Best of the best—enjoy retirement, Mr. Mitchell!

David Mitchell has been retired for many years now but I feel like I want to share what a great lawyer he was. He handled my case very professionally and exemplified true legal knowledge and confidence throughout the entire process. His legal assistants (they were all students in law school) were gre...at communicators, detail oriented, and kept my anxiety at bay during the hardest time of my life.

Very knowledgeable and professional

Mr. Mitchell represented me in an auto accident claim against a very uncooperative insurance company. Mr. Mitchell acted in a very professional, courteous, and ethical manner. He was very knowledgeable of the court system and laws in the case. He kept me informed throughout the process. He was q...uick to return calls or answer emails whenever I had questions or concerns. I felt that he had my best interest at heart during this rough time. Mr. Mitchell was able to secure a very favorable outcome on the case. I hope that I'm never in need of this type of assistance again....however, if fate puts me in that situation again, I will definitely ask Mr. Mitchell to represent me.

If you need a over the top lawyer who will go the extra mile for you then David Mitchell is your Man. I was involved in a car wreck and David went after the man that hit me insurance company and had to go after my insurance company because of all my medical bills.

Recalled Medical device

Although I no longer live in Arkanas, I called David after disappointing calls to lawyers in my area regarding a recalled medical device and a second surgery. David's firm was not handling my particular recall but was able to recommend a firm in Jonesboro. I was very happy with this firm and David ...stayed involved in the case until settlement. Although he was not the lead lawyer, David called and emailed regularly to make sure I was satisfied with the law firm and explain every aspect of the case as it developed. My entire experience was very positive and the settlement was more than satisfactory. I am so grateful for David's recommendation and involvement. I highly recommend David Mitchell to anyone needing a knowledgeable, conscientious, honest, capable and caring lawyer in a personal injury case.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
