I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I was going through an extremely difficult and stressful financial time in my life, and I was unsure what my options were. I was not wanting to file a bankruptcy at this time, so I was unsure if there was anything, I could do to stop a creditor from garnishing my wages. I was provided helpful, cari...ng, professional advice and guidance. I was able to resolve my financial hardship without filing a bankruptcy. I would highly recommend Miller & Miller Law!

Hands Down The Best Bankruptcy Attorney James Miller

I retained Attorney James Miller for my bankruptcy. Never in my life have I met a professional who is so articulate, knowledgeable, professional, personable, and most of all, reasonable. My bankruptcy case was very difficult. I have many properties prior to the 2008 Great Recession and had creditors ...still hound me after 10 years. Mr. Miller has a professional staff and has a five star system where his support staff makes the bankruptcy process very streamlined and easy. I hired three other bankruptcy attorneys over the years to no avail where eventually they could not help me. Mr. Miller and his Office Manager Nicole Thompson fully explained all of my questions during my free consultation. Manager Nicole Thompson is always on top of things. Both Attorney Miller and Manager Nicole Thompson always return calls and emails promptly. I fully highly recommend the Law Offices of Miller and Miller of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Hands down, you will never meet a team of professionals who take pride in helping consumers get a fresh start with their financial life. FIVE PLUS STARS AND MORE. Keep up the great work James Miller and Team. There are no words to express my gratitude for Attorney James Miller, Nicole Thompson, and the team at Miller and Miller Attorneys at Law.

When I came to Miller & Miller, I felt ashamed that I had to file a bankruptcy. But everyone at the firm made me feel comfortable. I would recommend Miller& Miller to anyone who is considering this tough decision.

Goes the extra mile!

Attorney James Miller is understanding and knowledgeable. I was very nervous going in to the process, and concerned about my future credit if I filed a case. From start to finish, Attorney Miller had an answer for everything I was worried about. The process was organized and my case was filed quic...kly. When I called the office with questions, Attorney Miller was available to me but I was also able to things answered by Wendy, Frank, Tim - the staff definitely makes it a point to know what is going on with people's cases which made me feel very calm. I am past my first hearing and looking forward to the credit programs I can use when my case is done. I haven't felt this hopeful in a long time. If you are stuck in debt and don't know how to get out, you can trust Attorney Miller and his staff to show you the way!

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.
