Barry Scott Miller

After many years of feeling like a deer caught in the headlights, fearful about bankruptcy, hesitating to take the step, I finally could not take the stress anymore. I contacted Barry. On the first meeting I felt like I handed a lot of that stress over to him. He was probing, knowledgeable, and mo...st of all interested! He made me see that bankruptcy was not the end of my life. Needless to say, and without going into the particulars of my situation, he was like a miracle worker and got me to the light at the end of the tunnel. A respectful, intelligent, caring family man. He, to me, is a representative of the "good" side of the legal profession! I highly recommend this man!!

I was being harassed by my creditors. One of the creditors was attempting to garnish my pay. I went to Barry Miller to find out what my options were. He first and foremost stopped the garnishment. He then stopped the harassment. He then had my bankruptcy approved to give me some financial stability.... With his help I have now been able to reestablish my credit and become financially stable again.

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.
