  • "I carry his card on me, because I believe in him and trust him."
    After being arrested for DWI, it is easy to feel lost, scared, confused, and unsure of where to turn for help. Luckily, I was recommended the legal services of Will Mitchell. From the initial consultation until my final court appearance, Will was there for me throughout the entire process. In a very frightening time, Will was able to put me at ease and guide me through a difficult situation. Due to his expertise and dedication, he was able to lessen my charge to a much more favorable outcome. I had multiple consultations before I was directed towards Will, and they all resulted in frustration, fear, and intimidation. I, like many Austin residents, work in the Service Industry, and was not financially able to afford much more than a public defender. His services are invaluable, but reached at a reasonable, flexible rate. I carry his card on me, because I believe in him and trust him.
