Great Attorney
I hired Joe and his team to help with my case. From day one I felt very comfortable and confident with my decision. They took time to get to know my case and to help me understand what I would be going through. Beth Powers was wonderful to work with also she helped me when ever I had questions or concerns. I would highly recommend them for any of your needs. Thank you again Joe Miller Team for everything.

Best injury lawyer hands down.
From the start I have been very pleased with the service I have received from Joe Law firm. I have been working with his Paralegal Beth Powers. She is phenomenal. Anytime I have had a question I could email or call her and she would either have an answer for me or get me an answer very quickly. Just goes to show the quality of service you get with Mr. Miller's Law firm. He has a very good Paralegal in Ms. Powers. Highly recommend any and everyone that needs an injury lawyer to make the call to Mr. Miller's Law firm. You will not regret it.

Thank you
So I got exposed at work with Covid-19 in 2021. And working with workers comp doctors and case manager was hell, they wouldn’t listen to anything I was saying just totally ignore things I was say. The moment I got in touch with with Mr. Miller and it’s been very good. My case manager stepped back and I got to see one of the doctors that I needed. If for any reason anyone needs a very good law team please call

Absolute Best Lawyer and Team
Joe Miller, Lisa Hancock and the rest of the JML team are the absolute best in the world! They helped me through a very trying time of my life after my work accident and went above and beyond to ensure that myself and my family were taken care of. They continued to check in even after the case was settled. They were easily accessible for questions and advice throughout my ordeal. If you want a team to fight for you and your rights as an injured worker, then Joe and the rest of the Joe Miller Law team are your absolute best choice! You won't regret that decision! Thank you so much, Joe, Lisa, and team!

Thanks for your help
Recently we urgently needed legal advice on a pressing issue and were so happy to receive immediate help from this office. We walked in to get information on our problem and were greeted by Andrew, who went above and beyond to give us the help we needed in a very courteous and personable way. We give our highest recommendation to both Andrew and Mr. Joe Miller. We really appreciated their care and assistance.

They worked hard for me....
I retained Attorney Joe Miller after I was having issues with worker's comp authorizing treatment for my back injury. He and his associates were diligent and worked hard on my behalf, and I received the treatment I needed. Unfortunately, I had a medical complication arise that could have killed my case. Still, we persevered and I was awarded a very substantial settlement. I will be forever grateful for their guidance during this very trying time...

Gratitude
Joe Miller and his team are the best hands down. When I was in a car accident last June, there was no way I could afford my emergency bills or a chiropractor. But with Joe’s help, all my bills were covered and I received additional compensation. His team are amazing. Lisa helped me through every step of the case. She reassured me when I needed it and responded quickly to my emails. Andrew was extremely knowledgeable and was patient when answering all of the questions that I had. I'm grateful to everyone at Joe Miller Law. They took a lot of stress off my shoulders and I was extremely happy with the outcome of my case. If you are injured, I would definitely recommend Joe Miller Law to handle your case. You won't be disappointed.

What a team !!!!!!
Joe and his staff were extremely helpful to my case. They were easy to communicate with and explained everything in lamen terms so I could understand what the workers comp company was doing. It was 4 years of pain and suffering for me after my accident and Joe and his team gave me the support I needed to get through it. They handled all the legal problems so I could focus on my health and getting better. I can't thank them enough for being by my side and treating me like family.
