Mr. Miller is kind, compassionate, and competent.

Mr. James Miller is kind, compassionate, competent, knowledgeable, and responsive. He stays right on top of things until he gets what he needs for his clients. He keeps us informed. He always goes the extra mile to do the best he can do for us. He's not satisfied until he feels in his heart of hearts... he has the best resolution. He won't give up! He's energetic and stays on task. Mr. Miller is brilliant and knows the law. He is very "client oriented" and I know he gave his all for my daughters case. I would definately recommend him and hire him again should the need arise.

"I have known James Miller since 1996 when I would oppose him in the courtroom. Jim was a phenomenal prosecutor: very thorough in his case preparation; very aggressive in representing the interests of the State of Georgia / City of Atlanta; and very knowledgeable about the law. I am elated to learn that Jim is now a criminal defense lawyer. Mr. Miller should be on the short list for individuals seeking an experienced litigator for criminal defense representation. I highly endorse James Miller."

"The ideal lawyer is one who passionately advocates for his client while remaining calm, cool, and collected with a strong sense of right and wrong. This also describes Jim Miller. As former coworkers, I was always able to rely on him for advice and guidance on difficult or complex cases. Because of his extensive legal knowledge and experience and kind and calm demeanor, I highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney."
