Posted by Nydia | August 9, 2018 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Highly recommend

I worked as opposing counsel with David on a contested divorce and custody case, and I respected his professional, yet zealous approach. I have also received good advice and guidance from him on various matters. He comes to mind when I need to refer clients for family law matters, and I feel confiden...t that he will provide great representation for them.

Outstanding, supportive and knowledgeable attorney

Deciding to file for a divorce from my husband after 25 years of marriage was very difficult and Mr. Mitchell was supportive, knowledgeable and understood the challenges I faced. He worked with a forensic accountant and discovered businesses that my now ex-husband had hidden from me, all of which he ...presented in my divorce hearing, I will be forever grateful to Mr. Mitchell for his hard work and dedication, as it protected my children's future as well as mine.

Professional

What a relief! We had to change lawyers half way in our case. Meeting Mr. Mitchell felt like a rescue for us. He handled the case professionally and comfortably. He even has a listening quality, which is very rare for lawyers.

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.
