Anne P. Mitchell is a 1992 graduate of Stanford Law School, and a practicing family law attorney. She has been involved in family rights advocacy since 1987.

Ms. Mitchell, herself a divorced single parent, is the founder and executive director of the FREE Foundation, an organization dedicated to addressing the issues and concerns related to father-absence. She maintains a family law practice in Northern California, and teaches at Lincoln School of Law. She is the author of "The Maternal Bond" (American Journal of Family Law), and the Dear Esq. advice column.

Ms. Mitchell, a frequent radio and television guest, eloquently and articulately addresses such issues as bias in the family court system, the current epidemic of father-absence and its effects on our nation's children, and false allegations of abuse in the divorce/custody context.

The advice and information contained in her booklets, "7 Ways to Ensure Well-Adjusted Kids After Divorce", "The Truth About False Allegations of Child Abuse" and "Parental Kidnapping: Prepare for it - Prevent it", have helped single parents and their families to provide the safe and balanced environments which children of single parents so desperately need.
