Alimony Dispute

I was very happy with the outcome of me contacting Todd Miller regarding an alimony dispute. He and his assistant Nicole were prompt in responding to my questions and needs. Very professional and explained everything. The process was very easy. Since I haven’t needed a lawyer post divorce it can be s...ome what intimidating. It all went smoothly and quickly. I would definitely recommend his services!

Professional, thorough, and committed to clients

Todd did an excellent job maintaining follow through on an extended process. He is thorough, deliberate, professional, and ethical in his approach to cases. He is forthcoming and transparent when discussing possible outcomes, and provides timely follow-up to questions/inquiries either in person, by... phone or email. I developed complete confidence and trust in Todd’s counsel, & would recommend him without hesitation.

Exactly What I needed

I retained Todd for my divorce and I could not have made a better choice. He was prompt and factual, yet sensitive and delicate when needed. My divorce was nearly effortless and complete in record time. Since my divorce I have needed further assistance and Todd and his staff are a call or email aw...ay at all times. I will use him again for any matter related to custody and would recommend him to anyone going through divorce.

Professional, honest and attentive

Todd was recommended to me by a friend and he proved to be a great choice. He was open and honest every step of the way through my divorce, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. He kept me centered on what was important, and also fought for things that were important to me. He helped me let g...o of things that weren't worth fighting for, and was realistic about negotiations and outcomes. Sometimes the divorce process seems like it is being drug out by the attorneys so they can make more money, but I never got that from Todd. The process took longer that hoped, but Todd always kept up on his responsibilities, and was always prompt when communicating with me. I would highly recommend him!

Honesty, trustworthy and sincere concern for his clients.

I hired Mr. Miller when I was unable to hire his partner. I thought I was "getting the next best thing" however in my opinion, I ended up with the BEST! Mr. Miller took a sincere interest in my situation and advised me during a time of marital crisis, including domestic violence. He had the wisdom ...to guide me in the direction of what was in my best interest, and when I was unsure of a decision to make, he displayed patience and did not push. In the very beginning, my safety was his highest priority, including spending an entire day in court the day after I hired him, to ensure that I was safe and protected by the courts. Mr. Miller was extremely thorough in his explanations and displayed utmost tolerance with regard to my insatiable curiosity and constant desire to understand the legal process within the court system, which essentially had taken over my life temporarily. He was punctual, thorough and highly organized. He expressed gratitude and took no offense when, on one occasion, I took it upon myself to research a particular issue that resulted in Mr. Miller changing his course of action and expediting a particular motion. Mr. Miller was truthful and accurate, to the extent that one can be within the realm of court proceedings, with regard to how long the process would take. When opposing counsel was slow to move or respond, let alone complete papers that were her responsibility, Mr. Miller stepped up to the plate and proceeded in an effort to finish my proceedings as swiftly as possible, including doing the research and paperwork himself. In the end, I feel that the judge made decisions that were fair but highly in my favor, due to Mr. Miller’s overall professionalism, preparedness and diligence. After all was said and done, I also hired him to do my will and power of attorney. Heaven forbid I ever need another attorney, but in the event I do, I will be hiring Mr. Miller.
