This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I could have not gone with a better attorney to represent my case.

I cannot say enough good things about attorney Jody.  I initially called Jody on Saturday at 9 AM and got a call back from her by 1 PM. As with legal matters, it was very important to me to be represented by someone I could reach any time it was needed. She was upfront with her fees, and there was n...o retainer until she spoke with the opposing counsel and it was certain she could help me. As promised, I got a call the Monday that followed, and she started representing me.The outcome, Jody helped me navigate and survive the divorce and saved me thousands of dollars on my settlement.Why Jody was a good fit for me:  -Jody was recommended by two other attorneys -- that said a lot to me! -When we first spoke on the phone, her personality type came across clearly, and I knew we would work well together. -Jody knew the opposing counsel-She was more than fair on her fees. I never felt she was overcharging -She was very straightforward with me -- which helped me let go of the trivial things I wanted to fight for that would have ended up costing more on attorney fees. -I am very organized and proactively provided everything needed to work on the financial figures of the settlement.  -I let her do her job. Most of the time, she would be updating me on the progress every few days. -There was no drama, and I never had to deal with the opposing counsel or the divorcing spouse.  I could have not gone with a better attorney to represent my case. Jody has my seal of approval.

Not a good choice!

I recently decided to use Jody Miller for my divorce. I cannot recommend her as an advocate for mens rights. She constantly pushed me to settle my case. She was easily frustrated and automatically believed what the other side claimed (even though not true). My representation with Jody Miller was ...terminated and it was the best thing that happened for me in my divorce. I ended up getting a much better settlement in my favor than I would have had I listened to Jody and taken the settlement offer she pushed me to take. Either she doesn't push hard for men's rights or easily intimidated by other lawyers. I would select other representation if I were you!

Excellent attorney for divorce/family law

Jody is the best lawyer you can ever get in the area of family law. After having a really bad experience with my previous lawyer I was very grateful for having found Jody and availing her excellent legal counsel services. She is very knowledgable and where she thinks she does not know, she quickly a...nd diligently finds out the latest applicable legal details. She charges very fairly for her services, my prior lawyer wanted a $5,000 retainer after already taking $750 for which he did nothing. Jody after seeing the latest about my case went ahead and took care of my divorce, billing me for only 3 hours. She was very responsive to my every query and called my phone or answered my calls and emails very promptly every time. I cannot thank Jody enough for her help and wish her all the best and recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs a divorce attorney

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've had the privilege of working with Jody on several issues over the past few years, and I refer clients to Jody for various family law matters, including divorces. Given her years of experience, it is no surprise that she knows all the "in"s and "out"s of this highly techical area of law. She gets results for her clients due to her expertise, as well as the fact that she extremely well respected adversary among her peers. Jody's experience gives her to wisdom to know when she needs to be aggressive, and when to be collaberative, and it all is based on her client's best interest. One of the reasons I feel comfortable referring friends in need to Jody is because I know she will communicate with them and keep them informed through out what is a very emotional and difficult process. She returns her clients phone calls, and although she's done thousands of divorces, she never forgets that for her clients, their particular divorce is new, painful, and scary."
