The person you want by your side.

I normally don't write reviews, but in this case, it's too important not to. If I can help even one person by sharing my experience with Chris Millar, then it's worth it. I recently hired Chris Millar as my criminal defense attorney and I couldn't be more grateful to have found him and I highly r...ecommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. After facing a very difficult situation, a DUI charge after the loss of my father, I was in desperate need of a competent and understanding lawyer. Prior to finding Chris, I chose a different firm and it was a disaster. They lacked knowledge about Veterans Court, showed a lack of professionalism, and poor communication, all while charging me double the amount I was quoted. I felt like I was in the dark and just a number to them who focused on billable hours to collect money. That all changed when I found Chris. From the moment I spoke to him, I could tell he was knowledgeable and experienced. He took the time to understand my situation and worked tirelessly to help me get the best possible outcome. Chris was able to successfully negotiate the charges against me down with the minimum sentence. He always kept me informed throughout the process and I never felt like just a number to him. Finding a good criminal defense attorney can be a difficult and overwhelming process, especially when you're dealing with such a sensitive and personal matter. It's easy to fall into the trap of hiring an attorney who is only in it for the money and doesn't truly care about your case. But with Chris Millar, you won't have to worry about that. Not only is he knowledgeable and experienced, but he also has a genuine character and a deep understanding of the justice system. In addition to his exceptional legal skills, Chris Millar is a person of great integrity with strong moral code and is dedicated to fighting for the rights of his clients. In short, Chris Millar is the person you want by your side to represent you - a knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate criminal defense attorney who is truly committed to helping his clients get the best possible outcome. Don’t make my mistake in choosing another firm. Choose Chris Millar. You won’t regret it.
