Mitchell D. Sickon

Mitch Sickon is a dedicated, experienced, and client-centered attorney and counselor who has committed his career to pursuing justice for his clients.

After graduating from the University of Michigan as an undergraduate and receiving his law degree from the University of Colorado-Boulder, Mitch worked as a legal aid attorney in the Four Corners region for several years, representing folks in family law matters and acting as a guardian ad litem for children in abuse and neglect cases.

After returning to Michigan with his family to make sure that his children had the opportunity to make meaningful memories with their grandparents and extended family, Mitch added representing students with disabilities to his practice at Disability Rights Michigan (DRM). For seven years, Mitch worked on civil rights cases for students with disabilities in Michigan’s administrative forum and in federal district courts, at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and at the Supreme Court of the United States of America. He frequently co-counseled with Liz Abndour and Jacquelyn Kmetz during his time at DRM.

During his time at Chalgian & Tripp, Mitch worked as a probate litigator, a special education consultant, and sought to add elements of elder law and estate planning to his practice. Having returned to advocating for students with disabilities, Mitch is greatly satisfied knowing he is back to working with Liz and Jacquelyn, while getting to know the rest of the wonderful team at AW Law.

In his free time, he enjoys raising his four wonderful children alongside his wonderful wife, corralling the family’s chickens and dog, playing soccer, and dozing off in lakeside hammocks, or at least, daydreaming of the same while he shovels snow and chops firewood.
