Mitch is a native New Yorker who found a home in the Midwest after a stint as a journalist in Detroit and Los Angeles. He is a graduate of Washington University (1977) and WU law school, class of 1983. He was the recipient of the St. Louis Equity in Education Award in 1998. He also was selected as One of Ten Outstanding Young St. Louisans in 1995.

Mitch's practice centers on complex commercial trial work and representing small and medium sized businesses. With his representation of the Missouri Valley Conference, the St. Louis Shootout, the St. Louis Final Four, and several professional athletes, Mitch is the closest thing to a Sports Lawyer St. Louis has to offer.

Currently, Mitch is a member of the St. Louis County Civil Service Commission and just recently retired as Chairman of the Washington University W Club - the university's athletic alumni association. He also is President of Washington University Student Media Inc., the outside entity that owns and advises Student Life, Washington University's student newspaper.
