No conselation fee

Went in to see Tara needing direction on how to go about a situation involving family and a will, she told me exactly what i needed to do and told me if i had any other questions feel free to call her! She spent 40 min with me and fid not charge, everyone else wanted 200 to 250 for fee and turned out... my situation i could do myself with the advice and direction of Tara!

Professional and compassionate

I hired Tara with the expectation of her doing a good job. She did an amazing job. She listened, explained the legal process and she got the result I needed. She far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her.

Outstanding! Hire her!

You should choose Tara to represent you because not only is she an outstanding attorney but an incredible human being and a trusted friend. My journey was not easy; as I am sure yours is inevitability a challenge if you are reading this now. Tara taught me three things. Your injuries, your support... and "you" are number one! Tara never stops fighting for you. She devotes endless time to your case because she sincerely cares about your wellbeing. She is punctual, competitive, organized, direct, exacting, compassionate and energetic. Moreover, she will educate you about the world of law, insurance, and the medical field. Smoothly, she navigates you untill you feel confident that your choices are going to meet your needs. Like a rollercoaster ride, I held steady to all that Tara had said she was a dynamic support and sometimes pushy friend. Tara, truly and sincerely places you at the top of her priorities,  achieves success and seeks justice for you!

Best in Town

I had a custody case over the summer that turned into a parenting plan modification. After reviewing my case Tara took me on with only a portion of her required fee. And then when the case fell through and we never went to court, Tara gave me my money back because I didn't understand the terms of our... agreement and she, being the compassionate person she is, knew how hard financially all of this was on me and my family. Beyond just that, she is thorough and concise. She knows the county and she knows her stuff. Before we even signed on with her she saw me two times and guided me through legal processes I didn't understand. No lawyer I've ever had has had that kind of humanity. My first impression of Tara is she's a fighter. She'll go the distance for you. Having her on your side is a boon toward success. If I ever need legal assistance in Jackson County again she'll be the first person I call and you should too!

Waste of $6,000

My husband and I hired Ms Millan in 2015 to help us in the custody battle for his daughter. $6,000 later, we have absolutely nothing to show for it. She asked us for information that she never used and didnt need, then charges us to "review it". She encouraged me to email her my frustrations and ques...tions and charged me for each email. Her responses were not adequate and I felt she didnt know the answer to many of my questions despite charging me for asking them. In the beginning she told us that for her to represent us in court the approximate amount would be around $5,000-$7,000 total. We ended up paying $6,000 and did not even go to court. We ended up running out of money and having to cancel our representation. In the end, we had no choice but to take whatever the other party was willing to give us. We were left with nothing. This was a horrible and expensive lesson for me about lawyers. She was very friendly and nice but in the end did nothing for us except file a few papers and charge us for responses to her questions.

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.
