He was wonderful and compassionate. He answered my question regarding a very serious legal matter that has been bothering me for years.
He came up with the answer to my question in 5 minutes while it took me 7 hours of research the night before.
Mr. Mitchell was so kind and generous with his knowledge that he brought a certain peace over me. He was extremely patient with me. I will never forget the interaction I had with him this past weekend.
Wish he could take my case!
God bless you Mr. Mitchell!

John Mitchell is a great listener and can diagnose the legal issue,and make understandable to the lay person. . He is very experienced, and highly knowledgeable. He then goes on to run the traps and explain clearly the strategy that needs to be implemented. He guided us in a 2255 and refined the application, specified timelines that needed to be met to be in compliance. He has kept me abreast of the progress of the appeal and checked in to see if I was aware. He is also compassionate. He has helped me feel that we are not alone in the process. He is a super lawyer, I highly recommend him

Nish, as anyone who decides to go with her will soon realize, is not just a remarkable attorney; she is warm and friendly...looks beyond the legal issue at hand...at your life as a whole. Therefore, she doesn't waste your time by dragging your case on and on just so that she can make money. She is quick and sharp and incredibly focused. She gets the job done, quickly and with integrity. She brings respect to the legal profession. I recommend her without reservation.

Ms. Kimmel is dedicated, concerned, and hard-working. I loved working with her. She helped me get through a very difficult time in my life with grace and dignity. She paid as much attention to me as she did to her celebrity clients.

Figured I'd give him a call since Montana West Girl left a review saying to give him a chance despite the 1-star reviews. Told me to represent myself, answered every question with "I don't know", and tried to defer to MY understanding of law. I told him I'm not a lawyer, that's why I'm talking to him, and he shrugged it off saying "well I don't know your education" - would I be calling a lawyer if I was a lawyer myself? In our short exchange he managed to convince me I know law more than him (when I know next to nothing about it). Avoid at all costs.
