The Best!

Let me start by saying that I absolutely recommend hiring Mr. Miller. I have zero regrets in hiring him and his firm and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to him! I was referred to him by another attorney. From the get-go, Mr. Miller was honest and direct in his consultation. He allowed me ...to ask him all the questions I had and showed genuine empathy. He provided me with support and advice to make my case stronger, before even proceeding with the application filing. During my immigration process, he was personally available to answer all my questions, even during his vacation. He did a wonderful job keeping me sane throughout the whole process and worked efficiently with my divorce lawyer. His job was to put all the chances on my side to get my status sorted out and he accomplished that and beyond! He is a genuine person who truly cares about his clients before financial gain. I will hire him time and time again and will recommend him to anyone who asks. I wish there were more people like him in the world. I even ran into a friend of mine who turned out to be an old client of his(from 20 years ago) and she raved about his work. Excellent work ethic, timely replies, and great sense of empathy! Keep it up!

Mister

I'll say it plain from the get-go: I wouldn't still be in this country without George Miller. When he told me nearly ten years ago that he would get me my Green Card, he meant it, and two years later, I'm on my way to being a naturalized citizen. Again, with his help. George and his associates are... indispensable when it comes to navigating the vast and often confusing labyrinth of immigration law and procedures in the United States. I could have done so myself, but would I have been able to guarantee success like George did to me? Would it have taken a matter of months, or more likely years? Unlikely, and likely, in that order. Not only that, but George is proactive and compassionate when it comes to his clients. He'll ride you if he has to, making sure that you're meeting him halfway, and he'll ask what you're up to and how you've been, your family and your kids, because it's clear that he cares. Every bloodsucking lawyer joke you've heard, I can honestly say I can't apply them to George. If that were the case, he wouldn't have arranged a payment plan from me that stretched out to over a year. All because he knew I was a near-broke immigrant and couldn't afford lump sum payments. That's the kind of man he is. Understanding, honorable, and knows his stuff in eight different directions. I cannot recommend him enough, and have been giving out his name and card to fellow newcomers to the Unite States for the best part of a decade. He's just that good, and one consultation with him will show you I'm right.

Best Lawyer

I could not be more happy with George. My last lawyer cost $150 more, and needed soooo much paperwork faxing back and fourth. He did not show up in court for me and then cost me an extra $450 and points on my license. I had such a bad experience. George did not require any paperwork. He got my whole ...situation taken care of before the court date even came up. He called and genuinely tried to learn about me to help the case. I would only recommend George. He was on top of everything and super nice and helpful. Seriously the best experience. I had no points on my license and felt completely comfortable.
