Review Deborah B Miller

Probate Attorney - Challenging Case

5.0 stars

Posted by anonymous
January 5, 2022

Deborah was my attorney through an extended probate lawsuit. She was very strategic and planned well and kept focused on the issues. The outcome was successful. The process required a review of extensive financial records, gaining access to these records, multiple hearings, and responses to various challenges. Throughout, Deborah was strategic and thorough in her responses, continually kept pressure on the other side to resolve the issues through multiple hearings. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her.

I hired Debbie to represent me with my divorce. She prepared my Will as well. She is a very empathetic and professional lawyer. She made me feel very comfortable from the beginning and explained the entire divorce process thoroughly. From start to finish she communicated all iniformation and was patient and compassionate when confronted with constant questions and rants. I would highly recommend her.

I hired Debbie to represent me whilst going through a divorce. It was one of the most difficult times of my life. She made me feel at ease from our very first meeting to the present. She was trustworthy, compassionate, patient. She led me through the entire process and explained things so I could understand. Needless to say I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Debbie. She is not only a good lawyer but a good person as well.

I highly recommend Debbie's legal services. I found Debbie to be very thorough in analyzing business contracts focusing on the major items. She was flexible in tailoring a contract that would meet my needs as well as providing me alternative ideas about a specific topic within a contract as well as alternative language that provided greater clarity. Turnaround time was good for reviewing a contract which was usually in a couple of days. Ethically strong, only provided appropriate and needed services for a given project.

Debbie is a good, well educated lawyer who acts like a regular human being when she does not have to be in "lawyer mode" . When dealing with judges and other lawyers, she was professional and assertive. When dealing with me, the client, she was patient, sympathetic and understanding. She made be feel very comfortable and helped me get through a very trying situation. She was always accessible and kept in constant communication, both updating the status of case and just being generally supportive on a personal level. She was thorough in her preparations and forced the other side to basically surrender.

5-10-13 I am a friend and colleague of Ms. Miller. I am also an attorney (semi-retired) and worked for a number of years for Shearman & Sterling and other major international firms. I have worked with Ms. Miller and she is my personal attorney, handling both business and personal matters, including my estate planning. I have recommended her to friends and colleagues, who have only the highest praise for her knowledge and work ethic. I ordinarily do not write recommendations, but am pleased to do so in this case.

I have been using Deborah Miller both professionally and personally for at least the past decade. She is an excellent and attentive person and gets great results. Professionally I have worked with Deborah in numerous contracts cases for customers that had unpaid balances and refused to pay. She has been very helpful in closing out these cases and get payments from these customers. Personally I have work with Deborah a few times and she is always helpful and informative. She has both a professional and personal demeanor. It didn't feel like I was working with a lawyer. It felt more like I was working with someone that actually cared about me. I would definitely recommend Deborah Miller for any person or business that is looking for a great lawyer and person. She will work for you or your business and get the desired results.

Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Deborah for almost ten years. In that time I have seldom encountered a more competent attorney for estate planning and probate law. I even referred my cousin, an estate planning lawyer from out-of-state, to Deborah for collaboration. She has always done excellent work. - Christian Petrucci

Kenneth Spivack, Family Attorney on May 15, 2013

I give Deb the highest endorsement. I only endorsed her in family law because this site only allows me to select one catagory. Deb is lawyer's lawyer. This means other lawyers regularly go to her for advice and guidance. She is smart, honest, hard working, aggressive and always well prepare. Also, her rates are extremely reasonable especially when compared to other attorneys .

Andrew Mirsky, Family Attorney on May 8, 2013

I have worked with Debbie Miller on many matters and recommend her highly. She is skilled, intelligent, thoughtful, very professional, very fair to her clients and other attorneys and opposing parties, and totally someone who I'd trust to handle any matter.
