Stephen Louis Mitnick

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 .

I hired him to represent me in a custody case where the other party had been making physical threats to me. I made it VERY CLEAR that when serving the other party, that Mr. Mitnick was NOT to release my personal address & phone in any documents or otherwise as this was a domestic violence case as we...ll. His office not only printed my personal info on the paperwork & served it to the other party, his secretary released my new address & phone # to the other party by phone, which resulted in add'l threats, harassment & an attempted break in/kidnapping of the child I had custody of. I also caught Mr Mitnick's secretary in several lies when questioning her about her conduct.
