Rick Mitchell

I hired Mr. Mitchell to assist me with my daughter coming back home with me. I was open with him on my history and all that had transpired. He got to work quick but little did I know it wouldn't be in my favor. An amicus attorney was hired for my daughter and I was told her fees would be billed to th...e county as I told him I would not agree to her having an attorney because I had no more money. After was all said and done, on the court date I was not asked in the court room only my ex-husband and his family and Rick. Some Information I'd given him he wouldn't even view. He didn't try and help me at all, he cared nothing for my case or my daughter. I even had recordings. Nothing I brought to him he used. If ever I felt discriminated against it was surely this day as I am a black female and my ex-husband is white. I was trying to get my daughter because she is suicidal, she cuts and purges. The only way Mr. Mitchell helped me was to accumulate more bills. After court he sent me a bill for the amicus attorney, which he had previously told me I wouldn't have to worry about, letting me know I had to pay half of it. Oh and during the case I was getting frustrated and I told him I knew he wasn't on my side, then he threatened to go and relieve himself of my case, sure after he'd received $2500.00 from me. All I know is if you are a black or African American person, please do not hire this man. He will not work for you, trust me. I would have done better and probably had a better outcome representing myself. To those of you who don't most of attorneys are colleagues/associates/friends/partners. They council together and just about know the outcome of your case before it is complete. I pretty much paid this man to fight for my ex-husband.

Rick helped me keep my daughter in my life. He was brutally honest with me and told me how it was most likely going to go with my situation as well as what I needed to do to get the results I was looking for. WHICH I GOT !!! He was pretty much spot on. Never once did he make promises he couldn't ...keep. He also informed me of things I could prepare myself to save money instead of nickle and dimming me which helped tremendously. I'm not sure if it's typical for him but he worked with me on my retainer. Without him I'm not sure if I would have ever got to be with my daughter again. Thank you Rick
