Early life
[edit]Mitzner was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in East Brunswick, New Jersey.[1] He is a 1982 graduate of East Brunswick High School, where he served as student council president.[2]
Mitzner attended Brandeis University, where he received a B.A. and M.A. (Politics).[3] He graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1989.[4]
Career
[edit]A Conflict of Interest was published in 2011[5] and was named one of Suspense Magazine's Best Books of the Year.[6] It reached #1 on Audible on January 30, 2012.[citation needed]
A Case of Redemption was published in 2013,[7] and was the only literature nominee of the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award.[8]

On April 14, 2020, Mitzner published The Best Friend, the third book in the Broden Legal series. Booklist wrote: "This is a well-constructed, compelling legal thriller that deals perceptively with guilt and retribution, all set on a firm basis of love."[11]
In 2021 Mitzner published The Perfect Marriage, this novel delves into the complexities of relationships. James and Jessica Sommers face challenges as their pasts collide, and their marriage is tested by hidden agendas and revenge.[12]
