Savvy representation

To cut a long story short, a shady home security company told me I had made a 5-year commitment without having ever signed a contract. These people even claimed they had a recording of my wife committing to a 5-year contract over the phone. This was an outright lie, and the date she allegedly made th...is agreement was before we even owned the house! At that point I knew it was time to find an attorney. Robert Mitchell was recommended by the first two local firms I contacted. Robert drafted a masterpiece cease-and-desist letter. After reading it I knew, "Someone who knows the rules of the game is on my side." I immediately felt a peace of mind that's hard to truly convey. Robert sent the letter, and the threat of a class action suit apparently got the company's attention. A month later he received notice that the account was being terminated. Many thanks to Robert for resolving this matter so quickly.

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.

A fantastic experience!

There is nothing awesome about having to take legal action against someone. Especially when you realize that you have to pay for it and deal with a lawyer. I've had experiences in the past dealing with consumer protection lawyers. And let's just say I wasn't impressed. When I first called Robert Mit...chell about my case he was very attentive and empathetic. He made me feel like I was a person not a deadbeat consumer who couldnt pay my bills. He made me realize the harassment I was receiving wasn't okay and I didn't deserve to be treated that way. During the process he always updated me with what was going on and what to expect. I could tell he was very passionate about finding a solution for me and not just looking for a paycheck. I will admit that I tend to ask a lot of questions. He always answered any questions or concerns I had in a timely matter. He highly exceeded my expectations. I refer him to anyone I know that has experienced the same consumer harassment I did. Thank you Robert Mitchell.
