In Mitchell’s office, you’ll find…

Presidential Bobbleheads

I enjoy visiting presidential libraries and I collect a bobblehead from each one I visit. (JFK and Carter’s libraries didn’t have bobbleheads, so I bought busts)

Leather briefcase

My partner Karen gave this to me after we tried our first case together. She said it was similar to the briefcase her mentor, John Cleary, used.

Wooden Portrait of My Daughter

This was given to me by my wife Katie on the first Father’s Day after our daughter Cora was born. It was painted by a friend of ours who is an artist in Arkansas. Katie and I now have three kids: Cora, Nellie, and DJ.
