The Best lawyer!

Claire is a fantastic lawyer in and out of the courtroom! She is a true professional that is amazing at her job. I’ve worked with Claire for many years through different cases and couldn’t have been happier she was in my corner! Claire is honest, truthful and will do all she can resolve even the most... difficult of scenarios! I would choose Claire time and time again if needed and I will continue to recommend her to anyone that asks!

Excellent lawyer, knowledgeable and the consummate professional

Claire is the consummate professional. She guided me through the entire divorce process and I felt completely confident that she was always prepared and completely informed. No matter the complications that arose, she was poised and she guided me with calm confidence. I would recommend her without re...servation.

Get her on your side.

Having just finished with my divorce, there is no one else I rather have representing me. Claire above all conducts her practice with care and always with her clients best interest in mind. Her knowledge of family law is evident by her years in practice. She knows her stuff. She explained the proc...ess and didn't sugar coat anything. Her office is extremely competent and friendly and always returns calls or emails. Highly recommended.

Can't thank you enough

Claire has represented me for several years in numerous cases that have gone through family court. There is no one I would rather have in my corner. She is kind, supportive and understanding of the emotions involved in family court cases (children, support and visitation). But once we are in court sh...e is absolutely ferocious and within minutes you will thank God she is on your side. Her entire team, including Carrie, are amazing. They made me feel like family from day one and that was very reassuring. I can't recommend them enough.

Ms.Cody Miller Is An Outrageous Lawyer

Claire Cody Miller is by far the most professional and caring Lawyer i have ever met.I do not believe I would have ever found a better lawyer then her. She handled my divorce with so much care and dedication. No matter what situation I needed her help with she did not hesitate even though my divor...ce was a complicated case Ms. Cody Miller stuck by me and never gave up,and because of this we were very successful and finally my divorce is over. She is an outrageous lawyer, I would recommend her to any person going through a divorce. Ms. Cody Miller deserves more then 5 stars.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
