A family law attorney with gusto!

Ms. Miller affords you her expertise as a Judge, State Legislator, Educator, Attorney, and Parent for your court matters. Her understanding of family law provided me an attorney who listened, and explained all matters that would be forthcoming in my divorce case based on the outcome I had desired w...hen we first met. Ms. Miller is well versed in the courtroom and continually reads cases and situations, keeping them at the ready when needed for your case. Ms. Miller successfully defended me in a very complex family law case that had all elements of a bad and difficult divorce with many accusations being presented to the court. Each accusation was dissected, questioned openly in the courts, and dismissed by the courts. Her successful representation gave me immediate access to my child, and a voice in the legal system that made opposing attorneys and Judges pay attention to. While waiting on my case to be heard, I have witnessed Ms. Miller assist younger attorneys in the courtroom on proper protocol, and coach them on procedure and direction. She is not only passionate about her clients but also passionate about the law. You cannot receive any better legal representation in family law than Phyllis Miller.

Best Attorney in Gwinnett County!

After spending the past four years in and out of the courtroom with my ex-husband, I finally found the BEST Attorney!! Phyllis Miller was highly recommended to me through other lawyers in the community. Ms. Miller's years of experience as an attorney and a former judge shows in the courtroom! Phyl...lis always answered my emails and/or phone calls promptly. She was fantastic at keeping me up to date on any information that I needed regarding my case. Phyllis went above and beyond for what was best for me and my children. She knows what she is doing and will Fight to Get You a Great Outcome! I recommend Phyllis Miller to anyone who needs a dedicated, knowledgeable, and experienced attorney.

Beating the odds... hire Phyllis Miller

This Itailian gal has spunk and passion. If you'd like to hire one of the best, I highly recommend this lawyer. She helped me get my kids and my house in my divorce proceedings. After watching her in the court room I gave her the nickname Barracuda. You would have to see it to understand it. I a...m lucky enough to be one of the 2% of men....thanks to Phyllis Miller...hire her, you'll see...she is worth every penny. :-)

Not Recommended

I hired Phyllis for $3,000 to represent me at a hearing, to which she failed to show up. I sent several emails to which she never responded. I have records of this. I called her office and left messages for her, and she would not return my phone call. It was like she became incognito. She did not... attend the very hearing I hired her to address. Because of her failure to show up at my hearing, I was forced to hire yet another attorney, to represent me after the fact. I paid her $3,000, and she did absolutely nothing but file her entry of appearance with the court. As a former client of Phyllis Millers, I would not recommend her.

An elated and extremely satisfied client!

I was married to a very vengeful, vindictive, ruthless and grudgeful woman and her family. They invented all types of charges and allegations against me, disrupting my child, family, friend's, lives and job. I was at my witts end, when, a highly recommend attorney, name Phyllis Miller came into my l...ife. Phyllis proved to be a master-craftsman at her profession. She was skillful, artistic, proficient, accomplish in her arguements in my defense. Ms. Miller did her homework on my case, she showed due diligence and kept me totally informed. Thru her hard work and persistence, I was extremely grateful with the outcome of my trial. I strongly recommend Phyllis and would trust her with my life.
