Review

Brian represented me in a case after no progress had been made with a prior attorney for over a year. Brian enjoys researching legal issues and his research on a couple of legal issues in my case were difference-makers in the final outcome. He effectively used his time in the case to limit my legal... cost and he was solution-oriented, an important trait in resolving my case outside the courthouse.

Quick Results

Brian was great to work with. I thought my case would be long and drawn out however, start to finish it took 4 weeks and ended in my favor!! If you need a lawyer who knows what needs to be done, hire Brian Miller.

Brian's efforts

Brian Miller represented me in a case against us bank and I did win the case not as much as I wanted but he did make sure my money was given back and made them be fair about it.when they tried to offer 2,000 dollars to me Brian wasn't having it.in the end they settled at a fair amount out of court. h...is communication is very good and he is straight to the point.if your wanting something specific ask Brian he won't b.s you by any means.he is a good attorney.the only reason I put a 4 star rating is cause I wanted to go after them for fraud and brian is an attorney that knows his stuff i dont.he advised me cause of certain circumstances the jury most likely would not would be in my favor and we could lose.he did not want me to gamble on that.

great job

Brian is the first lawyer I've worked with for any reason. I hired him to take care of my divorce. I probably could have done it on my own, but it would have taken much longer for me to do it, so I hired Brian to make it easy, and for peace of mind that everything would be done correctly. He also ...worked as a nice buffer between my ex-husband and myself when certain things needed to be communicated. Brian was easy to work with, responsive, and transparent about how things should go. My case was not complicated, but I think he did a great job. I would hire him again.

Excellent experience with a winning attitude!

From beginning to end Brian was on point and inspiring. He thoughtfully and appropriately provided us with excellent and thorough attention. He did not make empty promises and he was not judgmental. He uncovered truths and utilized the law as intended.
