Steady, Consistent Service Start to Finish

Bobby handled our adoption in 2020. Consistently available to answer questions, helped us navigate the Covid unknowns, and he has a very stable demeanor which was invaluable during the process. Knows the procedure thoroughly. Definitely recommend.

Adoption

Mr. Mills did a great job with our adoption. He was always professional and kept us informed of what to expect. His fees are fair and reasonable. We have adopted twice and used him both times. I would highly recommend him for any adoption.

Excellent experience

Mr Mills was a wonderful attorney for our adoption. He was always available to speak with me and answer all my many questions I had. I had an issue adding my son to our health insurance and within minutes Mr Mills helped me get him added. The adoption process can be scary but with Mr Mills his know...ledge and communication with me made the experience less stressful! If we ever do an adoption again we will most definitely hire him again!

Outstanding Service and Results

Mr. Mills did an amazing job with our adoption. From the very start he was clear on the paperwork we would encounter, the costs, and the timelines. His knowledge and experience in adoptions made the daunting task of navigating legal processes so easy (seeming). My family cannot thank him enough fo...r his support. I highly recommend Bobby Mills Adoption Law.

Exceptional!

Bobby Mills and his staff are the best in the business. Bobby's knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to his clients is beyond reproach. As with any other adoption case, patience is a must. Thankfully Bobby possesses patience in great quantities. His calming and reassuring manner never falte...red and thankfully even rubbed off on my husband and me. There's no doubt in my mind, that without Bobby and his staff, our beautiful children would not have our last name. Thank you for making our family whole and bringing so much joy to our lives.

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.
