An Outstanding Advocate for my Son

I hired Mitch McKinney to represent my son in a legal matter early in 2018. Mitch did an excellent job explaining our options and was very clear in laying out the expectations for what our best outcome would be as well as what alternative outcomes may occur. Mitch connected with my son and explained ...to him specifically what he needed to do to assist in gaining the desired outcome. Mitch's communication and follow up was excellent and he was always available for questions and follow up throughout the entire process. I would hire Mitch again in a minute and would recommend him to anyone who asked me for a solid attorney.

Great Attorney!

After an uncontested divorce disaster, Mitch helped me put an end to the property dispute. He is very knowledgeable and I would recommend him to friends and family (and I have). The level of communication from Mitch and Selena was outstanding. Always answering/explaining any questions or concerns I ...may have had. We ultimately settled out of court, but I was never pushed into a settlement and only did so after Mitch negotiated terms I was comfortable with. I will continue to use Mitch for future legal matters.

Very Pleased

The courtroom is definitely where Mitchell McKinney shines. The questions he asked in court helped me provide the Judge with all the information he needed to make his decision. Mr. McKinney did such a fantastic job at getting all the facts known while in court that the Judge granted more than I’d hop...e for. He did a great job and would highly recommend him.

Excellent choice

After several reputable people in the Alpharetta area recommended him, I met with Mitch McKinnney to see if he would be a good match to represent me due to being sued for divorce. When we met, I found him to be reponsive to my desires to be ethical, yet tough in representing me. Mitch understood my... needs and did an excellent job in representing me. He proved to know the law and guided me through the legal process. He also was tough in protecting me and did not let me be taken advantage by the opposing counsel. He did this in such an ethical way that my results were better than expected. Mitch McKinney would be an excellent choice to handle a legal situation you may face.

Experienced, Dedicated and Driven for Results

Mr. McKinney has the experience, knowledge and dedication to understand the need to gather all information and data to represent one in court. He recently defended me in a Contempt of Marriage case and all 3 charges were dismissed. His ability to decipher information, logically arrange the evidence ...and professionally present the case was amazing.
