About Mitchell
Biography
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.
