Mitchell Epner is a Partner at Kudman Trachten Aloe Posner LLP and a civil and criminal litigator with more than three decades of courtroom experience. 

Mitchell’s practice centers on disputes and investigations that move quickly from theory to confrontation, where facts are contested, pressure is public, and outcomes are decided in courtrooms rather than conference rooms. He works across commercial disputes, white-collar criminal defense, government investigations, and executive employment matters, often when legal and reputational risks are highest.

Mitchell has handled matters at every stage of litigation, from internal investigations through trial and appeal, and his perspective is shaped by his experience on both sides of the justice system. As an Assistant United States Attorney, he prosecuted and tried serious federal criminal cases, gaining firsthand insight into how charges are built and cases are taken to trial. That background informs a disciplined, courtroom-ready approach grounded in credibility, preparation, and a cold-eyed assessment of risk.

Clients turn to Mitchell when outcomes will be decided by facts, advocacy, and judgment under pressure. He brings a steady presence to high-stakes disputes, helping clients navigate adversarial proceedings where their livelihoods and liberty are at risk with directness and resolve.
