I hired Margaret to deal with a complicated family matter. She sure put her experience to work for me. I strongly recommend Margaret and her firm.

Margaret has worked with me during a contentious battle to change the terms of my original divorce (finalized with a different attorney). She is very knowledgeable about other cases pertaining to my situation and has been tenacious and innovative in her handling of my case. I would trust her with anything.

Ms Washburn has 30+ years of experience and it undeniably shows in her work ethic and willingness to obtain he best result for her clients. Recently hired her to take care of some enormous fines that I had wrongfully been made responsible to pay for and within one courtroom visit she got every penny dismissed after maybe 30 mins of being there. It absolutely blew me away. Her relationship with the courtroom officials is exactly what you want in an attorney being that they clearly hold her in the highest of regards and respects based on her reputation and integrity. If you need honesty met with efficiency in an attorney then Margaret Washburn is who you need to call. She’s a slam dunk.

I have observed and worked with Margaret on many occasions. She is a general. She plans, she coordinates, and she executes. I have seen her painstakingly go over her cases with her clients and do everything possible to obtain the desired results. In the legal profession, not everyday is a home run and sometimes you have to take lemons and make lemonade. I can tell you from first hand experience that Margaret will do everything that she can think of to get results. Some cases are easier than others and she will take difficult files. She offers her clients hope where sometimes there wasn't any.

Many thanks! I Absolutely appreciate the professionalism, follow up, communication, knowledge and giving of personal understanding that M.Washburn, Scott and all of the associates have shown me during what has been one of the most vulnerable times in my life. ~ FIVE STAR ATTORNEY for sure! KAS

I guess a lot of people can have an opinion one way or another but after the success of my first modification in 2015, unfortunately I’m having to go through another modification this year (2018) and I gladly put my money where my mouth is. Margaret and Scott have taken in my children and my case as if their own, with the utmost class, without resorting to name-calling and proving that they can out lawyer with truth and facts, not needing to mudsling or create a false narrative. Margaret, Scott, Cheri and staff have become like family, And if I’m the future, [God-forbid] should I have to go back to court, without a doubt it would be with Margaret and a Scott!

I could not imagine in a million years that I would need an attorney for child custody, but after being subpoenaed and hiring an unqualified attorney, Margaret was recommended to me and it has been one of the best decision in my life. Price·less (adjective): so precious that its value cannot be determined. synonyms: invaluable, of incalculable value/worth, of immeasurable value/worth, beyond price; irreplaceable, incomparable, unparalleled Their representation has been priceless and my children are in a better place because of their due diligence and their need to ensure that my children were put 1st in every aspect of my case. Margaret and Scott has taken the burden off of my shoulders in dealing with my ex-husband, that I can live life free and enjoy my children. I would recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney because they are the best and will give your case 150% support so that your children are taken care of. I am forever grateful.

I had the pleasure of working with the attorney team of Margaret Washburn & Scott Mitchell, along with Cheri, Alex & Nancy over a 3.5 year contentious divorce. The team worked hard in representing me across the gamut of mental health evaluations, mediation and court hearings I was subjected to. They were a pleasure to work with, explained the process to me as well as kept me in the loop all along the way. I would highly recommend this law team as they get the job done, especially if you find yourself in the courtroom.

Margaret is currently handling my divorce case.  She's tough, compassionate, she knows what she's doing, she listens to you, and she fights like heck for you in the courtroom.

Alejandra works for Margaret and has always demonstrated an amazing work ethic. I work in the law field and every time I've seen Alejandra at the courthouse she seems professional and always on task. In my opinion behind every great attorney there is a great assistant! Keep up the amazing work.
