Once again Joy and team outdid themselves

This was my second time using Joy and her team, and once again they were absolutely incredible. My ex filed to modify my alimony, and there were so many unexpected twists throughout the case. There were moments when the aggressive language from the opposing attorney and some surprises during the p...rocess had me overwhelmed, but Joy kept me calm every step of the way. She always took the time to explain what was happening, what I needed to do, and what to expect next, which made an incredibly stressful situation much easier to get through. Joy’s preparation and attention to detail were outstanding. The judge was so impressed with her paperwork that she even commented she would adopt it herself. In the end, we achieved exactly the outcome we were hoping for. If you want an attorney who is knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate, and truly fights for her clients, I can’t recommend Joy and her team enough. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they did.

Experience is the best defense and offense

Joy Kraft Miles and associates (Joy, Jeanne, and Karla) my Super Heroine Trio. I couldn’t have gotten the best lawyers that works cohesively and diligently. I am a “FREE MAN” with no encumbrances because of their dedication and devotion explaining in details of what will happen and won’t happen in a... divorce. Be direct and be open with them. Remember when you hire them, they’ll protect your best interest and well-being. They will be on your side throughout the process. The process was prolonged because the petitioner was attempting to change the terms with spousal support but when we got to the settlement court, it came back to “my” original terms. All of my ex’s attempts to wring me dry blew up back on her face. She kept excusing herself from the court to make phone calls to her associates familiar with the law only to return to agree to “my” terms. Made attempts to make me look bad, and accusations but I have strong evidence against her physical and verbal abusiveness, neurotic and erratic behavior and mannerisms. All the accusations were false or circumstantial and that won’t fly in a court of law. Realizing from her own counsel she had backed herself against the wall and had no choice but to agree to every term of the MSA. The most surprising embarrassment and shame was during the explanation of the terms. The respondent actually requested my lawyer “Joy” and the judge to explain the terms as if she was a 5th grader??!! I wanted to burst out laughing but that wouldn’t be appropriate in court. Most importantly, at the end of the signing of the judgement my ex (respondent) stated out loud in court in front of the judge that “If she had any friends that will be going through a divorce, she would recommend Joy’s family law firm”. Explicitly, stating that Joy and her associates are the BEST hands down EXCEPTIONAL!! Joy and her team made feel like family members helping me throughout the process and they are a God Send. I cannot express in words what they’ve done for me. I love them with all my heart. The Righteous will always Prevail

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!
