The Number One Choice In Attorneys
I had a very difficult case, many didn't want to work with me. Lamar was not only willing, he was extremely thorough. When an attorney tells you that they got into the business to help others, they are right if they are like Lamar. He truly wants to help and seeks the best outcome for his clients....

The Best and Easiest to Talk to.
I found Lamar K Mitchell and used him for a case that I was wrongly accused of battery. Lamar calmed me through the process and is a very honest and easy man to talk to. After a year and half in and out of court my record has been expunged. His calming and professional manner kept me in check ...
"I have known Lamar for years, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. He is a good man and an excellent attorney. His advocacy is ethical, sincere, and zealous. He genuinely cares about his clients and it shows."
"Lamar and I have consulted and collaborated on an ERISA case. He is flat out one of the brightest guys I know. He works hard to maximize the value of a client's case, and is honest to a fault. Without hesitation, I endorse Lamar Mitchell."

He is an exceptional listener, with the skill to immediately spot employee's issues which another less conscientious attorney might miss. He is naturally a fierce and loyal advocate for his friends and clients, while being easy to work with. I look forward to referring clients to Lamar because I know they will be well defended and treated well."
"I would highly recommend Lamar for any client, colleague or friend who needs to retain a litigator for a commercial case. I have worked with Lamar in the past and do not hesitate to send clients to him whenever a commercial litigation issue arises."
"Lamar Mitchell is an honest, hardworking attorney who genuinely cares about each of his clients. I have known him in the Atlanta legal community for well over a year, and he is the first attorney I call when I need to bounce an idea off a respected colleague, get another point of view, or simply tap the oracle of legal knowledge that he is. I give Mr. Mitchell my highest endorsement."
