Best Outcome

We were referred to Robert Mitchell to look over a bad medical collection account. Originally we just wanted to negotiate and get the bill paid off and removed from our credit report. Robert Mitchell explained that rewarding the collection agency with payment just encourages what they did to continue.... So we listened to his advice and were able to take back control. Not only was Robert and his Paralegal Kerry honest, attentive, fair and prompt with every step in the process but he was able to get us a settlement of $7000 and was able to get these bad debts off our credit report and got the collection agency taking ownership of their negligent collection tactics. Bonus, was because of the removal of these 3 accounts off our credit report our credit scores jumped 80 points! This was huge for us because we were in the process of purchasing our first home and we were able to which from FHA to conventional loan saving us thousands. We couldn't be happier and more grateful to have an attorney really there in your corner to fight for us.

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!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
