Exceptional Legal Representation – Highly Recommend

Worst Attorney Ever. What a nightmare
Do not hire Robert Miller. He was the worst attorney I’ve ever dealt with. Before any charges were even filed against me, he went and met with the District Attorney, which brought attention to my case right away. I feel like he did that just so he could get my money. He told me that I had up to a yea...

Replied last July 3, 2025Thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience. I understand that legal matters can be deeply stressful and emotional, and I truly regret that you felt unsupported during such a challenging time. Every decision we make on a case is guided by professional judgment, legal strategy, and the best interests of the client. Communication with the District Attorney’s office is a requirement in the case, especially when a case is pending, to get valuable information on filing, address concerns before charges are filed, or explore potential resolutions, never to harm a client or advance a case prematurely. In your case, the prosecutor filed the case as the police had said they would, within the statute of limitations for your case. I also appreciate that legal processes can feel overwhelming or confusing, and if my communication at any point left you feeling unclear or unheard, I sincerely apologize. I always strive to ensure my clients understand their options, the stages of their case, and the reasons behind each legal move. If that wasn’t your experience, I take that feedback seriously and we always will continue to improve. Regarding billing and documentation, we had a flat fee agreement, which was nonrefundable. However, as you know, our written agreement requires us to account for every minute spent on your case, and I accounted for all our phone calls, our emails, and our discussions accurately, with the aim to provide transparent and accurate records of all time spent and work performed. If any part of that was unclear, I would have welcomed the opportunity to discuss or clarify it further, and my email inbox or phone is always open to you. While I respectfully disagree with many of the characterizations in your review, I understand that your perception reflects your personal experience. I wish you the best in resolving your legal matters and in moving forward. Sincerely, Robert Miller Attorney at Law

Excellent!
I hired Robert to successfully terminate my informal probation and expunge a previous DUI conviction. Robert was a class act and professional the whole way through. He made me feel comfortable knowing that I hired the right guy, and took the time to discuss and respond to any and all of the questions...
