Stephen Louis Mitnick

I found Stephen to be very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and supportive of me during my case. He was very complete in assisting in building my case and I found all exchanges with him to be very professional. He is also very approachable and his office staff was friendly and very efficient in... managing our meetings and paper work. It is my pleasure to highly recommend him and I am pleased to have been his client.

I worked with Steve on three separate matters for about a four year period after my attempts at mediation were unsuccessful. He got the jobs done quickly for the initial fees that were charged me. He always responded back in a reasonable amount of time, including his secretary, and they both treated... my case with the confidentiality and urgency I expected. I was referred to him by another lawyer who was far more expensive and I know I couldn't have gotten through those challenges without him.

While I was searching for a lawyer to represent me through a very unwanted and painful divorce, Steve came very highly recommended. I was able to work with him and my ex to make the best out of a very painful and challenging situation. The only thing I would improve was the response time to specifica...lly emails. I had to resend emails a couple of times, which was frustrating when all you want to do is resolve the situation and move on with your life asap. Other than that would highly recommend and his services are worth the retainer fee as he is very experienced and knowledgeable in his field.

I hired Mr Mitnick in 2006 and thought he was grand..but in 2013 I used him again and he charged me thousands and then told me 4 months in that I needed a QDRO attorney and he did not do QDRO's. It was all I needed and he had told me early on that the retirement division was not written up clearly... in the 2003 LegaL Separation and that had to be corrected. WHY didn't he till me then that all I needed was a QDRO attorney and that he did do QDROS?? Instead of charging me thousand of dollars for nothing . He told me to do my homework and I did,sending him link after link of the federal retirement plans with information for attorneys then he tells me he doesn't even do QDROS! WTH? Then I hired another attorney who earned her money, who is a QDRO attorney and all she needed was my original papers. He let the other attorney run the whole show. She "objected" to her client doing a discovery after she filed for me to do one. Why didn't Mr Nitpick object to me doing one!!? I honestly wonder if his own divorce has made him bitter toward woman or maybe he just needs to retire. I fired him and went to represent myself for my back support and won my case without him! I withdraw my previous recommendation and feel very disappointed in his conduct. Just grind up your money , mix it in your dogs food for at least your dog will get some fiber out of the money! For I honestly feel I got nothing for mine. He should be ashamed of himself, I don't know how he sleeps at night!

Steve didn't know anything about stock options I had to do all research. He doesn't know how to use basic functionality in Word to be able to track changes in the divorce document. I had to write my own Gavron warning as he didn't have an example language. He never provided pros and cons always ju...st advised taking the deal. I finally had to hire another attorney to review the document to ensure I was protected in the document. Doesn't return calls, doesn't call with new information. Keeps his dog in the office during meetings. Doesn't take notes during a conference meeting .
