Top-notch Attorney

I met Miles almost 4 years ago while seeking a divorce from a 20+ year marriage. The divorce process was particularly difficult and messy. At one point there was a discussion my divorce might make new case law if we ended up in trial. Miles stuck with me through every step of the way explaining th...e process. He worked tirelessly into the evenings and weekends to ensure he kept on top of my case. He knew my case inside and out. When opposing counsel presented inaccurate information and lies, he responded with facts in a succinct professional manner. He dug into the details to find issues opposing counsel conveniently missed. He made himself available and returned emails promptly. His professionalism never wavered regardless of the opposition’s negative comments. His writing skills are masterful. He’s dedicated to his clients and tells it like it is. Miles is an attorney you can trust. If you're looking for an honest thorough accomplished attorney who cares about his client, I highly recommend Miles.

Miles is a talented lawyer who expertly guided me through the messy process of divorce. Every step of the way, Miles advocated for my best interests and long-term strategy/outcomes. His communication style with me was responsive and compassionate, while assertive and concise with opposing counsel. I ...especially appreciated Miles’ ability to explain complex legal concepts and terms to me in a simplified way. He was thoughtful, thorough and knowledgable. Thanks to Miles, my case was settled with terms that well exceeded my expectations. I trust Miles completely. He has earned my respect and highest rating. Highly recommend.

From Overwhelmed to Empowered: My Experience with Miles Pedersen

Five years ago, I found myself in the midst of a daunting divorce process. Miles' professionalism, mixed with genuine care, made every conversation a breath of fresh air amidst the stress. He doesn't just work hard for his clients; he becomes a trusted partner. Miles' dedication to his clients' best ...interests, combined with his practical approach and honesty, make him a standout professional. Not to mention that Miles is an exceptional writer. His memos and emails are concise, professional, and clearly get the point across. He goes above and beyond by informing me of what I am entitled to, which significantly eased every step of the divorce process, knowing that he is there on my side. I cannot recommend him enough. For anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled attorney, Miles is the ideal choice.

Client

Miles is an extremely talented and effective attorney, and I highly recommend hiring Miles if you are in the unfortunate position of needing a family law attorney. Throughout the process, Miles consistently drafted pleadings and/or proposals that aligned with the judge's ultimate decisions and/or r...ecommendations. Miles' written communications to opposing counsel were concise and assertive, and he demonstrated an ability to work with opposing counsel in a way which ultimately benefitted me. During conversations, he was patient and explained difficult concepts in easy to understand terms. Most importantly, Miles didn't miss a single issue when reviewing completely unreasonable and underhanded proposals presented by the other side. He caught subtle drafting omissions which would have had enormous consequences for me if left as is. He was always prepared, knew the details of my case, and did an outstanding job representing me every step of the way.

Miles Pederson Review

I have worked with FKKB four the past 11 years on a very messy, protracted divorce case. For the past four years I have worked closely with Miles, specifically on a motion I filed to terminate spousal support due to a drastic depletion in my financial condition. One of the senior partners at FKKB rec...ommended I work with Miles, citing him as “one of the best young attorneys I have ever worked with”. I would have to wholeheartedly concur with that assessment. From day one, Miles has worked tirelessly on my behalf. He is highly detailed, thorough in his approach, and leaves no stone unturned. His plans/strateges to each aspect of my case are well thought out and organized, sticking toi the facts and evidence as they stand, not ever dealing with conjecture. He is a great listener, extremely empathetic, understanding, and always tells me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear. He is direct, straightforward, and always tells me what “the worst case scenario/outcome” would be, and then follows up with the probability of that scenario, to ensure I am fully prepared for what could happen. But he is always “glass is half full” positive with me, if he fully believes my case has the facts on my side, is constantly encouraging, and has done a great job of managing my stress and anxiety throughout this arduous process. I give Miles the highest rating possible, and would recommend him to anyone going through the pain of a divorce.
