Top best Contracts Lawyers in ZIP 85004 | 65 available

My favorite part of being a lawyer is hands down the connections I’m able to form with my clients. I’ve always been a people person, and I love the personal aspect of advocating on behalf of someone. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend a top law school and work in a variety of law firms and offices, representing everyone from everyday Arizona locals to large, multinational corporations. I’ve represented insurance companies and gained invaluable insight into how they operate and evaluate cases. Though I’m thankful for the experience, I much prefer representing the underdog.. My approach to cases is to, in a sense, work backwards. I work in collaboration with my clients to come up with the ideal result and then figure out the most straightforward route to get there. From there, my job is to execute on that strategy without cutting corners, while always keeping the lines of communication open.. Outside of work, I’m constantly challenging myself with new hobbies. On any given day you can find me golfing with friends, working on my Brazilian jiu-jitsu, cooking, or playing my guitar.

Mitch is a State Bar Certified Family Law Specialist. Over the course of his thirty years practicing family law, the majority of his work has been in high conflict, complex domestic relations cases. He has helped high net worth clients address such issues as business and professional practice valuation, commingling of separate and community property, concealment of transactions either during the marriage or the divorce proceedings, attempted sales of businesses during dissolution and transfers of assets without consideration.  Included in his area of expertise is presenting claims in determination or modification of spousal maintenance especially when the spouses do not have earning potential parity.  In addition, Mitch has negotiated and drafted both pre and post marital agreements and has assisted clients in the enforcement of premarital agreements during divorce proceedings.  He has represented parents when determining rights of decision-making, custody, and parenting time in cases involving complexities resulting from infidelity, substance abuse, sexual addiction, special needs and challenged children..
