Christie Mitchell

Christie Mitchell was referred to me by a very close friend after I had struggled with my attorneys, who was running up my bill at every opportunity. I found her and her office staff to be very professional and thorough. She stayed by my side, and was cost effective for me, and, gave me concise answe...rs and direction. Christie picked up my case, and quickly took action. Christie was honest and told me what I needed to hear and explained the law to me. I appreciated that so very much and found it so refreshing. My decision from the courts was better than I had anticipated, and the decision was exactly along the lines that I had requested. If I remarry I will definitely higher Christie’s office to do my prenuptial agreement, to better protect myself from the situation that I got myself in to. I want to and thank Christie Mitchell and her staff. I will be recommending you to everyone that is in need of your services. They will be lucky to have Christie as their lawyer.

So thankful for Christie's expertise!

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 is very responsive, accessible with a great knowledge base

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!
