The Only Choice If You Need A Civil Rights Attorney

Josephine is an excellent attorney and an even better human being. She genuinely cares about civil rights and her clients. She does everything she can to advocate for them. No matter how much adversity she faces from the legal system in Connecticut, she pushes ahead. Never giving up and always encou...raging her clients. Josephine Miller is what Connecticut desperately needs.

Attorney Josephine Miller Is an honest, compassionate and ethical Super Lawyer in every sense of the word!

I would trust Attorney Miller with my life! She took my case on short notice when the Commission on Human Rigts and Opportunities was on the verge of dismissing my case. Attorny Miller . I sat with Attorny Miller and watched her during three depositions as she made the respodants own witnesses contra...dict the respondants case. The brief that she wrote for the cases' judge cited enough case law, precedents, common law and persuasive legality to do even the great Supreme Court jurist Thurgood Marshall proud! She is that accomplished at writing legal briefs. She is really that good!!! Just as important, Attorney Miller always returned the phone messages that I left for her. And, unlike some attorneys, Attorney Miller always explained where we are at as the case progressed and always explained matters of legal esoterica.It is unfortunate and an injustice that Attorney Miller is not ranked as a " superlawyer", because that is exactly what she is: a highly skilled attorney who cares about her clients.In a day and age when attorneys are mostly concerned about fattening their wallets/purses , Attorney Miller is that one rare exception of the lawyer that cares about her client and the case. From a very satisfied client

Attorney Josephine Smalls Miller is the only attorney for me!

Attorney Miller has handled three matters for me in the last 5 y ears. Her work is thorough and highly professional. She is a person of upstanding integrity and she is VERY VERY knowledgable about the law and clearly unitimidated by people, especially people who have an unrighteous bent. I thank G...od every day for the positive impact she has had on my life as well as my legal issue.
