Joanna is currently helping me in my Child Custody case. She got me so far not only to get temporary custody of my children but got me to stop the child support. We have been in several hearings and the mitigation hearing and on those she has passionately presented my case and got a better outcome than expected. She has adviced me well and kept me up to date on all issues. Even at times where I had to called her on her personal phone during issues that my ex created, she has been there for me. I would definately recommend her. Even she has work with me on her fees when I had a financial situation. She has gone above and behond what I had expected from her. She is very professional and passionate about her job. My family thanks her.

If you have ever seen the movie, Jerry McGuire, you will get a feel for who Joanna is as your attorney. I am not talking about the Jerry in the first part of the movie but the Jerry in the latter part of the movie. His personal care in treating his client as more than just a client or pehaps a case number but a person with needs, struggles, challenges and conflicts. This is who Joanna is. This is why I am writing this review. She not only grasp a firm understanding of my problem & circumstances but meticulously and methodically developed the best course of action for my situation...for my case. She never placed me into a box or a category thinking OK - this is just like XYZ case, etc, etc. Nothing to the contrary, she developed a personal and specific plan of action. When was the last time you know of an attorney doing such? When we went into court, she was well prepared as if she had rehearsed how it all would play out beforehand. And when my exwife spoke incorrectly in the courtroom or spoke wrongly or said one inconsiderate thing - BAM! Gotcha! What did you say? Wow, I would never have gathered such. Went right over my head. This is truly a pro at work. isn't this what your lawyer, your confidant, your collaberator, your ally is supposed to do? Aren't they suppose to have your best interest at hand? Or merely their own (ie: how much can they bill you for)? In the future, as long as Joanna is practicing law, I will use no other attorney for any of my court issues because trust and piece of mind is everything and there are just too many lawyers in this town only after my money and not interested in my circumstances nor my particular case situation. I encourage you to use her too but not if it cost her bill rate to increase....go away! LOL

This was my first time using Avvo and I came away feeling pretty good about after my exchange with Joanna. She seemed genuinely interested in my question and offered some good insight into possible steps I could look into or disregard, especially as it pertained to establishing paternity.

My divorce was a little different as I was military stationed overseas and my (now ex) wife was in Florida. Joanna handled this divorce flawlessly, making sure what certain military allowances should and should not be considered for the final judgement. The way she handled herself in court was impressive, to say the least. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in a similar situation.

Back in June 2012, I contacted miss Joanna Mitchell by phone free 45 mins consultation. After in our good conversation, I hired her as my legal attorney since. Until now I am still using her as my attorney for the second time for "child support modification". She is very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, understanding and very professional with her work. Her price also is not bad. I would highly recommend her to every one . Excellent job! Keep up the good work.

Joanna is a very thoughtful, fair and knowledgeable attorney, she handled my divorce and still represents me on an as needed basis when situations arise. She is very professional, and walked me through the whole process, explaining things in a way that I could easily understand, she was very diligent in protecting my rights and ensuring a fair and balanced settlement, she provided me with excellent counsel when I was unsure on how to handle certain aspects of my case, so that I could make the best decisions for my particular circumstances. Joanna made a very difficult time much easier to coup with so that I could move on with my life. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of the services that she provides, she didn't encourage confrontational situations just so she could rack up more billable hours, she is more about getting in done as efficiently and fairly as possible.

MS. Mitchell is an excellent attorney. I contacted her by phone when my divorce initially began. I wasn't sure what to do because this was my first time being involved in anything like this. She spent 45 minutes on the phone with me, giving advice, even after I told her I wasn't going to be able to afford her. I later hired her and she was very knowledgeable and meticulous in her methods. I would recommend her services to anyone. I felt as though I had a friend sitting next to me in the courtroom.

I am so thankful for having Attorney Mitchell by my side from beginning to end. She is the only lawyer that truly gets it (and I have had a few in the past that clearly didn’t). She is a “Team Player” all around! A client will never feel that they have lost ALL control of their case with Attorney Mitchell. When hiring an Attorney to represent you, please consider hiring Attorney Johanna Mitchell. I am proud to say that I did and will again if need be in the future.

Joanna I a fighter. If you want an attorney that looks at your problems and can see a reasonable solution and is willing to work her hardest to make it happen then this is the attorney you want. I can even say that when she sees an injustice she strives even harder to make it right for you. She takes the right of the children personally. She is awesome. I just wish she would have been the first attorney I hired in Florida.
