About

Mindy L. Hitchcock has practiced law in Michigan for over 34 years. Using her extensive background in communication, she couples these skills with her legal expertise to achieve remarkable results for her clients. In 2020 Lady4Justice PLLC was rated a Top 10 Family Law Firm by the national Attorney and Practice Magazine. Mindy has written columns for local newspapers in the areas of family law and personal development, and she has also created unique programs to meet her clients' needs, such as the Family Transition Plan and the No Parent Left Behind Plan, aimed at reducing client’s costs and hours spent in court. The goal in each case was to create a product that would address all of the clients' needs in the most cost-effective, low-stress way possible. Clients using the programs have praised their efficacy. Drawing from her own experience, a lifetime study of spiritual philosophies and teachings, and a deep caring for the planet and the people who live on it, Mindy offers a pragmatic yet loving approach to help people through some of the most difficult times of their lives with skill and compassion. Mindy says, "I believe we teach what we need to learn, and by helping others, we ultimately help ourselves." Like most people, the wisdom she has gained through the years came from her own challenges, including as a child of divorce and from her own divorce after 23 years of marriage. That is why she can honestly tell her clients that from the worst experiences of our lives come the best experiences if we are open to the lesson they hold.  All endings are also beginnings, although we don't know it at the time.

Because my spouse of over 40 +years filed for divorce, I required the services of a lawyer specializing in Domestic Relations Law who was compassionate, sensitive, understanding and willing to learn, and appreciate the nuances and complexities of my less than ordinary circumstances together with the courage to venture into a new frontier of Family Law. After interviewing several well-respected Family Law attorneys, and even one that was a former head of the Michigan BAR, Family Law Section, I chose Ms Hitchcock, because, aside from her excellent reputation, innate professionalism, and the fact she is a mediator, she possessed a warm, engaging, compassionate understanding and acceptance of me as a LGBT person, and expressed the interest to learn more about our community and respectfully represent and advocate for my, and in turn, our collective interests. Ms. Hitchcock, also possesses the skill, understanding and diplomatic knowledge and acumen to work with opposing counsel to seek out a fair and equitable settlement for both parties. I highly recommend Attorney Hitchcock to anyone seeking professional legal representation in a domestic relations matter and invite members of the LGBT community to consider her as your attorney to handle your Family Law concerns including adoptions.

Mindy has been my attorney throughout a very nasty custody battle and she has been great throughout. When my case began, I felt defeated. It seemed as if the deck was stacked against me being a single dad. My child's mother wasn't allowing me to see my child at all. Mindy helped me tremendously through this uphill battle and I now spend nearly equal time with my child. It wasn't easy and I know it wasn't fun, but Mindy was vigilant in making sure that I got what any parent SHOULD have. She dealt with opposing counsel that was underhanded and scheming and still came out on top. She has been easy to talk to from the beginning and has been great about keeping me updated on my case and getting back to me quickly when I've had problems. She is a fantastic attorney and a great person. I'm sure a lot of lawyers will say that they truly CARE for their clients; but Mindy doesn't just say it. She means it. She's given me what I would have been denied otherwise: A relationship with my son. That is something that can't be quantified in words.

I was faced with moving across the country (Michigan to California) due to a job relocation. Since Ms. Hitchcock had already done an amazing job during my custody case; I immediately contacted her about a change of domicile so that my son could come with us to CA. Mindy was fantastic throughout and made huge efforts to solve as much as possible outside of the courtroom (through mediation) in an effort to save both time and money. She also fought very hard IN the courtroom to ensure that my family had the best possible outcome. Mindy made something that was extremely difficult much easier. She's always fought hard on behalf of my family and we cannot thank her enough for everything that she's done. Thanks to her diligence and hard work, my whole family is enjoying the sun here in California. I would recommend Mindy to ANYONE going through a divorce, custody case or with a change of domicile. She is an amazing lawyer and an even better person.

My case involved a special needs child, and a vicious mother that lied continually. I can not say enough about Mindy, truly and honestly a blessing. When the circumstances were enough to break me she had the knowledge, dedication, and demeanor that gave me confidence. At conclusion the result of sole custody to this special needs dad, and transfer of jurisdiction speaks to her abilities as a lawyer and compassionate human being that she is!

I am a law professor and a former practicing attorney, and Mindy Hitchcock taught me how a great attorney can truly help a client in need. After a failed mediation in a family law matter, I was fortunate to have Mindy represent me through litigation, back into mediation, and ultimately to the best resolution possible under the circumstances. Her strategic thinking was prescient and the result of tremendous experience. And her genuine concern and care for my family's best interest is clear in her writing and advocacy. And through it all, Mindy Hitchcock gave me strength, care, and understanding. This father is very grateful to have Mindy Hitchcock as an attorney and counselor.

Being a man it is difficult to not receive bias in court against a woman. Without being paid, Mrs. Hitchcok gave me great advice to help with my family situation. She is knowledgeable, kind and professional.

Mindy is superb, smart, and wise! Super woman! She knows how to fight for her clients and she represented me very well, even when I was not present during the arbitration of my divorce process. Very professional and fast in dealing with all legal correspondence. She took my case from my previous lawyer who didn't do his job well, and she was able to save me from bigger loss!! I will for sure recommend her in a heart beat! Love her energy too! Bold yet compassionate!

I did shop around for a good lawyer for my divorce. I prepared a list of questions and interviewed a lot of lawyers for their knowledge of divorce law. Mindy was my choice. The result? I had a good settlement! Mindy goes above and beyond for her clients. She truly cares about her clients and fights very hard for them. Mindy works very hard on the case. Sometimes she works until midnight/early morning to make sure the case is well prepared( I received a quite few emails with time stamp 2AM). Mindy's co-counsel Alex is very knowledgeable and helpful too, he helped me out greatly.
