Outstanding, excellent and highly recommended

I would highly recommend Tim Miranda to anyone I cared about and I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He went above and beyond to help me through a very difficult time. Tim Miranda provided excellent service to me, doing exactly what I asked for, and the quality of his work is outstanding and he ...certainly is a force to be reckoned with. Tim Miranda listened thoroughly and wholeheartedly to my story, without any cynicism, doubt, or fear in representing me. Tim Miranda believed me, and It felt good to be listened to and understood, he really helped me in every way possible. Tim Miranda's presence in the courtroom was amazing; he was exhilarating, marvelous and dynamic; his presentation, delivery and effort was impeccable and untouchable compared to the opposing party and their counsel. I can confidently say that it was an honor to have this excellent attorney by my side and fighting for me and my dignity. Tim Miranda is caring, relatable, hard-working, professional, responsible, and just amazing... he has a great future ahead of him. Thank you, Tim Miranda!!

Best Family Law Firm in San Diego

After reading other reviews I came to this Law Firm dissatisfied that many other Lawyers in town who made errors on my case in the past that were detrimental and lost me lots of community property and child support by not fighting or telling me what the laws were. I later had complicated issues that... the other top lawyers did not have the knowledge or experience necessary for my case. I'm glad I listened to the review of another who stated they had an instant trust of Tim , I did too! TIm Miranda is top notch quality, brains, personality , care and legal know how to give you the Edge, IT is well worth it to get the experience beyond the Others, during the emotional issues in family law. I had an immediate trust and have been represented well by the entire team who is always there to get things done efficiently, effectively and responsibly. T

Long Overdue Review

Ill put it this way. Mr Miranda gave me my life back. He fought for me and with me. Even though it was no family issue it was criminal. He and Gerald Smith did everything for me and im forver grateful. Thank you guys so much.

Miranda works for Money, not for you!!!

Divorce??? Run, don't walk away from the Miranda Law Group. There are other law firms out there who is best and cheaper than Miranda gropu. Here are just a few details...I paid over $17,000 for the Miranda Law Group to settle my divorce. The process started in late August 2013. First met with Ti...m Miranda and I gave my complete trust that he was the right partner to help me. First court date, he doesn't show up but some flunky that I've never met or spoken to. Gerald did such a poor job in representing me and I'm sure others, he was relived from the group. Notice now the timeline; I did not receive my divorce paper work until March of 2015. The divorce paper work that I received did not include a court stamped original in order for me to change my name. Even though, that was my desire, and documented. Not knowing this, I made an appointment with the local Social Security office for May 26th, soonest appointment I could get, took time off work and only to be told I did not have the blue stamped document that I needed from the court. Imagine my disappointment. Pissed is more like it. I have written many email messages to both Tim and Claudia who claim I got everything I needed. They suggested that I go down to the courthouse and request whatever I need. This was their job; I paid heavily for this as part of the $35,000+ dollars. I am unable to change my name without the documents that I need from the court, which they are to provide. I demand that they provide me with the paper work that is needed to change my name. I am currently in this name limbo hell, until I get this paper work. Nothing else can be changed until Social Security has made the change, with the correct paper work from the Miranda Law Group. Believe me, Miranda Law group works for Money not for you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
