Hired this guy to do the most simple of tasks...write a letter, forward a copy of a Will to my late spouse's family members, and draw up a new Will for myself. He sent me an email stating he had sent the letters and forwarded the Will. After several weeks, I called to see when he and I could meet ...up to draw up my Will, as I had already paid for all these services. He didn't return my initial call, so I called back a couple of days later. He picked up the phone and yelled at me, " Where's the fire!" Then told me he'd get to it eventually, stating "I'm busy!" He never called or reached out, and he never drew up my Will, despite having been paid for it. About two months later the Sheriff beat on my front door because the Will he stated that he had forwarded to family was never actually forwarded and the family and their attorney couldn't get Jon to return a single phone call or email, so they had to get a court order for a copy of my late spouses Will and had papers served on me. I finally got in touch with Jon myself whose response was, " Well, I thought I sent it." He also never filed my late spouses Will with the courts because it required him to drive 20 minutes to do so. He was just waiting on when it was convenient for him. It had been months at this point. I had to hire another attorney who handled everything perfectly within 3 days time. Jon never refunded the money I had paid, although he didn't perform the tasks he was hired to do. I have since discovered he has a longstanding reputation for doing these very things in the legal circle in Athens and surrounding counties. This was my experience dealing with Jon Mills. I found this man to be extremely unprofessional and dishonest in his dealings with me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
