Christopher Lawrence Miller's Lawyer Endorsements
"I worked with Christopher Miller on a probate matter. I found him to be an intelligent and compassionate attorney who helps others through difficult times."
"I worked with Christopher Miller as opposing counsel on a family law matter. I found him to be competent, cordial, and responsive. He was diligent and versatile in handling his client's case, which was a fluid and difficult situation at times. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Chris in a trusts and estates practice in a private law office in Manhasset, New York. He is an articulate lawyer. Very smart and a great communicator where it counts, in his papers and in all the representation he provides. The other lawyers and I wish he were still here working with us. His clients in the Greenville Spartenberg and surrounding areas of South Carolina will benefit by his knowledge and professional ability in the law. Highly recommended."
"I endorse Christopher. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
