  • "Will Mitchell isn't just a great attorney, he's a great guy."

    Will Mitchell isn't just a great attorney, he's a great guy. He got the case flat-out dismissed. He gave my life back to me. When I had an urgent matter come up, he called me back after-hours on a Sunday. He's just that type of guy. You can trust Will with your life, he's just that type of guy. On top of everything, he didn't break the bank. 10/10 Would recommend to anyone that's in a jam and needs a legal Superman to come to the rescue!

  • "Will was a lifesaver for me."

    Will was a lifesaver for me. He helped me put together documentation that resulted in having a felony dropped to a misdemeanor. Olivia, his assistant, is awesome also. I had Will's cell number and was able to call or text any time I felt uneasy. The team is very responsive and supportive. I could not ask for a better outcome. Thank you, Will!

  • "I would highly recommend Will as he will fight for you."
    Will got my DWI charge dismissed in lieu of a reduced charge of obstruction of highway passage. I did test over .08 so I chose not to go to trial but there were a few other factors with my case compelling the prosecution to lower my penalties and probation to 15mo; at which time my obstruction charge will also be dismissed. I was able to take care of all my classes, evals, and community service prior to ever seeing the judge so I think that helped my case. Will and Olivia were eager to help me understand what was happening and answered all my calls and emails very promptly. I would highly recommend Will as he will fight for you.
