Mitchell joined Tannehill Carmean after twenty two years in “big law firm” practice where he represented insurance companies, international corporations and governmental entities. He learned how big business and insurance companies plays the game, and now he is on the side of real people who need a lawyer to fight for them. Mitchell focuses 100% of his time now helping individuals and small, mom-and-pop, businesses. An Eagle Scout, Mitchell strives to practice the oath he learned early in life – “On my honor, I will do my best to help other people at all times.” He joined Tannehill Carmean because the firm was built on helping the people of Ole Miss, Lafayette County and North Mississippi.

Mitchell practicies personal injury law, criminal law and family law. Mitchell has tried cases all across North Mississippi and is AV Preeminent® Rated by Martindale-Hubbell, rated 10.0 Superb by AVVO, has been repeatedly listed in the U.S. News and World Reports list of Best Lawyers in Insurance Litigation and is also a Mid-South Super Lawyer.

Man of Integrity
Mitchell is an excellent lawyer, but most importantly a great person. I knew from our very first conversation that he was a man of integrity. He worked hard for my husband to get his visitation rights for his son. He walked with us through the entire process, kept us informed, quick to respond, knowledgeable, and did his best to make the whole process as smooth as possible. We honestly could never thank him enough for what he has done for our family.

Best attorney around!
Mitchell helped me on a child custody matter that went to court. He was great in the courtroom and put my ex-spouse in the hot seat. We won the matter and it ended up being a good experience. I cannot recommend Mitchell enough to take your case to court.

The best!
I hired Mitchell after a bad experience with my 1st divorce lawyer. It was the best decision I could have made. Mitchell is an honest and ethical professional who goes the extra mile for his clients. I felt like he advocated for my children like he would have for his own. He was always very responsive and made me feel comfortable during this terrible experience. I now have a lawyer I can trust. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney in Oxford!

Client
I was recommended to Mitchell by a friend who had previously used his legal services (successfully I might add). I was immediately impressed with his professionalism and the way he helped me to understand the complex lawyer jargon. He laid out everything as it would happen, so I never had questions about what would happen next. As he prepared my case he was very thorough and strategic in his planning. By the time we got to court I knew I was in great hands. He laid out the facts in expert fashion and I never had any doubt to the outcome. We won our case! Hopefully I never have to hire another lawyer, but if I did I would immediately call Mitchell. I would highly recommend him to anyone in MS that is looking for a great lawyer

FANTASTIC LAWYER
When you don’t live in Oxford, it is hard to know which lawyers there are serious about helping their clients. My decision to rely on Mitchell was one of the best decisions I have ever made. If you need an Oxford lawyer, call Mitchell, you will be glad you did.

Outstanding Lawyer
Mitchell did a fantastic job for me when I was facing criminal charges. He always answered my calls, responded to my emails, and put my mind at ease. He was diligent at getting my case resolved very quickly. I would highly recommend Mitchell for all criminal cases.

Excellent
If I could rate this more than a 5 I would definitely do it. Mitchell helped my family through a terrible time involving serious criminal charges. He never missed a phone call or email. He spent all the time I wanted explaining things and helping me and my family. He works hard and is kind to his clients.

Rental Matter
Mitch provided timely insight regarding a rental matter I was working to resolve. He was well-versed in the legal paths I could pursue with respect to eviction and recouping overdue rent, and he shared a fair-minded assessment of what approach would most likely lead to success given the facts he was aware of. Glad to be put in touch with him!

Highly Recommend
“Mitchell Driskell went above and beyond to fight for me and my family from the very beginning until the litigation process was over. I knew from our very first conversation that we were in the best hands. He is trustworthy and honest, and I cannot thank him enough for all of the hard work he put into every aspect of my case. He was always there any time I had any questions or concerns. During the trial, I couldn’t believe how Mr. Driskell anticipated and was prepared for everything thrown his way. I am truly grateful.”

Expert
Mitchell Driskell has helped several members of my family in a multitude of situations. I trust him on so many levels. Mr. Driskell is very knowledgable, and I was honestly impressed by his expertise. Mr. Driskell helped me personally in litigation. He helped me with a dispute arising out of property damage and loss to my business. To say I was pleased is an understatement. As I have already recommended him to my close family, I would most certainly recommend him to anyone in need of counsel.

I recommend Mitchell to anyone. He knows the law, but more importantly he knows how to treat clients. He kept me informed every step of the way. He was always responsive and accessible.

North Mississippi's Best Divorce Attorney
Mr Driskell was retained to help me navigate my divorce. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful through the entire process. He was easy to access when I had a question or concern and he also showed the utmost respect and dignity in his job. Mr Driskell was very understanding of my situation and provided some moral support to get me through the tough time. He knows his divorce/settlement/custody laws and will fight for your rights. My child was the most important factor in my divorce and he took extra concern to make sure the custody arrangement was fair. He showed compassion and genuine care during my difficult time. Anytime I needed something, whether it was a question, a concern, a though, or a shoulder to cry on, he was there. He was very patient and understanding.
