Last will and Testament

Needed an attorney to help with a legal matter and found the perfect one. Mr. Miller was kind, attentive and understood my need. I would absolutely recommend him. I would use him again.

Attorney

We found ourselves needing so much support with this civil case that we were very overwhelmed. The skills and compassion were so helpful during the process even when it was so challenged by the opposing party.. All the excellent work that went into our case was wise and saved us so much trouble and... money in the big picture. Thanks to Deannie for helping calm our nerves because that certainly helped as well. I would highly recommend Attorney Miller because he really cares for his clients and that results in success.

Competency, and Integrity with Compassion

I contacted the Law Firm of Joshua Miller when I found myself facing a domestic assault charge. From the moment I met Mr. Miller and his assistant; Deannie Robinson, I felt that I had made a good decision in choosing proper representation. Mr. Miller walked me through the process that awaited me in c...ourt, and put me more at ease with the situation. His pricing is upfront, and fair, and he was with me every step of the way. My charges were retired, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. His care, and dedication to my needs were commendable, and I am grateful for his expertise in navigating a difficult situation.

A Future Saved!

Mr. Miller and his legal team recently represented a member of our family in a highly complex case involving multiple charges. He was recommended by a trusted friend who is also an attorney in another state after she spoke with him concerning the case. We are tremendously grateful for that recommenda...tion! I appreciate the need for “due process” in such a case; but in my opinion, this case was high on the radar of the District Attorney’s office. This resulted in their use of numerous legal maneuvers and “tricks” in an attempt to win their case at any cost. Perhaps the phrase, “Every trick in the book” actually applied here. This ultimately resulted in legal actions being taken that were perhaps not unprecedented in Tennessee law, but were extremely rare and, by some accounts, “bizarre”. Through all of this, Mr. Miller’s concern for his client’s legal protection was clearly evident. As complex a legal matter as this was, and with all the maneuvers that were used by the opposing side, he expertly navigated us through the process. He provided highly experienced guidance with a lot of natural intuition in his profession to explain the constantly changing situations, the legal actions from both sides, and the available options to help us make the very critical decisions with respect to his client’s life and future, as well as their emotional well-being. Mr. Miller’s results were significant in terms of his client’s situation throughout the lengthy process. Shortly after he began representing us, he was able to obtain living arrangements that were safer and more conducive to the extensive emotional recovery they required. And most importantly, in the end, the sentence given was night and day from what it likely would have been were it not for Mr. Miller. Instead of a very lengthy prison sentence, that member of our family has the opportunity to create a better future for themselves and their children. We’ll be forever grateful for all that Mr. Miller and his team have done for us!
