Posted by Diana C. L. | March 06, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Insurance

Rick mitchell has worked both professionally and privately for me.In the past

I was account manager for 20 years at Royal Windows. Incorporated. At 1 point, royal found a need of an attorneys representation in some coverage that we purchase over our vet, extremely large insured companies and how that coverage functioned is very detailed. It's very Confusing, if you're not aw...are of the product that we had, or how it would coincide with the insurance in this company. And for someone to come in and go through the boxes of stuff that I had and represent us. He did a fabulous job, and so we hired him multiple times after that. Very pleased, 100% would rehire him business wise top-notch, professional man. And put a hundred percent into our case.And did a great job. In addition, I was so impressed that when a family member needed, an attorney I recommended Rick Mitchell at family member saw him hired him to represent him in addition, he has hired him.I think a couple more times since then. I now have a need for an attorney and someone that I could trust. And someone that I knows has will do a 100% of what I need them to do. And will put all they have into it. And so I too will go to Rick Mitchell, because I trust him. And if it can be done, he will do it. And he will tell you straightforward how things are Good honest, man, great attorney.I highly. recommend Rick Mitchell.

Excellent family attorney

Rick is an excellent attorney. He listens well to client wishes, he's honest about what he thinks he can do to help your case, and he's a stellar litigator when it comes to being in the court room. I've hired Rick repeatedly to represent me and my children and I always know he'll do an incredible job... when it comes to representing our needs.

Fixed my custody

Cannt say enough great things about Rick. After two large firms messed up my custody Rick got me more time than standard. He can easily handle high conflict cases and is well respected by the courts and counselors. If you have a high conflict case with litigious opposing party, then hire Rick.

Modification to custody

When I hired Rick, the odds were stacked against me, I had gotten into some really bad habits, and signed conservatorship over to my ex husband and was using drugs. Three years went by and my ex husband refused to even let me talk to my daughter's via telephone. When I decided to get clean, my ex hus...band let me have them for a few hours, and they began to tell me all of the horrible things he was doing, I decided not to let them go back. A few days thereafter the constable showed up to get them with a writ of attachment as well as a lawsuit, they were trying to throw the book at me. I had 2 weeks to come up with an attorney, or face up to 2 years in jail as well as paying a lump sum of fees and 10 years probation. I had no money, I literally felt hopeless. I was then referred to Rick. Seeing as how I was still unable to pass a drug screen, Rick had his work cut out for him. He was able to work with me on my payments. We went to court and both my ex husband and I had to drug test, we both failed. At that point the court issued temporary custody to his mother. My ex husband never completed anything the judge ordered and eventually stopped showing up to court. I then had to fight his mother for custody. Rick was always there to guide me through every step of this process. He was amazing in the court room, very assertive and knowledgeable. He could tell me exactly what the opposing council and judge were going to throw at me beforehand, thus he kept me prepared. He is also very respected by the judges. I was told by numerous attorneys I had interviewed that the chances of me winning this case were slim to none. Rick was able to not only get me my rights back, but won me full custody. He took me from no contact, to supervised visits, to FULL CUSTODY. I would, and have referred him to many people. He is by far the best attorney I have ever had the privilege of retaining. He doesn't just beat the odds, he conquers them.

Highly Recommended

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.
