Barry has helped me with a zillion things....

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.

Very pleasant experience for an unpleasant matter

Barry was professional, confident, and calm through the entire process, which impacted the whole experience, and it was all delivered with a personal touch. I felt like I was doing business with a friend. He was generous with his time and patience, kept me informed every step of the way without overl...oading me, met all deadlines, and was responsive to all inquiries. I prefer not to experience another hardship again, but I would look forward to working with him again if the need arises. I wish Barry well and continued success in the future.

Knowledgeable AND Caring! Highly recommended!!!

I highly recommend Barry. It was a complicated case and besides being more than competent, Barry was kind and caring. " Good bed-manners" are hard to find. Barry combines that with his expertise; what a great combination!!!

Barry Miller represented me with full zeal and diligence and got the job done

I had an initial consultation via phone, and soon afterwards met Barry at his office. My case pertained to a civil judgment which I believe should not have been entered on my credit report. However, I knew that trying to represent myself, pro se, would be too daunting. This was my first experience... as a client of an attorney, so I had no expectations, and had some trepidation. For my first meeting, Barry asked me to bring whatever documentation I had pertaining to the case. Although the initial meeting was expectedly brief, I still recognized his thoroughness, his organization, and the zeal with which I would be represented. He set expectations well, outlining his intended course of actions. I left that meeting feeling confident that Barry was going to represent me with complete diligence. Ultimately, the work he did on my case confirmed that confidence.

Barry Miller saved me

I was referred to Barry by another attorney to counsel me on my debt and subsequent Bankruptcy chapter 7 filing. Not only was he easy to work with, he was knowledgeable, honest, thorough and he made the whole procedure painless. I would recommend Barry to anybody who needs an attorney.
