Robert is brilliant

Robert is a brilliant attorney. The collection agency filed a lawsuit against me. I didn’t know what I was going to do. It was my first time dealing with a situation. I was stressed out with no idea about what to do. I was truly blessed to have Robert as a lawyer. He took care of everything for me an...d alleviated my stress and worries. He achieved an outcome that was favorable and great for me. I would definitely recommend Robert to all My friends and family that are dealing with these types of situations. Thanks Robert

Great Experience, Quick Resolution

I had an issue with my credit report where I had an unpaid debt, but never received any bills or notices, driving my credit score down. Regardless of who I called, everyone agreed I was not at fault, but that sadly they could not help me out. I was finally referred to Robert after a chain of lawyers ...who were unsure how to best help me. Robert and Kerri provided thoughtful and detailed responses to all my questions and instilled confidence I could trust them before signing on. The issue was resolved within a month - it's no longer on my credit report - and I'm very satisfied with this outcome! Thank you for your help!

He is fantastic!

Robert Mitchell is the best attorney I have ever worked with. I had a scam debt collector, that reported a super old debt illegally on credit bureaus. That brought my FICO core down and my credit was damaged because of this ruthless scammer. It is violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act. Robert wa...s so responsive and on it quickly. He made the debt collector to remove the scam reports in 3 days. Only 3 days! The debt collector basically admitted that what they did was illegal. Now Robert is on their butt for lawsuits. I highly recommend him!

Saved my military security clearance!

Mr. Mitchell was instrumental in getting my military clearance renewed! I had several accounts on my credit report that had been re-aged, misrepresented, or just plain incorrect. Mr. Mitchell represented me and filled in court that they were violating Washington State law. They all quickly settled!... After a few weeks, my credit reports were 'clean' and I no longer lose sleep about my future! I can't express how much he helped, even on accounts that he didn't earn money on.... late on a Sunday night! For military members who need help, Mr. Mitchell is a Marine you can count on!

Robert is a Genius

Robert is by far, hands down, one of the best attorneys in Oregon and Washington. You would be silly to choose a different attorney. He is a genius and helped both my wife and I in a time of need. When you choose Robert as your attorney, you are choosing the most knowledgeable, highly respected at...torney in the consumer rights bar in Oregon and Washington. I consider Robert a good friend and would recommend him in a heartbeat.
