Barry Scott Miller

Before I hired Mr. Miller, my credit card indebtments were being settled by a debt relief fund firm outside of the state of New Jersey. Aproximately two years ago: I decided that I wanted to get out of my credit card indebtments as soon as I possibly could. Because I knew that my time in the work Fo...rce was winding down, and I really wanted to quit working two jobs. While I was a part of the debt relief fund I was only able to settle one of my credit card accounts- across approximately two years. So, several months ago I decided that I needed to make a change in order to get the last two accounts settled, and save money. Every month I had to deposit 310.00 into the fund and 84.00 went towards attorney fees. I was losing money; waiting for the relief fund attorneys to negotiate my indebtments. And also, one of the credit card accounts was for a great sum, and I did not know how I would fare in the settlement. So, after many telephone conversations with other debt counselors I decided to get myself a lawyer (a specialist), someone who would negotiate the remaining two credit card accounts, for a one time fee, and as soon as possible. So, I turned to the telephone book, and Mr. Barry Miller Esq. was listed as an attorney in many of the counties here in New Jersey. I had one session with him to discuss my financial situation, and a one time fee to pay for his abrogating sevices. It was only about two month later, November and December of 2014 when the remaining two of my credit card indebtments were settled. The power of a lawyer.

I would highly recommend Barry to anyone. As an attorney, he is caring, knowledgeable and quick to respond. He was helpful in negotiating a favorable settlement for me when the credit card companies would not. I would certainly call Barry for any other legal matter that I might have in the future....

Let me start by saying I never write reviews; I expect good service from people i pay for it. That said, I fought Chase Bank for over 2 years - and was threatened and harassed til wits' end- until I got Barry involved. First off, he was able to explain what was going on, talked me out of bankruptc...y (by explaining what my options were and what their consequences would be) and did a lot of hand-holding for my wife and me. More importantly, within six weeks of his getting involved, Chase's whole tenor changed. The calls stopped coming, the letters stopped coming, and they assigned me a specialist and offered me a refinance package with 6 weeks! Did it cost money? Yes. But I would gladly have paid more, just to get the *%#**^%!!! bank off of me. Calculating in the terms of the refinance, I have saved a lot of money. My only regret is that I didn't call him earlier.

I have to say that Barry is unique among lawyers in the fact that he's accessible and knowledgeable in many areas of law. In my business career, I've used plenty of other lawyers and either they drain your retainer for trivial matters or they're impossible to get on the phone to ask a simple questio...n. With Barry, I can usually get him on the phone, even if he's driving. And if I leave him a message, he gets back to me pretty fast. Over the past few years, he's helped me with a bunch of things like contract development, business forms, partnership advice and now he's helping me negotiate a settlement with a creditor. The other thing that has been helpful is that after getting myself into a financial mess, Barry sat down with me to go over my options and help explain the ramifications of each. I was able to ask a lot of questions and I was never rushed into making any decisions regarding bankruptcy. Other attorney's push you towards that and that's one thing I wanted to avoid. So I'm glad that I moved forward with Barry and it's great to have an attorney who I can call to help me with legal advice, even if it's just a two minute question.
