Scott Adam Miller

We hired Scott to represent us on the sale of our Brooklyn loft and cannot recommend him highly enough. Our situation was challenging due to the complexity of the buyers we were dealing with, but Scott handled everything with professionalism, precision, and patience. He was always available to answe...r questions, kept us informed every step of the way, and expertly navigated through the more difficult aspects of the negotiation. Scotts knowledge of real estate law and ability to stay calm under pressure gave us peace of mind and ensured that the sale was successful. If you are buying or selling a property and need someone who can handle tough negotiations and complicated buyers, Scott is the one to trust!

Following a traumatic no fault fire that destroyed my business, I was left to navigate the shark infested waters of landlords, real estate brokers and the State Liquor Authority. Scott Miller graciously came to my assistance with honest, clear and informed legal aid. I would have been out to pasture ...without his help.

I retained Mr. Miller in his new location in the Hudson Valley to represent me on the closing of my house. He has no sense of duty to his clients. He is recklessly disregardful of facts that apply to his failed performance. It's one non-meritorious claim after another, with knowledge of the falsity o...f his defenses raised to avoid taking ownership for the adverse consequences he produces for his clients. Instead, he changes the subject and makes bogus allegations. His bizarre claims and lack of professionalism are shocking not only to me but the bank I had to work with for 2 weeks after the closing into which he deposited unverified checks into 0 interest checking account that would be on hold for a long time, a fact he did not mention, and he knew I keep no money in the account and have a high interest account. Admits he doesn't care what his clients think of him (or any other.) Irresponsible with client's funds. Will transfer title to a seller's home not caring if seller receives no proceeds and when learning the seller has not, takes no action to rectify it, doesn’t want to hear any details, and instead insults the client. He denies evidence of the loss he causes that is before his eyes in writing. There is no misunderstanding with his clients. He was copied on bank correspondence and made no attempt to conceal his sarcasm, abuse, denials and allegations made up of whole cloth, even raising eyebrows of bank executives who handle such transactions. His sellers have to fend for themselves, even though he takes legal fees for services not rendered, makes false claims to get hires such as he works for his client and would not do anything his clients don't agree with. He later admits the falsity of his inducement to retain him. His denials and insults are intended to change the subject from his failure to perform his duty under his license and to disown it. Cooperates with the adversary who requests that he not help his own client. Won’t voluntarily make reparation for the loss he produces or the amount of work he creates the need for his clients to do, far more than he does, which amounts to very little. Demands money on the spot, requiring credit card number, expiration date and security code if not able to do immediate ACH transfer, a security risk for the client, but despite learning that funds are not kept in a checking account, he will put unvalidated checks in them, which the client’s bank justifiably considers fraud and restricts the account. He never asks the client if it’s okay with them to lose $1k or more in interest (due to length of hold he conceals when wiring funds of over half a million dollars produces no hold. Tells client no need to attend closing and schedules for a time when the client can't make it, then tells the client they must attend, regardless of impossible timing. After repeatedly telling him there must be time to meet and discuss in process matters about closing, he says then drop everything and make another long distance trip immediately. Never gets to the subject of wiring funds and how to handle proceeds. Falsely promises he will make sure client gets every penny entitled to, but when told the buyer needs to provide info for his client to pass on to their bank, he complies with adversary's request to not impact buyer's enjoyment of seller's house. It's his job to work with buyer's attorney to resolve payment of mortgage check that he blithely accepts in seller's absence at closing. Miller threatens to not close, days before a scheduled closing. That's how seriously he takes his job. Takes no responsibility. Sets up long distance appointments for clients and never contacts them to say he can’t make it and says he doesn't have to apologize after client makes trip, the client knowing no better than to want to meet this person. Cuts off seller's bank manager when trying to explain problem, then incredulously tells client only problem is client calling bank responding to calls from fraud depart.
