Chandra Erin Miller

When I arrived in Chandra Miller’s office, I had been separated for several years after a 20-year marriage in which my husband had handled all the finances. I was paralyzed by sadness and fear about my future. The one attorney I had previously consulted looked over my paperwork (two marital ...agreements drawn up by my ex-husband’s trust attorney) shook her head and said, “This is very unusual,” which I already knew. What I needed was someone with the fortitude and knowledge to guide me through a contentious divorce. Thankfully, Chandra turned out to be just that person. Right off the bat, she told me I was in for a tough fight, she was up for it, and she would not fight harder for me than I fought for myself. I was impressed with the speed and accuracy with which she assessed the legal points, as well as the emotional aspects, of my situation. She further informed me that she would not take me on as a client unless I saw a therapist. I left her office with a referral to an excellent therapist and the belief that, with Chandra as my attorney, I no longer had to be a passive bystander in my own life. I am happy to say that Chandra in action surpassed anything I could have asked for. Thanks to her dedication, intelligence and integrity, I didn’t just survive the divorce process, I came out of it with the confidence to manage my own finances and make my own decisions. Chandra’s legal acumen and intuition were invaluable in navigating a divorce complicated by two ambiguous marital agreements, and she did an outstanding job of protecting my interests every step of the way with a laser focus on details that had major consequences. At the same time, she always kept the big picture in mind and educated me throughout the process, which enabled me to withstand a lot of pressure to compromise my financial future. Chandra treated me not as a case but as a person, which meant that when the divorce was final I was left with not just a financial settlement and support (both of which I was very happy with) but the means to manage my new life. During the divorce process, she brought in a financial analyst to help us come up with a realistic settlement amount and introduced me to a trust attorney, both of whom I continue to consult today. Furthermore, Chandra has been extremely responsive and helpful when issues arise around enforcement of the marital settlement agreement. And she did all of this in a very cost-effective way, not only helping us stay out of a lengthy and very expensive court battle, but always being conscious of her own fees. Retaining Chandra as my divorce attorney is undoubtedly one of the best investments I will ever make.
