Daniel Harris Miller's Reviews

Posted by Lynette | August 6, 2025 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He is very knowledgeable and understanding when it comes to my case.

I want to express gratitude to Attorney Daniel Miller for helping through my case and getting it terminated. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has a case. Him and his staff are very friendly and helpful.

So glad Dan Miller was on my side

I cannot say enough how wonderful Attorney Miller handle my very difficult divorce. Having no experience in legal matters, I found Dan patient in explaining everything to me as well as having a very calming, confident demeanor which I found was very reassuring. He is very knowledgeable, experienced ...and detail oriented and nothing got by him no matter what the opposing attorney put in front of him. Dan cares about his clients and their children and wants the best for them. He and his fabulous assistant Sara filed every motion, responded to every email and phone call in a timely professional manner. I was kept informed of strategy, procedures and next steps. He made sure I understood and answered all of my questions. In court, Dan presented my case brilliantly and he was completely and totally prepared. If you are divorcing you either know or will soon know that the courts do not work in a timely fashion. To the frustration of the attorneys and their clients we are kept waiting for each court date. After many court dates, court delays and court procedures, I could not be happier with the results. I felt we were a team working together the whole time. Gratefully, I trusted him completely. There is no one I would have rather had on my side than Attorney Dan Miller.

If you need a bulldog, then look no further!

I recently has a false restraining order brought against my wife and I. We hired Dan to represent us. He was confident, straight to the facts and really proved the case in our defense. He made the plaintiff really look like a fool and pointed out the reasons why the plaintiff brought on the false re...straining order. I felt so proud to have Dan by our side representing us.

You found your attorney!

I worked with Dan Miller and can highly recommend him! If you are reading this review, you are clearly in a tough spot - believe me, I’ve been there ;-) Is he the cheapest divorce attorney around? No, he is not. But you usually get what you pay for. Or in his case: MUCH more than what you pay for...! I am so glad I had him on my side. Starting out, my ex-wife wanted everything including the kids. Thanks to Dan being a level-headed, but determined well spoken professional we quickly found a favorable solution for everyone. Fun fact: Dan did such an amazing job that my ex-wife ended up firing her own attorney and followed Dan’s lead to completion. Look no further - Dan is your man!

Great Attorney

Attorney Miller was very helpful, patient, and professional. He assisted us with the closing of two properties. He walked us through the process and thoroughly explained all of the details required to complete the process. We were delighted with Dan and are looking forward to continuing a business re...lationship with him.

He listens to each side an argument before making a decision or recommendation. When I face a difficult legal issue I often find myself calling Dan to get his opinion. Dan is one of the good guys."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
