Stephen Louis Mitnick

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!

I hired Mr. Mitnick to represent me in a divorce suit. I felt he misinformed me about a TRO by telling me I could not go back to my house were my ex was living to gather some of my personal belongings. I later found out the TRO had not been issued yet. He never helped me get anything above what she ...was asking for, unless I asked first. He never explained the pros and cons of each issue. I would have to ask for three times as much of anything I wanted because he would tell me there's no way you can get that and talk me down, when I did push an issue I got what I wanted. The most annoying thing he did was quit my case 2 weeks before it was over stating there was nothing left for him to do. Yet within a week my ex brought suit against me for an insurance settlement and because I was in the process of moving I didn't pick up my mail in time to make it to the trail and lost thru default. If he had stayed on the case the notification would have gone thru him and would of been able to appear with representation. Mr Mitnick new there was an unresolved issue and told me she would have to prove I owed her more money, but I never got the chance. Thanks a lot !!

I came to Mr. Mitnick after 6+ years of fighting a custody battle and literally being ripped off by two local attorneys. At this point,I had paid in excess of $45,000. The Mediator had determined that my son's father could take him out of State and I would be left w/ 2 weekends a month. I walked awa...y sobbing,fired my attorney and remembered that several people had mentioned the name Mitnick. I called and within 6 months,I had full physical custody of my son. I was in awe.I sit here today, after having referred close to 7 people who all have had the same outcome.IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.

I would recommend Stephen Mitnick and I have to anyone who asks in need of his services. I was going through a child custody case. I came to him at my wits end. Mr. Mitnick took the case over after my original attorney did nothing but collect money. He was very professional and thorough. As horri...ble as something like court can be, it was nice to have Mr. Mitnick on my side.
