Testimonials

“

In over 25 years of practice on the defense side of malpractice cases, Jeff Mitchell is the attorney I fear most. He takes very good cases. Jeff has the medicine and the applicable literature down cold. He is without a doubt the best cross-examiner I have ever seen. I have paid his clients a lot of money over the years.

Nathaniel never gave up, even when the other party was playing foul. He represented me when three other lawyers told me my case was a losing battle, and we won. He is kind, yet will make the other party soil their pants in fear for messing with you, and get this - his rate is decent and fair for the work he does. Nathaniel works with integrity and professionalism, which is why I think he is one of the last good lawyers in San Francisco.

I have known Jeff for many years, both personally and professionally. As a fellow trial lawyer, I wholeheartedly recommend Jeff in all areas of personal injury and wrongful death, particularly for medical malpractice cases. Jeff has a vast knowledge of medicine and has the ability to present complicated medical issues in an understandable manner to a jury or arbitrator. He is one of the best lawyers I know in trial because he competently thinks and reacts on his feet when confronted with the inevitable surprises of litigation. He is a real fighter for the injured.

We couldn't have made a better choice by choosing Mitchell Leeds to represent us. From day one to the end, their empathy, their professionalism and their confidence in our case never wavered. We were given the faith and they kept it. Their approach was completely professional but their concern for our case was equally personal. They took into account every little detail. They valued for us, our family values and ensured justice was done. We now have complete closure, thanks to them. Thanks especially to Rebecca Byrne for everything you did for us. We will always deeply appreciate it!
