About Tamara
Biography
Attorney with practice dedicated to Matrimonial and Family Law, focusing on mediation and non-litigated resolutions of critical family matters. After decades of experience reaching agreements during high-conflict, complex litigation, I find satisfaction in guiding clients to achieve skilled, lasting and self-determined resolutions of these sensitive and challenging matters outside of, and without many of the drawbacks of, the litigated adversarial arena. If necessary, my firm, Miller Law Group, also provides representation in contested family law matters.
