Best of the best!!!!

Robert is fantastic and very professional. He also treats his clients like family.He took the time to get to know my situation and explained everything good and bad.From the moment I first meet him, he was respectful, kind, and 100% truthful. He will not fill your head with promises that are not true.... What I liked best about him is that he understands the laws and follows them to the letter! He answered every email and questions I had within a timely manner and in general was great to work with.Also his rates where reasonable.I would recommend anyone to him. Thank you so much for being such a great help!

Robert Mila is the most skilled

Robert Milla is the most skilled and knowledgeable immigration attorney I have ever had. I strongly recommend Robert Milla to anyone who needs any immigration help. During the years I had a whole bunch of immigration lawyers whose only concern was the money but not the outcome of my case. Robert was ...different. I had a very complicated and almost impossible case to win. He gave me the support I needed and every time I wanted to give up he stood by me and encouraged me to continue. At the end, I WON!!!! Thank you Robert! You were great….. I have no words to express the joy that your skills and support brought to my family. Now, I am a permanent resident because you never gave up on me even though I am sure that my case was one of the hardest you ever got in your career. THANK YOU!!!!!

Highly recommend Robert.

My husband and I worked with Robert Milla to assist us throughout my permanent residence status and it was the best decision that we ever made. We appreciated the initial free consultation which created a no pressure opportunity for us to see if the working relationship would be a good fit. From t...he beginning his knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to us was what set him apart from other immigration attorneys. Robert made us feel extremely comfortable and was always available to answer any questions along the way (almost always within a day). He also did a great job keeping us informed throughout the entire process. In the end, we were very impressed on how fast our case was approved! Highly recommend Robert.

Great and very knowledgeable attorney

It is with great pleasure that I write this review for Robert Milla, as he is precious and comforting to work with. He offered me free consultation; which was very informative and help me understand my options. He is expert, professional, decent, respectful, humble and trust-worthy. I feel so gratefu...l and blessed to know him and work with him in my case. He is very knowledgeable and informed me with all I needed to know and what to expect in my case. During the time of my case, he kept me fully informed, and responded to all my questions and concerns through phone and emails. He prepared the case accurately and prepared me very well to what to expect in my interview. My case was approved without any delays. I have already recommended him without hesitation to my family and friends and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an immigration case attorney.

great lawyer!

I needed help with a complicated immigration case for my family (parents-in-law and myself). Robert was very knowledgeable, culturally sensitive and courteous. He is very easy to deal with and seems to be a great person overall. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is seeking help with obtaining ...a green card.

Avvo Rating

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.
