Review

Bobby was wonderful to work with. He helped us through every step of the adoption process. We had a unique and complicated situation, which Bobby handled impeccably and we are so thankful to have worked with him!

Excellent Service. Extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with.

. Mr. Mills is an extremely competent attorney. He provides just the right balance of expertise, professionalism and personal engagement. We are very happy with the services he is providing for us . He explained that the time frame of adoptions vary, and so far, everything seems to be on schedule.

Excellent service for adoption of my stepchild

Mr. Mills was exceptional to work with. He was exceedingly professional, patient and helpful throughout our working with him. He made sure we had all of the information we needed to make decisions and made sure we were able to do what we set out to accomplish in our adoption without any hiccups. Adop...ting my stepson involved a lot of learning and documentation, and in fact, Mr. Mills went above and beyond to make sure it happened as quickly as it could and in a very positive way. I would recommend using Mr. Mills and Mills Adoption Law for anyone who needs help with adoption. Very reasonably priced, with top-notch, excellent service. Thank you again!

Quick Answers on a Tight Deadline

Bobby went above and beyond to help me quickly finalize documents needed to wrap up my two adult adoption cases. He was very knowledgeable about the requirements and made sense of what can be very complicated paperwork. I'm happy that I found him and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
