Mindy L. Hitchcock

Because my spouse of over 40 +years filed for divorce, I required the services of a lawyer specializing in Domestic Relations Law who was compassionate, sensitive, understanding and willing to learn, and appreciate the nuances and complexities of my less than ordinary circumstances together with the courage to venture into a new frontier of Family Law. After interviewing several well-respected Family Law attorneys, and even one that was a former head of the Michigan BAR, Family Law Section, I chose Ms Hitchcock, because, aside from her excellent reputation, innate professionalism, and the fact she is a mediator, she possessed a warm, engaging, compassionate understanding and acceptance of me as a LGBT person, and expressed the interest to learn more about our community and respectfully represent and advocate for my, and in turn, our collective interests. Ms. Hitchcock, also possesses the skill, understanding and diplomatic knowledge and acumen to work with opposing counsel to seek out a fair and equitable settlement for both parties. I highly recommend Attorney Hitchcock to anyone seeking professional legal representation in a domestic relations matter and invite members of the LGBT community to consider her as your attorney to handle your Family Law concerns including adoptions.

Mindy has been my attorney throughout a very nasty custody battle and she has been great throughout. When my case began, I felt defeated. It seemed as if the deck was stacked against me being a single dad. My child's mother wasn't allowing me to see my child at all. Mindy helped me tremendously through this uphill battle and I now spend nearly equal time with my child. It wasn't easy and I know it wasn't fun, but Mindy was vigilant in making sure that I got what any parent SHOULD have. She dealt with opposing counsel that was underhanded and scheming and still came out on top. She has been easy to talk to from the beginning and has been great about keeping me updated on my case and getting back to me quickly when I've had problems. She is a fantastic attorney and a great person. I'm sure a lot of lawyers will say that they truly CARE for their clients; but Mindy doesn't just say it. She means it. She's given me what I would have been denied otherwise: A relationship with my son. That is something that can't be quantified in words.

If you want the highest probability of winning your case, Mindy is the lawyer to hire!!!! Today marks the day where I am able to exercise my God given rights as a father to parent my own sons with sole legal and physical custody! This would have not been possible without Mindy using her vast knowledge and wisdom of family law. If you asked anyone, this was a very difficult case that I've been fighting for over 5 years!!!! Mindy came on the case at year 4, and within 3 months of being on the case, she was able to help me find the solution that I needed to win the case! If it had not been for circumstances outside of our control, the case would have been closed within those 3 months of her coming on. Mindy has such a heart and desire for complete justice and will not rest until every wrong is made right! She knew how to say exactly what I wanted to be said in each and every motion and brief we filed without me having to tell her. She knew exactly how to address every issue with extreme precision. She is so worth every penny and I'm so blessed to have found her. I felt secure with her and I knew that I was in the best hands. She is so valuable and if you're ever graced with working with her, you won't be disappointed. She's very personable, understanding, kind, honest, friendly, and protective. If anyone comes at her clients unjustly, she will not hesitate to put them in their place gracefully. Thank you so much Mindy for helping me get my family restored and giving my sons and I the precious gift of a complete father and son relationship. My sons and I appreciate you! You have friends for life!

I was faced with moving across the country (Michigan to California) due to a job relocation. Since Ms. Hitchcock had already done an amazing job during my custody case; I immediately contacted her about a change of domicile so that my son could come with us to CA. Mindy was fantastic throughout and made huge efforts to solve as much as possible outside of the courtroom (through mediation) in an effort to save both time and money. She also fought very hard IN the courtroom to ensure that my family had the best possible outcome. Mindy made something that was extremely difficult much easier. She's always fought hard on behalf of my family and we cannot thank her enough for everything that she's done. Thanks to her diligence and hard work, my whole family is enjoying the sun here in California. I would recommend Mindy to ANYONE going through a divorce, custody case or with a change of domicile. She is an amazing lawyer and an even better person.

My case involved a special needs child, and a vicious mother that lied continually. I can not say enough about Mindy, truly and honestly a blessing. When the circumstances were enough to break me she had the knowledge, dedication, and demeanor that gave me confidence. At conclusion the result of sole custody to this special needs dad, and transfer of jurisdiction speaks to her abilities as a lawyer and compassionate human being that she is!
