J Todd Mitchell Law Firm

⭐️Another stellar 5-star review courtesy of a satisfied client ⭐️

🌟 Hard work pays off! 🌟
After three years of relentless fighting for freedom, I'm thrilled to share that justice has prevailed. Last week, we received a unanimous “not guilty” verdict for our client accused of murder. Every ounce of dedication, perseverance, and belief in what's right has finally paid off.

🌟 Celebrating Rehabilitation Success! 🌟 As lawyers, our mission extends beyond the courtroom – it's about championing the triumphs of our clients on their journey to redemption. 🤝💼 Today, we're thrilled to share a success story.
🎉 Imagine turning a new leaf, rewriting your narrative, and embracing a second chance at life. 📜✨ That's exactly what our incredible client has achieved through dedication, resilience, and a commitment to positive change.
🛡️ We take immense pride in safeguarding our clients' criminal history, not just as legal professionals, but as advocates for rehabilitation. Every sealed record is a testament to their transformation, a badge of honor that recognizes their hard work and growth. 🏆🔒

Doing a little self-celebration today after two weeks of jury trials. This week, the jury returned a verdict of “not guilty” to all felony charges in Columbia County. Last week, the State dismissed their case after the jury was impaneled in Richmond County (r**e and aggravated so**my charges where the defendant was facing two life sentences).
We can’t win all our cases but we promise to work to get the best possible outcome for every client.

Another 5-star review from our wonderful clients. I am very proud of the result we achieved in this case.

We are celebrating three victories within the week, including one I am particularly proud of:
1. Felony warrant dismissed. Client is able to accept lucrative job offer.
2. Probation terminated 8 years early. Client gets a first offender discharge, keeps her good record clean.
3. 14-year-old client charged as an adult and facing life in prison, successfully gets his case transferred down to juvenile court. Juvenile court has a toolbox of services that are better at addressing the unique needs of a child.

Protect your record, protect your future.

Nothing makes me happier than getting a case dismissed for a client who deserves it.

Great week at the J Todd Mitchell Law Firm: successfully argued for a client to be released from the s*x offender registry, helped prevent an 18-year-old from getting arrested (and jeopardizing her future career in health care), and received my award from The American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys for being one of Georgia's 10 Best Criminal Attorneys for client satisfaction.
