ELIZABETH MITCHELL
Partner
Umhofer, Mitchell & King LLP
Elizabeth Mitchell of Umhofer, Mitchell & King has distinguished herself as one of California’s most accomplished and impactful litigators through a career defined by high-stakes advocacy, public service, and groundbreaking legal results. Her work spans complex civil litigation, constitutional law, civil rights matters, trade secret disputes, and False Claims Act litigation, but she is perhaps best known nationally for her leadership in the landmark Los Angeles homelessness litigation that reshaped public policy and municipal accountability.
One of Mitchell’s accomplishments was pioneering a first-of-its kind lawsuit against the City and County of Los Angeles on behalf of the LA Alliance for Human Rights. The litigation demanded immediate action to provide shelter, treatment, and services for thousands of unhoused individuals.
