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.

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 .

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 !!
