Mitchell Highlander, LLC - Edwardsville (IL)

5 /5 James Williams: I used Mitchell Highlander to represent me in a family matter case. Jamie Mitchell and her staff demonstrated professionalism, clear communication, and provided me with consistent updates throughout my legal battle. They understood my frustrations and encourage me to remain positive during this difficult time. In the end, I feel we accomplished all my goals. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

5 /5 Andrew McFarlane: Mitchell Highlander is an amazing legal practice. I spent the last few of the most stressful years of my life with this firm going through my complicated divorce that originated in another state and was very contentious. Jamie Mitchell and her staff are more than just knowledgeable, but savvy with regard to divorce proceedings. I felt they cared for me and what I was going through, but more importantly they showed at every turn that they knew what they were doing and then some. They are professional and direct with expectations which I really appreciated. I was never told what they thought I wanted to hear but what was happening and how we proceeded from that point. That was super refreshing. Jamies competence is so evident and her manner so easy to understand; I had no problem feeling comfortable with her counsel and always felt like I knew what was happening. Apparently, I cant say enough about this law firm. I really cant. What do you say about a group of people who are so professional and nice while they guide you through the toughest time in your life? I am just going to say, thank you Jamie, and Brittany, and Cheryl, and everyone there at Mitchell Highlander who helped me with my divorce. You are all awesome! Andy McFarlane

5 /5 David McGinnis: Jamie did an excellent and professional job handling my case. Jamie listened to my questions and concerns providing me with the legal guidance that I needed to better understand the divorce laws impacting my case. Being the man and the petitioner, it was not an easy process, but I found an attorney who understood the challenges and help me fight for a fair result. Jamie kept me informed throughout the process from initial consultation to settlement. I would highly recommend her to anybody. Should the need arise, I will seek out her services in the future as well.

5 /5 Kelley Denise: Our family met with Jamie in our search for adoption lawyers that specialize in step-parent adoption. Jamie made the process seem easy and was always present to answer any questions and to offer advice. While our son was matched with his lawyer per the court system, we could not have chosen a better lawyer to represent us and to ensure that the adoption process was completed as quickly as possible. With Jamie, you’re more than a client. She takes an active interest in who you are and works diligently to ensure optimal results.

1 /5 Heather: My experience with Jamie Mitchell was terrible. She was not the attorney she portrayed herself to be during the initial consultation. She was my attorney for about 1 year and 3 months for custody case. Had at least 6 phone conversations month after month with her repeating what she was going to do and failed to do it each time. She attended 8 court case management meetings and failed each time to request even a hearing or establish temporary support after over a year. She took $7000 with absolutely nothing to show for it. She started going weeks at a time and even an entire MONTH not responding to multiple messages during my case, which was completely unacceptable. I even had to start attending the zoom CMC meetings myself just to find out what was going on with my case. I learned more from google and my 2nd attorney in 30 minutes than I did from Jamie about the process and what was going on with my case in the year I dealt with her. The more I questioned Jamie about what she was doing or lack thereof, the more she ignored me. At one CMC meeting, I saw her interact with opposing attorney, he would have eaten her alive at trial!! She was beet red, fiddling and putting her hair behind her ears due to nervousness and she was clearly intimidated and uncomfortable. I knew I made a terrible mistake hiring her. The opposing party also filed a motion to compel on me because Jaime FAILED to send them discoveries 4 MONTHS after I turned them in to her And them asking her for them multiple times and I didn’t even know about it until they filed it! The final straw, I asked for proof that she requested a hearing with the Judge, which she could not provide, she claimed I didn’t trust her and withdrew from my case claiming a “breakdown of communication”. Biggest blessing that could have happened because she most certainly would have caused devastation with my custody case because of her carelessness. She advertises for helping people deal with narcissist, yet you will get gaslit up and down by her if you question anything she does that seems off, or that she flat out lies about or fails to get accomplished. 3 attorneys I spoke with after dealing with Jamie said I was not the first person they heard say they had a negative experience as a client of Jamie for some of the same reasons, especially not filing documents, lack of or cutting off communication or abandoning their case halfway though. Do not trust her or depend on her unless you want to risk losing your case or causing loss in dealing with your circumstances or your family.
