Better off getting a public defender

I felt like I didn’t have an attorney. I’ve spent so much time doing my own research, coming up with my own defense strategies, constantly initiating suggestions for my attorney to put into action, but he’s the expert. I would show up to court and sit at least an hour waiting on him to show up, then ...had to wait even longer before he decided to bring my case before the judge. I’ve been patiently waiting, going back and forth to court for a year now on discovery motions, and still no discovery. I have spoken to the answering service more than I’ve spoken to my attorney or anyone else in the office. I would send email after email and wouldn’t get a response back until days later. I’ve had to schedule an appointment just to have a phone conversation. My attorney briefed me maybe a couple times prior to going before the judge, most times I had no clue what his plan was. I felt like I was not heard, rushed, ignored, and my case not taken seriously. I wasn’t given any direction, just left paranoid and very uncertain. Communication, assurance, and expertise is key, and honestly, everything was horrible. I felt from the beginning that choosing Eric Mitchell as my attorney was a big mistake, but I kept telling myself to be patient, stay calm, trust the process, and things will get better. Eric Mitchell gave me the impression that he just graduated from law school or that he’s burned out from years of practice. I felt as if he was not on my side and was working against me instead of for me. He was not willing to fight for me, stand up for me, and was ready to go to trial without any type of evidence to prove my innocence. Unfortunately, I had to fire him. Now I must start off fresh with a completely different attorney that will do everything in their power to fight for my justice. I would not recommend Eric Mitchell. If an attorney is not willing to fight and go hard for every single client, then retire or find another type of work. I would’ve been better off with a public defender.

Bad things can happen to good people. And going through the Justice System can be one of the most frustrating and trying times in your life. I know, because it's happened to me on more than one accasion. And I am fortunate enough to be able to sit here and wholeheartedly recommend Mitchell Law Group.... I have personally watched them literally have a heated argument with a Judge on my behalf, and when you are going through such a devastating process there most definitely is comfort in seeing someone fight on your behalf, especially when all you can do is usually sit there in silence. My case was to me the most important case in the history of cases; They made sure to treat it that way. That is in essence what I took away from my experience. They are professional and most importantly, they are communicative.
