STAY AWAY FM HER! A BIG RIP-OFF/VERY CORRUPT/A MONEY HUNGER!!!

1) Do NOT believe the review. She pays people to write it. I was offered by JoAnna credit to write a positive review, but I refused it. Her bill is EXCESSIVE, UNREASONABLE AND PADDED 2) On 8/27/15 initial meeting, she invited a junior attorney, Jill Byers, to take notes and charged me at $600/hr w...ithout even telling me. I was being charged $3,000 for 5 hrs meeting and threatened me if I did not pay ASAP, she would not represent me at the hearing. 3) At the hearing, she even asked Jill Byers to delivered the paper and charged me $1,250 for the service though i have never requested Jill to represent me. During the hearing lunch time, i was charged $900 to have lunch with her. 4) She asked Heather to make a huge stack of copies (she herself did not even know what was it) and charged me $570. Secondly, she is an extremely weak litigator, always look for extra excuses to charge clients. I eventually dismissed her. If you need a strong good reasonable attorney representing you, please find somewhere else.

This former client filed a complaint with the State Bar of Georgia alleging all the same facts. The Bar dismissed it completely. Following that dismissal, this former client filed a fee dispute with the Fee Dispute Arbitration Department of the Bar. Upon receiving our written response and exhibits demonstrating what actually occurred, the Arbitration Department dismissed her complaint without a hearing. We have never double billed this client. The worked billed to this client was all new and independent work. Her case was very time intensive. We also gave the client numerous credits when possible and tried to work with her on her bill as much as we could.

Overcharging

I hired the Millard Law Firm, and Marcy Millard is an excellent attorney!! I spoke with Joanna, the receptionist, several times. She was quick-tempered and discourteous. During this time, I was told that I had an $800 credit, and I needed to replenish my retainer fee because I had a pending court ...date. I have documentation that states my bill has been paid in full. I have numerous unanswered questions regarding my case, especially billing issues. Joanna told me that there were fees that she forgot to add to my bill, which resulted in my account being drained. In addition to padding the bill, she also double-billed me for various services and charged me for a processor server that was not needed. She also told me that I could not speak to Marcy directly because an $800 credit was not sufficient to have a short conversation with her. I paid the second installment fee of $2500, and I was still unable to speak with Marcy after I made that payment. The only two times that I was able to speak with my attorney in-depth was during the initial consultation and the day of court.

I am unsure who wrote this review. The numbers do no match with any client I can find and I do not show up to court without at least speaking to a client to prepare the client for what will happen. I welcome the client to contact me to discuss their issues. I would like to have the opportunity to resolve any outstanding concerns.

Love The Millard Firm

I am a client of The Millard Firm and I think this office is amazing. I hire the firm during a time of doubt and little faith and they assisted me, calmed me, and kept me informed throughout the case. Marcy and Jill met with me prior to every major date to make sure that I was aware of each step. Hea...ther always made sure to keep me posted on the process that was happening when I wasn't in court and has consistently provided me with the most up to date paperwork and other necessary documents. Johana took my phone calls,heard me when I was worried...then talked me off a ledge! The Millard Firm continues to assist me through unknowns that come up. This firm is a tight ship! I am more than happy with my results!

Best law firm and team to handle my case.

My case was handled swiftly from the beginning till the end. Marcy & Jill and all the ladies in the team updated me constantly. They also anticipated problems that might come up if I start up wrong in the case before I decide to proceed. They both gave me options which resulted amazingly quicker than... I anticipated. Although my case involved that I can be emotional with regards to going back and forth with my questions and emails they didn't try to suppress it but they let me express myself on the case. More power to the ladies team of Millard Law:)

Professional Law Firm - Highly Recommended !!

Marcy Millard, Jill Byers and the entire staff at the Millard Law Firm worked tirelessly to defend me in a case that lasted over a year. I was completely satisfied with the final outcome of my case and would highly recommend the team. You will find them to be honest, caring, responsive and extremel...y knowledgeable in their field !!

"Marcy is passionately committed to the best interest of her clients. In addition to her technical skills as an attorney, Marcy has the unique ability to be understanding of the emotional drain a divorce causes to her client while at the same time providing her clients with an honest and practical assessment of the legal options available (or not available as the case may be). Her clients know she is their advocate, and they also know she will tell the truth about their options. I highly recommend Marcy as an attorney."

"I see firsthand everyday how Marcy truly cares for her clients and works diligently to get each and every client the right result for his or her situation. Not only does Marcy want the best for her clients, she is genuinely concerned about the children who are involved in divorce and child support matters. Marcy often works as a guardian ad litem in cases that other lawyers handle to provide the courts with insights into how the children may be affected by a divorce proceeding. Marcy is also involved with Visions Anew, a non-profit organization that helps those who are going through a divorce cope with a life-changing process."
