The Very Best in every way-

I have had Atty Milliard represent me and several family members, and we have all been very happy with the work and representation. One was a very serious accident and personal injuries that was successfully settled ( broken leg); Another time he handled a real estate closing and title for me, and... he has advised me on estate and probate matters. He is smart, engaging, and thorough. He has a true general practice and can handle many kinds of cases, but he will tell you what's what too, so you don't waste time or money. You just can't find a better lawyer!

Roland Milliard hit it out of the park

I am more than impressed with the results that Roland Milliard got for me. I was dealing with a contractor that was not responsive to my communications regarding issues with the job he was contracted for. I had contacted the contractor on numerous occasions with no response. I contacted Roland on ...a and he responded immediately. We discussed what I needed to provide him so that he could serve the contractor with a demand letter. Roland had the demand letter in the mail the next day. Within 2 weeks I had my settlement check in hand. If it wasn't for Roland I would have received zero compensation from the contractor. I would not hesitate to retain Rolands services again in fact he is now on speed dial. Rolands services far exceeded my expectations. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Not Guilty on 2nd OUI

He is great at what he does. I was very stressed and scared how this would turn out. I was likely facing 3 year license suspension and 2 week in patient. He met with me and explain everything that could happen. I was found not guilty and my license was reinstated. I would definitely recommend Attorne...y Milliard. Also, from my arrest date to my not guilty verdict only took 4 months. I was very pleased.

Attorney Milliard met with me promptly to discuss my case with care and thought whilst being professional and very thorough. His knowledge of Massachusetts Laws is outstanding and he stays very current with ever changing laws. He went on to have 5 of the 7 charges against me found not guilty on a b...ench trial.

Satisfied

He doesn't always keep in contact as you would expect and may not always be on time , but he will try everything he can to help during trial, he tells you what will most likely happen even if it's not what you want to hear and in our case he got us the end result we wanted. Id recommend him to other...s.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Roland Milliard is not just an excellent first-rate attorney, but rather an absolutely remarkable one. He is the go-to person that even we long-term veteran attorneys hit up for legal advice and direction. What strikes me most is not just his razor-sharp legal skills, knowledge of the law and agile way he works the courtroom or his negotiations with the other side whether it be with opposing lawyers or prosecutors on behalf of clients . . . but the way he seems to personally care about his clients as he champions their cases. His people skills are extraordinary in the way he wins over others to see and understand the side he is fighting for . . . and often does it with his noted sense of humor."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Atty Milliard more than 25+ years and have worked with him on dozens of matters. I observed him on his trial teams in law school as a student defender in Roxbury Court, and over the course of a lengthy practice. He is highly skilled, smart, assertive and practical. He is experienced in many aspects of law including criminal defense, restraining orders, OUI, divorce, and motor vehicle accidents too. I have called upon him more times than I can count for discussing a case or getting advice because I value his opinions immensly. Roland is a fearless litigator and effective advocate . I would not hesitate to reccommend him to anyone, and have entrusted him with my family too."
