it and reassure me. Her knowledge of the law and impressive skills in the courtroom are beyond compare. Thanks to ...Evelyn, we won and my case was dismissed. I appreciate everything she did to help me. I can tell she really cares about her clients and I highly recommend her!

Excellent Representation

Ms. Evelyn Mitchell is the prototype of what a good lawyer is. She is passionate, knowledgeable and efficient. A good lawyer is not only knowledgeable of the law but has the emotional intelligence and compassion to truly be there for their client and Ms. Mitchel does just that. She went above and bey...ond to help me win what seemed like a hopeless case. Back in October 2015 I was charged with 9 different charges, 5 felonies and 4 misdemeanors. The reason why the officer felt the need to write down so many different charges for the alleged victim is still beyond me but in hindsight it seems like everything did happen for a reason. Though at the time it seemed like an impossible case to win Ms. Mitchell went above and beyond to make sure I was found not guilty in a jury trial. Not only was she able to get most of my charges dismissed, as well as helping me be found innocent, she also took on my expungement which was another hurdle to go through. I could honesty write a book of the past two years because that's how bizarre everything was but with the help of Ms. Mitchell, that book has an amazing ending that wowed my family and friends. Hiring her is the best thing anyone can do.

Outstanding Professionalism

Evelyn represented my family in April of 2017. This was our first experience like this and Evelyn as our lawyer greatly reduced our stress. She answered questions promptly; including late night emails. She was diligent in making sure she knew every aspect and angle of our case; ensuring that we under...stood the process each step of the way. When last minute plaintiff “strategies” were thrown at us she handled it swiftly and with an outstanding level of professional competence. She was also thorough in her communication with our witnesses. Not only would we use Evelyn again to represent us, we highly recommend her.

An Excellent and Powerful Attorney

I hired Ms. Mitchell in December, 2016 to represent me after my ex wife had me arrested on a protective order violation. The case involved a temporary p.o. that was issued in civil court while my ex was attempting to have a civil protective order issued against me. This order was dismissed in court, ...but she filed a complaint against me when I posted a note regarding custody of our children on a shared Google Calendar. While another attorney in her firm helped me with the initial arrest, Ms. Mitchell was immediately in touch with me. After the initial consultation at which point she received the particulars of the case, she devised a plan for the defense. Not once did she deviate from that plan. She understood the particulars of the case AND the history between myself and the complainant. Every step of the way, she was confident and secure in her knowledge of the case and was reassuring in the process while keeping me abreast of all possible outcomes. In the end, her professionalism, knowledge and toughness succeeded in getting the case dismissed. I highly recommend Ms. Evelyn Mitchell as an attorney. She has a no nonsense approach, is tough as nails and fights for her clients and has a thorough understanding of the law and of the procedures of the justice system. Her pedigree is impeccable, as well, and I expect that she will accomplish great things beyond her legal career.
