The best decision you will ever make!

Robert was handling my process of becoming a permanent resident. Everything went so smooth and fast even with Covid19 going on. Having Robert to represent me, I've made the best possible choice!

5 Stars!

After meeting with multiple lawyers, many of whom seemed not to care about the outcome of our case, or left us feeling confused about the process, we finally found Robert. After my initial consultation with him, I left feeling hopeful and assured of the process. My husband is from England, and we had... faced many long months apart. With Robert's help, we were finally able to start the process to bring him to the United States. Robert and Daniel were incredibly helpful every step of the way, and never made us feel silly for asking questions. Robert clearly outlined the process for us, so we knew exactly what was happening at each step. Our paperwork was completed in a very timely manner. Incredibly, we had a very short wait for our interview and at that time, Daniel and Robert made sure we were prepared. Robert is extremely trustworthy and tells you exactly how it is, which is so refreshing after being yanked around by other lawyers. My husband received his Legal Permanent Resident card in the mail the other day, and we could not be happier! THANK YOU to Robert and his team for their help! We are so grateful!

BEST lawyer, highly recommended

Mr. Robert Milla supported the naturalization case for my husband and me. He is very reliable attorney. With his support, our cases went very smooth without any issues. It took much shorter time than our expectation. We truly appreciate his professional services!!

THE BEST Immigration Attorney

Robert is definitely go-to guy when it comes to immigration cases. My husband and I recently went through the process of marriage-based green card, which we thought it was supposed to be very overwhelming and stressful until we met Robert. He and his assistants made this process easier, less overwhel...ming, and less stressful. As the result, everything went so smoothly, and I got my green card on hand in 4 months since filing. We are so blessed to have Robert as our immigration attorney and can’t thank him enough for giving us very accurate and helpful advice as well as being such a knowledgeable, transparent, authentic, cool, and friendly person who we could rely on throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Milla & Associates, LLC to anyone who is going through immigration case!

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.
