This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

No ones “fave lawyer”

Presents information to the court as fact when she has zero objective data to back it up. Seems to me she is bringing her personal and political views into the courtroom instead of the truth and the law. Blatantly biased during my case. Maybe she should spend less time taking selfies and actually do... her job. I feel terrible for anyone who has her court appointed to their case.

Exceptional Professionalism and Quality Representation

Mrs. Miller's litigation services were nothing short of exceptional. I was falsely accused of abduction, assault, unlawful use of a firearm, and hit and run. Due to the lack of evidence defense presented by Mrs. Miller the prosecutor moved to nolle prosequi the case (meaning that they decline to pro...secute) and the judge granted the prosecutor's motion and my case was dismissed. Mrs. Miller also advised me on how to proceed on an additional emergency risk order case that I chose to represent myself on. Based on Mrs. Miller guidance with that case, it was also dismissed without prejudice. Mrs. Miller was easily and readily available / reachable throughout the duration of this ordeal which lasted approximately 4 months. I would certainly recommend Mrs. Miller to anyone needing legal representation.

I recently sought legal representation from Pia Miller for a case that resulted in a nolle prosequi. I want to express my appreciation for the comprehensive support and guidance provided by Pia. Pia exhibited professionalism, responsiveness, and an unwavering commitment to protecting my rights an...d patiently addressing any concerns or questions I had. I highly commend Ms Pia for legal expertise, dedication, and ethical approach. I would recommend their services to anyone seeking legal representation, knowing they will receive exceptional support. Thank you again to Pia Miller and the team for their support during a challenging time.

Best Lawyer!

Pia, an exceptional lawyer, provided me with expert guidance and support throughout the process of drafting a prenuptial agreement. Her extensive knowledge of family law, meticulous attention to detail, and commitment to fairness instilled in me complete confidence in her abilities. Pia's transparent... communication, adherence to ethical standards, and dedication to crafting a comprehensive and equitable agreement were truly impressive. Thanks to her, I now enter into marriage with peace of mind, knowing that my financial interests are protected while respecting my partner's rights. I wholeheartedly recommend Pia for individuals in need of a lawyer for a prenuptial agreement or any family law matter. She delivers unparalleled professionalism and legal expertise with a compassionate and client-centered approach.
