A Trial-Ready Philosophy

J. Todd Mitchell is widely recognized as a 'Winning Trial Expert'. While many lawyers seek to plead cases out, Mr. Mitchell prepares every case as if it will go to trial. This aggressive stance often forces prosecutors to offer better plea deals or results in acquittals in the courtroom. His background as a managing attorney in the Public Defender's Office gave him 'behind-the-curtains' insight into how judicial decisions are made, which he now leverages for his private clients.

I have always been on the side of the falsely accused, the over-charged, and the innocent. We fight for justice, individual liberty, and freedom.
