Outstanding and professional

Outstanding service, took the time to handle everything quickly. First time I needed legal assistance and I was kept well informed the whole process. My experience ended extremely well.

I would HIGHLY recommend Brien Miller!!!

If you are looking for an attorney I would HIGHLY recommend Brien Miller!! Brien was very attentive, professional and very easy going! His trustworthiness made him very easy to confide in and his confidence made me feel very at ease. What stood out most was his meticulous attention to detail. He took... the time to thoroughly review every aspect of my situation, leaving no stone unturned. His ability to explain complex legal jargon in a way that was easy to understand was invaluable, and he consistently kept me informed about my options and the potential outcomes. It was evident he had extensive experience, as he anticipated the prosecution’s moves and crafted a defense strategy that was both aggressive and precise. I could not be happier with the outcome of my case and that was all thanks to Brien. Hopefully he can do the same for you!!!

Best Attorney Out There

Brien was absolutely AMAZING. I felt safe, heard and validated through the entire process of my CPO battle and he couldn't have been more supportive. He's compassionate, savvy and knows exactly what he's doing. Would highly reccomend.

Posted by anonymous | July 06, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Amazing lawyer, we called him our "guardian angel".

I was looking for representation on 3 cases; 2 restraining orders I filed, and to defend me against a retaliatory immediate removal of my child filed by my ex afterwards. My ex and his wife hired a very expensive, high profile criminal lawyer. Two lawyers I consulted with told me I might lose simply ...because they hired this man! I found Brien through the lawyer referral hotline, and I'm so glad I did. Brien smiled at the challenge and accepted all 3 cases for a flat rate. He isn't like the stuffed-shirt, business hours only, charge you for every second, typical law guy. He actually cared about the future of my family. I work long days and he met my schedule by tweaking his own. He kept me informed, updated, and coached me in areas I have little knowledge of (like what to wear to court and the terminology). Our first trial was the immediate removal trial and Brien was flawless in the courtroom! Confident, calm and knew the facts. We won! My ex's lawyer was so angry he yelled at Brien asking if he would be representing me at the next trial and threatened me with a custody trial that didn't exist in front of the magistrate! Brien advised me that my ex could still appeal the verdict, and asked if I still wanted him to represent me for the restraining orders? He offered me many different scenarios and how my money might be better spent if they continued to try to take my daughter? He offered to coach me in representing myself too! I was amazed he didn't jump for the cash. In the end I did represent myself for the restraining orders. It was a beautiful disaster! I lost, but due to my evidence being labelled incorrectly. The ex and spouse had the same high-priced lawyer, so did I really lose? My employment of Brien ended in April, but he still texts updates and checks in with me months later. Brien isn't a lawyer for the money, it is his passion. I would recommend him to everyone I know, except my ex!

Review

I wish I could give ten stars. Mr. Miller handled my daughter’s complicated DUI case. His “legaleze” was top shelf. I was more impressed with his care and compassion for her well-being going forward. There was no discussion about fees or fine print. Available at any day and hour including w...eekend to ask questions and consult and literally cry on his shoulder. Highly recommended!!!!

"Brien is an excellent attorney with life experience outside the practice of law. For twenty years, Brien taught high school social studies and coached. Brien then went to law school at the University of Cincinnati, during which he won the coveted Federal bar Association John W. Peck Trial Practice Award. Brien now defends people accused of crimes and embroiled in school disciplinary disputes in federal court and the state courts of Ohio and Kentucky. I have seen first-hand his tireless work representing his clients."
