About Mitchell
Biography
I strive to ensure that my clients understand the details of their case. The number one complaint I get from clients who have had other attorneys represent them in the past is that they took some action on their case, but have no idea why. I want my clients to be informed so that they can make the appropriate decisions on their case.
As a result of my clients understanding, they are better able to play an active role in their defense. Couple the client's understanding and participation with my legal knowledge and together, we get favorable results.

Really Doesn't Care
I hired Mr. Wood to represent my son. He did not return phone calls, he did not show up to court, my son spent extra days in jail because he over books himself. He did not notify you of what was going on and never seemed to care.
