Stephen Louis Mitnick

Stephen Mitnick is a quintessential attorney. My case lasted almost 21/2 years and resulted in a very fair decision mostly because Stephen through his wisdom and experience knew instinctively what was right and what was fair and never waivered in his negotiations on my behalf. What I also really like...d about Stephen is that he did not nickel and dime me for every call, fax or email, he was honest and forth right and always there when I needed him. He also maintained and help me to maintain calm in the midst of chaos. Stephen is a very nice person and I'm so happy I choose him and very thankful for the excellent job he did for me. I would have no reservations in recommending him!

I was referred to Steve by a lawyer in Ventura that had worked with him in the past. He was highly recommended as someone who is reasonable and honest. I didn't want to get into a big battle but I did want a settlement that left me with a little security. Steve kindly helped me through this process ...with as little pain as possible. I was fully satisfied with the results. I have recommended Steve to friends and they,too, have been pleased with his services.

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.

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 !!
