Sherry E. Miller

I have had many attorneys and although I don't feel like my expectations are unreasonable, I do expect the best from my attorney. After leaving my last attorney due to his lack of interest in my case, I contacted Mrs. Miller. I felt great about her after my initial consultation, but when I saw her in... action in the court room she blew me away. Ironically, the attorney we were up against was one I had looked into hiring in the past, and Mrs Miller blew her out of the water. I was so pleased that I retained Mrs. Miller instead. She is SHARP and caught small details with just a glance when exhibits were entered into evidence by opposing counsel.. She built significant arguments out of small details that supported my case. Even if I had lost my case, I felt she represented me perfectly. She made sure everything I wanted to say was said and all evidence I wanted entered was entered. She is extremely professional despite a severe lack in professionalism from other attorneys, yet never backed down from a somewhat rude and at times loud witness. She is organized, takes lots of notes and gets to the point. She doesn't seem to miss a thing. I would change nothing and am very happy to have her on my next case. Lastly, she bills far more fairly than any other attorney I have had. She has really taken a ton of stress off my shoulders and I am so grateful to have had her.

I would not recommend this firm to anybody. Please, take your time to shop around. Besides that you will get overcharged you never get to talk to the attorney unless you make an appointment exclusively for that, keep in mind you are getting charged $250.00 per hour. Everything is through their parale...gals/Assistants, and most of the time they don't relay the messages to the attorneys. At the time of the hearing/trial the attorney will ask you for documents that you have already provided to her paralegal. Their communication is very inefficient. I lost my case, I was given overconfidence that "we would win" and we did not. Attorney Miller is NOT aggressive enough and prolongs everything. You will get charged by the minute, every phone call, every email. I am very disappointed. I have spent about $35,000 and I did not get anything. I am still fighting for child custody.

Ms. Miller was very unattentive to my case. It would take her several business days to respond to my calls and emails. When she did respond she would only address some of my questions. When corresponding with my ex-wives lawyer the letters coming out of her office were very unprofessional and casu...al; they started off with Dear Sally, rather than Dear Mrs. Jones, there were many grammatical errors in the letters-it looked as though no one had taken the time to proof what they had written. My children are being mistreated by my ex-wives live in lesbian lover and she did not seem the least bit concerned with my childrens well being. I hired her thinking I would receive good representation and make my childrens lives better. I paid all the fees she requested hoping to get my case failry represented in court and get my childrens complaints heard, these are not the results I received from Mrs. Miller. It was 2 1/2 months after the temporary custody hearing that I received my copy of the agreement from Ms. Millers office, my ex recived her copy over a month prior to me-seems her lawyer was on top of things. I had to do my own research and send Ms. Miller the links to the NC statues that allow for certian considerations when a member of the US armed forces is involved in a custody/visitation case. I can only guess at why she was so preoccupied when representing me, perhaps she just does not pay attention to detail or maybe she is trying to represent too many clients at one time. If you are looking for a lawyer who is going to give your case the attention and knowledge you need to be well represented in court, I would not recommend using Ms. Miller.
