ABOUT MITCHELL & Danoff LAW FIRM

Putting Clients First for 30+ Years

At Mitchell & Danoff Law Firm, people come first. Our personal injury lawyers in the Central Coast Area take a client-centered approach by focusing on offering genuine legal counsel to help our clients in their times of need. Our firm takes tremendous pride in providing the best possible legal service to you and your family whenever you require legal assistance. Since 1984, lead attorney Tab Mitchell has pursued successful results for clients. He comes to work every day with the sincere gratitude of having yet another opportunity to serve wrongfully injured Californians.

  • Selected for inclusion in the listing of Super Lawyers®
  • AV Preeminent® on Martindale-Hubbell®

We have achieved recognition for excellence because we are completely dedicated to every aspect of our clients’ well-being, and ensure that our clients receive all of the necessary medical treatment they need before securing swift resolutions to their particular legal matters. Our clients can feel confident in our firm because we are constantly going the extra mile and beyond the call of duty.

To help clients succeed, Attorney Mitchell brings an incredibly unique perspective to every client’s case. Our level of experience often goes unmatched in the industry, and our clients often reap the benefits.

Two things that distinguish Attorney Mitchell from others:

  • He has been the victim of a severe, head-on motorcycle accident.
  • He began his legal career in the “enemy camp” working for years for insurance companies and learning all of such companies’ tricks, which he now uses to help his personal injury clients.

Having this unique former experience helps our firm bring value to our clients’ claims where other attorneys may falter. Because we have worked on both sides of the fence, we are well aware of the tactics that insurance companies attempt to use against the injured. We can successfully counter any strategies that insurance companies use to minimize or deny rightful compensation to injured people.

 

Sometimes, lawyers can get a bad reputation for viewing people as money. This approach only leads to short-term success. When you have been injured because of someone else’s negligence, you will want to look for a firm that can offer you the best possible service and that will treat you as a person, not a case file. One of the ways in which we demonstrate our commitment to our clients’ interests is by working on a contingency fee basis.

You shouldn’t have to worry about trying to afford medical expenses and legal services after an accident caused by someone else. When you hire Mitchell & Danoff Law Firm, you won’t have to stress about any legal service fees until after we help you secure a satisfactory settlement for your case. We are confident in our ability to help you get results, no matter how complex your case may seem.

Personalized Service & Attentive Representation

When you have been injured because of someone else’s misconduct, you will want to work with a lawyer who has been in your shoes and has felt pain similar to what you are experiencing. Attorney Mitchell was involved in a serious motorcycle accident when he was younger, and his experience in dealing with the tragedy made him realize a deep, inner calling to protect the rights of injured victims in the community.

Although Attorney Tab Mitchell started his career in law by working for aviation accident insurance defense, he has since completely devoted his practice to advocating on behalf of victims – not companies. Knowing what it is like to go through the claims-filing process, Attorney Mitchell can bring a personal approach to your case. We understand that the legal system can feel impersonal and overwhelming at times. We take genuine care to offer swift and dependable representation that is tailored to your specific needs, goals, and objectives.
