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.

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.

Posted by anonymous | August 24, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Best Family Law Attorney

I hired Joy when my ex-husband decided he wanted to change custody orders after 10 years. Joy was always available, professional, super knowledgeable and very supportive throughout the entire process. Today was our court date and Joy was a rockstar. She argued on my children’s behalf impeccably and t...he entire case was denied. Furthermore, there was a modification of child support case on the docket for October (also that my ex wanted) which she also got thrown out. I highly recommend hiring Joy when you have a family law matter that needs special attention by a professional who knows what they’re doing .

Excellent Representation!

There is no doubt that Kraft Miles Law Corporation will go above and beyond with representing you! When I first came to Joy, I felt very concerned that a false civil harassment restraining order could potentially affect my personal record and prospective job opportunities. At the initial consultation..., Joy was very straight forward and guided me through my options. She also took into consideration my personal situation and was able to provide affordable pricing. As the firm took on my case, all of the staff were very patient. They answered all of my questions and followed up with me to ensure that I had everything filed on time. With this being my first time in court, Joy explained to me how the hearing would go and what the different outcomes would be. Joy eased my anxieties and helped me feel very confident with fighting this case. I am beyond grateful to have had Joy represent me. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and professional. I would absolutely recommend the Kraft Miles Law Firm for anyone going through a difficult time and in need of family law services!
