Winning Team

I began the divorce process in October of 2021. At the time, I had different counsel. Nearly a year into the saga, I was referred to Aaron through another family law attorney. Once I hired Aaron, I knew I had the right attorney. My case was very high conflict. Aaron would ask my thoughts and idea...s on the best way to navigate all the roadblocks that were thrown our way. Aaron was always calm. He was a voice of reason. He would ask questions to ensure he understood what I needed. Aaron did not always agree with me. When we didn’t agree, he explained his position and the most likely outcome. He was quick to return emails or phone calls. I could count on a response within 24-48 hours. My case ultimately ended up at trial. I appreciated Aaron’s honesty and integrity throughout the entire process. He was very thoughtful with all of the motions and exhibits he presented to the Court, as he understood the Court does not have a lot of time to spend on each case. At trial, Aaron was able to take hundreds of pages of information and display them on a spreadsheet that was easy for everyone, including the judge, to understand. During the first day of trial, the Judge held up Aaron’s spreadsheet specific to alimony. It detailed previous martial expenses, current expenses and predicted expenses. The Judge shook it above his head while exclaiming that is how it should be done! While making his ruling, the Judge once again commented how helpful Aaron’s presentation was in determining alimony. Aaron was always in control: control of himself, control of the room, control of the issues, control of the evidence. Aaron was able to get me full physical and legal custody of my 16 year old, he successfully negotiated that she determine parent time and secured more alimony than I ever wanted or expected. Aaron and I made a great team. Normally I would approach Aaron with a solution to the latest problem. Aaron was always open to my ideas; he wasn’t threatened by my involvement. I had some ideas that were unconventional but checked off all of the boxes when it came to the law. Aaron was willing to advocate for me even though he didn’t know what the outcome would be. Aaron was very methodical. He was not ego driven. Aaron did what was best for his client, not what was the easiest or most popular. Whether he agreed with me or not, Aaron would always hear me out. My prior counsel dismissed me even when I had what ultimately became the winning strategy. I will always recommend Millar Legal to anyone that finds themself needing legal representation, specifically in a high conflict divorce case.

Absolutely recommend for any high-conflict divorce

I had initially worked with a different attorney but was referred to Aaron by another lawyer friend of mine who had gone through a difficult divorce/custody battle as well. I am so grateful I changed to working with him. Aaron is extremely professional and works with the utmost integrity. He helped m...e through over a year-long divorce including lots of dramatic points, and I was very proud of how he represented me and was able to diffuse and navigate difficult situations. Aaron was very understanding and took the time to genuinely listen and take my ideas and feedback into consideration. Barbara is fantastic as well and very organized. I absolutely recommend him, especially if you are going through a high-conflict divorce.

Patient and thorough

I needed a divorce attorney who would be patient walking me through the details of my decree with a fine-toothed comb. Aaron was not only patient but proactive in offering suggestions that he thought would result in a better situation for my young son. We had a relatively quick turnaround and I alway...s felt comfortable reaching out with more questions. Barbara is so sweet and friendly and a joy to interact with.

Effective and Professional

Aaron Millar and his team represented me through a gut wrenching custody battle, involving relocation, contempt, a false CPS report and temporary restraining order. In the end, I ended up with more time with my son than was in my original divorce decree! I am grateful for Aaron's expertise with the... law and the court system, and his ability to work with the opposing team. I highly recommend Aaron, he is very effective as an attorney and very professional.
