Scott Adam Miller

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.

After being good tenants for years, my family and I were suddenly being kicked out on the street by our landlord. In a state of disbelief, I contacted lawyer after lawyer but it was Scott who not only empowered us with our rights, not only told us we may have a potential settlement, but most importan...tly Scott helped return a state of calm back to my family. We literally went to Disney World and left everything to Scott. He handled everything and we are very satisfied with the outcome.

Scott and Robin are just simply amazing lawyers. My mother and I had a tenant landlord dispute where we felt scared and naked and alone but knew we had a case. Robyn and Scott listened to us and really gave us a sense of peace and comfort before we even got started. Immediately after our firs...t phone call we felt like we had a plan. The retainer was expensive for us on paper but in the long run was absolutely affordable considering the amount of work and care that the legal team provided. We went from owing three months back rent and three months rent penalty plus security deposit to settling out of court for one month plus security. Sounds like a dream but it was real. I would recommend this legal team to anyone because it really really made a huge difference in my life but the amount of money I saved was insignificant to the amount of peace of mind that I gained. If you give them a chance you will not be disappointed or at least I wasn’t in fact I was thrilled .

Scott Miller represented me in an illegal lock out. My landlord signed the lease and later didnt let me use the space. I hired Scott to help me get my space back. On our first meeting he explained to me what my case was and what steps I should take. He got me into court within a week. Scott did ...a great job. We won the case. Scott is professional, knowledgable, supportive, understanding and always available via email or phone. He defended my rights genuinely. I was very happy to have him on my side. If you have landlord-tenant problems, Scott is the lawyer! I would highly recommend him.
