Christie Bara Mitchell-Guttman

Christie Mitchell was referred to us by a very close friend after we had struggled with a few attorneys in the past. Our situation has been ongoing for over 15 years and we are well versed in the tumultuous family court system. We met with Christie back in 2013 to review our current situation and dis...cuss the past details of our case. She reviewed the case information carefully, asked the right questions, and provided clear and concise recommendations. She provided us her opinion on how likely certain outcomes would be, no sugar coating, no fluff. If she didn't believe the case direction had a good chance of prevail, she explained why and steered us in another direction. In our case, the opposing lawyer wrote pages upon pages of fluffy opinion that in the end meant very little in the courtroom (and actually cost the other party quite a bit), while Christie wrote crisp statements with the facts that drove home the point. The opposing council filed multiple motions over and over when not obtaining the outcome that favored them and Christie was amazing at pointing this behavior out to the court with a positive outcome. She is well known in the industry and has spent enough time in the courtroom to understand each judges personalities. We have just closed out our 4 year saga and were very thankful to have Christie as our attorney along the way.

Christie took my fathers very complicated case several years ago. In the end, my father ended up with the house and his ex looked terrible in Court. She is very knowledgable, worked with my father to pay his legal fees on his limited income, and was very professional. Top notch attorney......... Was... very upfront regarding her discipline from the state bar. Would not hesitate to use her myself... which I may. :)

I recently hired Christie. I've been in a terrible divorce battle for 6 years. My first attorney was the most inept attorney you could imagine and created a black hole for me I've been having to deal with. My last attorney came down with cancer right before a court date and had to remove herself imme...diately from the case and recommended Christie. She heard my story and gave me conscice answers and direction. She quickly took action and its been so refreshing. I finally feel there's light at the end of the tunnel. She is truly working in my son's best interest, not mine or his mother's. I'm retired after 25 years in law enforcement. Seeing Christie work is like working with a prosecutor that knows the law and how to put evidence together to get the right outcome.

The most amazing attorney!!! Was there doing exactly what a superior attorney would do for a client. I went through a divorce and without Christie's knowledge and expertise it would have been so much worse. Her knowledge of the law and the courts and legal system has her hands down ahead of the res...t of the attorneys I spoke to before hiring Christie!! Her representation through out the entire process was OUTSTANDING!!! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pit-bull who will protect them to the end!!!

I met Christie Mitchell when she helped a friend with his divorce. I then had friends needing help with child custody and referred them to her. We needed Christie's advice on a tax matter, from the beginning I was very pleased with her ability to describe our legal situation and outline plans for ...our case. Christie was always patient and there with great advice. She has a great knowledge of the tax laws and what the best options are in many situations. She has a great knowledge of the system and what needs to be done when to expedite the case when it can be so done. With her expertise and experience we were able to get a decision from the courts that was better than we had anticipated. She was able to keep us on track from offering any more than we had to and then was able to get the decision exactly along the lines that we had requested. Christie is very responsive and accessible, and that is important to me. She is highly principled in all she does. We are thankful for her sound legal counsel and problem solving abilities. Great job on her part!
