If you seek sound and superior legal aid, LOOK NO FURTHER!
I remember sitting in Suesan Miller's office for our first consultation. I was at a low point in my life, to say the least; actually, it was the lowest point I had ever been at in my life. After making the decision to leave an abusive marriage my estranged husband had returned home only to incite an ...

Awesome!
I hired Suesan in March of 2013 for Criminal Defense. My wife attacked me and called the cops on me twice. First in May of 2012, and again in February of 2013. I had another lawyer for the first case but they offered me pretrial intervention so I took it. I was three weeks away from completing th...

Do not hire
She showed up late to every court appearance. She also went behind my back and withdrew my motion for a speedy trial all because she wasnt ready. This has been the second time she wanted to file papers to the court to not represent me because I caught her in lies.
Suesan Miller
Replied last July 26, 2017Randy is correct in that I did have to fire him as a client. It was one of the hardest decisions that I have ever had to make. It is the first time I have ever had to let a client go because we couldn't agree. I returned his retainer in full, even though I had done the work and was ready for a jury trial. When you hire a lawyer you hire them to give you advice and to handle your case. This client refused to listen to anything that I had to say, would not do any of the things I asked him to do to help with his case, filed his own motions when I repeatedly asked him not to. He fought me in every step of his case and did the exact opposite of what he needed to do. If I was in another courtroom with another client (which is why I was late on a few occasions, but everyone including the client and the Judge knew where I was.), he would file more motions and make demands of the Judge. I held on to his case even after these things happened, because I truly believed in his innocence. It just became impossible for me to fight the system and my client at the same time. I wish Randy the best of luck and hope that he receives the outcome he is looking for.

Does not follow up, does not do what she says and does not understand the laws
My son received a super speeder ticket in GA and she represented us. Both before and after getting a call returned or getting items follow up on were impossible. Going in she say the state DDS may send a letter saying the license would be suspended and if so send it to here and she would handle it....

Replied last May 17, 2013I'm truly sorry this client was unhappy with his service from this firm. However, he posted this before his case was even through. I did return his e-mails and I did speak with him on the phone, about this matter. I did ask the Judge to sign the waiver she said No. I then scheduled a specially set, walk in hearing, to plea his case again and to see if I could get the Judge to sign the waiver. We walked into court and we got the waiver signed. I even sent a partial refund to the client when I realized he was unhappy (and before I read this review.) His response was that he was tearing up the check because I really did come through for them in the end. I work very hard for each and every client that I have, and certainly try to the best of my ability to make sure every clients needs are met.
