Director

Finding hidden assets. Mitchell represented a woman whose husband of 30 years had left her, taken up with another woman, and secretly acquired a business that he concealed during the divorce. Mitchell discovered the existence of the business, obtained ex-parte relief—which included the appointment of a receiver who took control of the business—and ultimately was able to obtain a very favorable settlement for his client.

Winning resolution on the eve of trial. Mitchell represented a man who had been married for several years.  His wife suffered from a personality disorder which impacted both their marriage and children.  Mitchell’s persistence and patience ultimately brought it to conclusion just before trial.

“I provide my clients the support they need in situations where their high emotional level makes it difficult for them to make rational, well-informed, and thoughtful decisions. I’m an empathetic and active listener, a tough negotiator, well respected and persuasive in the courtroom, fully knowledgeable in family law, and constantly focused on what’s best for my clients and their children.”

“I enjoy the practice of family law because of the close relationship that I develop with each of my clients and the satisfaction of becoming their trusted advisor who helps them make decisions that are often life-altering.”
