Awesome lawyer. Absolutely I would recommend and have recommended him. He did a great job. Told me the truth, weather I liked it or not. He was on top of things and the most important answered the phone even late at night. Thank you Mitch.

"Mitch is a stellar attorney. He's a zealous courtroom advocate, and one of the hardest working attorneys I've met. He's respected throughout the entire state for his DUI expertise, and any lawyer who is serious about DUI defense is grateful to Mitch for everything he does to organize the annual DUI seminar, "Blood, Breath & Tears." I would highly recommend hiring Mitch if you need help with a criminal case."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
