DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY

I hired Ms Miller last year to take on my child custody case that have been going on for about a year and a half already. I told her how I had to fire my last lawyer because he failed to do his job he wasn't meeting with me he would ignore my calls he would not respond back to me I couldn't get a hol...d of him he would flake out on our meetings so I fired him. She made me many promises that oh no she was not like this and that she would be sure to respond back to me she wouldn't leave me hanging that you would fight for me and I was excited about everything because I finally found somebody to understood where I was coming from. This is my trial date this is the most important date of my case that she has completely blown off I haven't heard from Kathleen Miller and 4 months. I go by the office the office is closed just like everybody else says I make phone calls with phone calls and the numbers are disconnected or they go straight to voicemail even the numbers that are less on the door to contact her or not the right numbers because she doesn't respond back to you. About 2 months ago she asked me about some billing statement I told her I moved I sent her the correct address as a matter of fact I've sent her two addresses and the paperwork never came through it either one I've been constantly asking constantly calling constantly texting with no response to be completely ignored. She completely left me hanging and left my child custody case which was at the most serious point which is trial just open. I told her 4 almost six months now that I was ready to go to trial and I haven't had a trial date yet he was supposed to put in paperwork didn't put in paperwork was supposed to send me paperwork never sent me paperwork. And right now I don't have any way to contact her she doesn't have an office and she doesn't respond to the number that I had or the number that was left on the door for us to contact her. She turned around and did the same thing my last lawyer did to me and screwed me over and probably even worse because it's during trial. I had one more court date to be able to see my daughter and get my rights back on a case that has been going on for almost 3 years. This is completely unprofessional and I've never met a more disrespectful and considerate attorney in my entire life. She absolutely ruined my life and ruined my chances of getting my daughter back this will be the third summer I miss this will be my third birthday that we don't get to celebrate together, I've already missed three of my daughters birthdays. All because this woman is a liar and a fake.

To good to be true

When I first met with Kathleen in 2021. I was super excited that my case would finally be taken seriously and someone would fight for me. After a few months of no contact I reached out to her office for an update. phones had been shut off Door is always locked. Voicemail is full. I had an appointmen...t this morning took off work for this appointment and guess what NO SHOW on her behalf. Office is dark door is locked and haven’t heard a single thing. Looks like the hunt for a good lawyer continues.

Leaving One Star is More Than She Deserves

An honest review from an ex-employee: I worked for Wolf Miller Law when Kathleen Miller took over Themis Law Group. The owner talks a great game and comes across like she cares only to talk about you behind your back and belittle your worth by telling everyone lies to make herself look good. She ...will constantly show up late for court or meetings with clients and sometimes not show up at all. You will be left to deal with angry clients, opposing counsel, and judges because she is late or doesn't show up only to find out later she claims her staff didn't put it on her calendar, even though it was clearly there and you reminded her multiple times when and where to go. This happens so often, that some of the judges will still have hearings despite her not being there for her clients. She will not accept personal responsibility for anything she does and will dissappear for hours at a time with no contact. When she actually meets with or talks to the clients on the phone she will tell them whatever they want to hear long enough to keep them happy and not threaten to take their money back and go elsewhere. You will do 90% of the work and she will never look it over for weeks at a time until clients are angry only for her to ask why it hasn't been done yet. She constantly forgets who clients are, why she represents them, or what she is supposed to be doing for them. She also gives paperwork meant for a client to the wrong client all the time. You will get paid weekly but there's always a chance your check will bounce because she has no self control and will spend thousands of dollars of client's money even if it's unearned. If you're a company that she has services from, good luck getting paid, and on the off chance you DO get paid your check will most likely not clear the bank and she will not make it right. She will just ghost you. She also doesn't pay taxes or report her employee's wages to the IRS and when said employees request their w2 she claims it's "in the mail" but never responds to any follow up phone calls or text messages regarding the status of employee w2s. She doesn't care that she is affecting the lives of her ex-employees just like she doesn't care about her client's lives. Pros: Flexible Paid weekly Long lunches Can work from home sometimes Salaried Cons: No benefits No room for advancement Poor pay Stressful environment Lack of respect Owner is a liar

Very poor experience

I acquired Kathleen Miller as my attorney when Elizabeth Turners law firm was bought out. My case at that time was 2 years old so there was a lot of catching up to do for Kathleen. But there was time and she told me she was very gungho to take my case and get things done. She never answers her phones..., responds to emails, I’ve had it happen numerous times where i would have a scheduled appointment with her and then she wouldn’t make it to the appointment. This is how familiar she got with my case, my child’s name is Rhett and she would refer to him as Brett during court. The morning of court, she told me to be early so we could go over some things. She was 10 minutes late. Looked like she just got out of bed. Smelled like alcohol. And could not carry her things up to the court room. After court, if I needed anything… if getting ahold of her couldn’t have gotten any worse, it did. She practically fell off the face of the earth. I missed out on a opportunity to appeal the judgement because she never would show up to our scheduled appointments or respond to any emails. But she’ll take your money though. This is the worst experience of my life and Kathleen just made it 10 times worse with her unprofessional behavior.
