Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I moved to Huntsville in 2013 and met Mitch through a mutual friend. He has a good reputation in the legal community here, and he has a solid background with many years of experience. He is competent in a variety of legal areas, and if he cannot help you, he will know who can. I consider him both a colleague and a friend, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing legal advice or representation.
