Forever thankful for Joy and her outstanding team

Working with Joy has been an absolute blessing. From the very beginning, she brought not only deep legal expertise but also genuine care and compassion. Throughout my case, Joy was steady, clear, and fully invested in helping me feel informed and empowered, especially during some incredibly stressful... moments, including my testimony. Her entire team — Karla, Destiny, Irene, and Shaked — mirrored that same level of professionalism and warmth. They communicated clearly, responded promptly, and worked seamlessly to support every aspect of my case. One thing I appreciated greatly was Joy's integrity when it came to legal costs. She was upfront, fair, and truly mindful about keeping expenses down without ever compromising the quality of work. That kind of honesty and thoughtfulness is rare, and it meant a lot. I am deeply grateful for Joy and her team. They are not only outstanding legal advocates, but also incredible people. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who needs strong, compassionate, and trustworthy representation.

Amazing Attorney and Law Firm

I am forever grateful for Joy and her whole team! Going through a custody battle is hard enough as it is but Joy and Jeanne made it possible to get through it, I felt at ease when I had the opportunity to meet them both. Both Joy,Jeanne and everyone on their team are very professional and kind hearte...d. One of the many things I like about them is that they will tell you the truth. I never had any problems when it came down to communication with them every step in the process,every phone call and every question I had was very well answered/communicated. I had two occasions where I was represented by Jeanne and Joy at separate times and they were amazing in court! Joy and her team helped me get through a rough time, I would have Joy represent me again if I needed legal representation . I would highly recommend Kraft Miles their passion and dedication to their work is what makes them great attorneys and I couldn’t have done it without them! Thank you Joy, Jeanne and all of Kraft Miles! My daughter & I will never forget you wonderful people!

Absolutely amazing experience

I can’t say enough about Joy and her team. As a father of young children, it is almost impossible in California to win a move away case and they did it. I am forever grateful for this firm. They were honest, precise, patient, informative, and I couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you thank you ...thank you! You are the best

Joy Kraft Miles & Paralegal Team - TERRIFIC

The most stressful time of my life was filing for divorce. Joy and her team helped me through this excruciating process, answered all my questions, and provided relevant advice and direction on what to do and what NOT to do. In addition, Joy also provided suggestions on how to keep my legal costs dow...n...which makes her my hero!! On her team, I worked with Karla and Jeanne quite a bit and they were both very quick with responses. This was crucial for me to keep my stress levels down since I had to co-habitat with my ex-husband for almost 9 mos. Karla and Jeanne were available to answer questions and kept me updated as soon as updates were available. Even though my divorce was final in March 2024, I had a question about my final judgment today and Karla responded right away. Thanks Karla...You Rock!! I'd recommended Joy and her paralegal team to anyone who is going through a divorce.
