Complaint Review: Darryl Mitchell - Fort Lauderdale Florida

OJ Odunna, Darryl Mitchell and the Law offices of Darryl Mitchell is a total scam! They took money for immigration paperwork and did not file it and took our money. Do not use these people! People associated with the law office include DARRYL MITCHELL. Look them up on google, they both have a criminal records for scamming people out of money. When confronted, they both claimed they did not even know each other and that they were not partners in the law practice even though they are both listed on the business card.

OJ Odunna is NOT LICENSED to practice law in the state of Florida. Look him up the Florida Bar website. His license has been revoked. Darryl Mitchell has had disciplinary action taken against him by the Florida Bar for falsely claiming he could represent someone and did not do as claimed. He was ordered by the Florida Supreme Court to return the money he was paid for services not rendered. We have filed a complaint to the Better Business Bureau and have also filed a complaint with the Florida Bar. Do your research before you hire anyone to represent you. 

If you google OJ Odunna's name, he was one of the 25 lawyers disbarred for committing fraud and scamming people out of $374,000 in 2008. Darryl Mitchell was arrested in Broward County in February 2012. His father Marzell Mitchell was also disbarred for setting up false trust accounts and falsely underreporting income from his law office. This information is all available on the Florida Bar website as well as google.

Specifically, these two prey on immigrants who do not know any better and are looking for a change in immigration status. They will take their money and promise them a green card, but do not file any paperwork. In addition, they will never give you an itemized receipt or detailed costs. They will ask you for large lump sums of money. OJ is known to disappear - when he calls you back, you will see he only calls from a Skype account and constantly changes his phone number. When he feels you realize he is stealing your money, he flies back to Nigeria and will not call you back. Darryl Mitchell will pretend he does not know who OJ is and will claim they are not partners since he knows it is illegal to have a non-lawyer practicing law under his law firm. These two have their scam down to a science. They know immigrants have so much to lose that they will not report them to the police, etc, so they continue to scam them out of their life savings since they cannot afford to hire an attorney to get their money back and they fear for deportation. 

They owe us $4500.00 total and have not paid us pack although they admitted to wrongdoing and agreed to pay us back after we threatened legal proceedings.

I have personally written the Florida Bar, contacted several lawyers about these two con artists. I have taken to Yelp!, Merchant Circle and any other avenue to expose these guys. They are unethical, unlawful and need to be stopped.
