Truly Exceptional Immigration Attorney

My husband and I are incredibly grateful to have worked with Attorney Robert Milla and his wonderful team on my marriage based green card process. From the very beginning, Robert made everything feel calm, clear, and manageable which is exactly what you need when navigating a process as important and... emotional as immigration. What stood out to us most was Robert’s attention to detail and genuine compassion. He walked us through every step, ensured we understood what was needed, and prepared all of our documents so thoroughly that we felt confident going into our interview. He answered every question with patience and kindness, and always made us feel supported rather than overwhelmed. Robert also helped us prepare for the interview in the most thoughtful way, practicing with us, highlighting what to expect, and giving us the peace of mind we didn’t even realize we needed. His expertise and guidance were absolutely invaluable. This experience can be stressful and uncertain, but working with Robert made us feel protected and in the very best hands. It’s rare to find a lawyer who is not only highly knowledgeable and professional but also truly cares about his clients as people. We cannot recommend Robert and the entire Milla & Associates team enough. If you are looking for someone to advocate for you with genuine heart and dedication, this is the firm you want in your corner.

Outstanding Attorney

We had the absolute best experience working with Attorney Robert Milla and his legal assistant Izela. Our marriage-based green card case was handled with incredible care, precision, and professionalism. Robert is meticulous—he caught details we would have easily overlooked and made sure every part of... our case was as complete and thorough as possible. What meant the most to us was how personally invested he was in our success. He even made time to accompany us to our weekend interview, going above and beyond to make sure we felt supported. By the end of the process, it truly felt like we had a trusted friend by our side—someone who genuinely cared about the outcome. Robert is not just a brilliant immigration attorney; he’s also a kind, compassionate person who is deeply dedicated to his clients. We really could not have done this without him, and we’re beyond grateful for his guidance, hard work, and heart. If you’re looking for someone who will advocate for you with both expertise and genuine care, Attorney Milla is the person you want on your team.

Green Card Approved!

Highly recommend Attorney Milla! He and his assistant, Izela, made our green card application process as smooth and stress-free as an adjustment of status can be. Incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. We’re so grateful for his help!

Great immigration attorney

I reached out to Milla & Associates to help me in getting my green card back in 2020-2022. My lawyer was Robert Milla. My case was such a complicated one as my husband was still waiting on his citizenship and I was in removal proceedings and out of status. He represented us on the day of the intervie...w and also on my court date in immigration court. I got approved the same day after many years of waiting. Mr. Milla has a great sense of humor. Navigating the immigration system is not easy nor funny, but Mr. Milla knows how to ease the situation with a joke here and there, all while providing exceptional services. Fast forward to 2025, Mr Milla represented me during my citizenship process in winter-spring 2025. I got my citizenship fast and I was confident during the process because I knew I have the best immigration lawyer in Chicagoland by my side. I am now a proud US Citizen all thanks to Milla & Associates.

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.
