Rick Mitchell

I had hired attorney Rick Mitchell to assist me with simple child support modification agreement. Me and my kids mother had come to an agreement on past due arrears. Basically the deal was that she would forgive all past due arrears and in return I would provide her a large lump sum payment of a less...er amount. Sounds pretty easy huh? Not exactly. It turned out to be a very difficult situation one in which the chances of success was very minimal. First thing is that I live in Utah and needed an attorney in Texas. Rick had no problem with doing business over the email and phone. Best part is he made it so I was not required to be there or travel which was something I thought I would have to do. So I dealt with approx. 4 other attorneys in my time and would have put him at the top equal to just one other. I think that Rick Mitchell did a very good job. He exceeded my expectations as an attorney. His fees are reasonable, there in the middle or so about on average with others based off of quotes from two other attorney’s that I had looked into. Not the highest but not the lowest. But the good thing is that, whatever I expected the cost to be, is exactly what it turned out to be. Meaning that he made sure that I understood what the costs are, and it stayed as such. This is my first time encountering an attorney that didn’t add in all kinds of additional and unexpected fees. His costs/fees were simple to understand and was not cluttered with crazy things like faxing, copies, time spent driving, and talking to you on the phone, and the other crazy type of expenses I have seen with other attorney, stuff that shouldn’t be charged to begin with. The second point to mention is that he achieved all of what I had wanted to achieve, even the things that seemed very unlikely. If you actually knew the amounts that we are talking about with these arrears and the payment, you would understand why it was unlikely. Even if he had failed to achieve all my goals, I would still have left him a good review. Also I have left many negative reviews for past attorney’s that I’ve hired, and I hate having to do that because believe me reviews do make difference when people looking for an attorney. This is the first time I have left a positive review and I highly recommend him for legal services.
