Posted by Andrew | October 14, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Incredible divorce lawyer

Mitch was my attorney for a very complicated divorce by trial with a heavy focus on custody of children. Mitch was the third attorney I turned to during this 2 year divorce because the case was going off the rails. The first two attorneys did little to advocate for me and my children and essentially ...just took up my limited funds. Mitch was a savior. He was the first attorney who truly advocated for my children. Every step was by the book, he was methodical and used researched case law at every turn to solidify our petitions. Divorce is a scary and expensive chapter of your life. If you're looking for an attorney who will dig into your case and protect you, even if it is from your own emotions, you couldn't find a better attorney than Mitch Skandalakis. Talk to Mitch if you want an attorney who does not charge you $65 every time he answers simple questions to stay on top of your case. My previous attorneys would do nothing on my case and then charge me $1,000 for a few phone calls which resulted in very little productivity. I was very worried about making yet another change in attorneys since Mitch was the 3rd to take on my case but it was the best decision I made in the whole process. It was evident the judge had great respect for Mitch and his earnest approach to the law. We had a very fair outcome to the trial and Mitch has become essential in the time since the final decree in keeping me from being pulled back into court for every dispute that arises. I've referred several divorce cases to Mitch and he has proved over and over again he is an excellent client advocate. I give Mitch my highest recommendation. If you were like me, up against a mountain, get in touch with Mitch.

Highly Recommend

Mr. Skandalakis successfully represented us as plaintiffs in a civil suit against a construction firm. He was highly responsive to our questions, kept us informed during the process and charged a reasonable fee. His work resulted in a winning a settlement.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2005.

Disbarment issued in GA, 2005

updated on 05/20/2019

This is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the Georgia State Bar to understand the reasons for this disbarment.

Demetrios’s comment:

“I was in politics from 1992-1998. I was investigated for corruption, but none was found. I did plead guilty to a false statement which led to my disbarment. Since that time I re-built my life by joining Waffle House, Inc. and have risen to the level of VP of Internal Investigations and Food Safety Advocacy. Reinstated - 2013”
