TOP NOTCH REPRESENTATION
I lost my house, due to an odd probate situation. Attorney Miller listened to my story, then set about finding a way to recoup a portion of what I'd invested in the home that was taken from me.

Replied last August 15, 2020Thank you Zoey. It was a pleasure working with you and I am happy I was able to help you. Getting subpoenas issued from the out of state court was interesting for me, as well as figuring out the law in that state (different from Florida and mostly based on 200+ year-old case law).
