Chelsea E Miller

I originally hired a different lawyer, but my gut told me it wasn't going to be a good fit. I am so happy I trusted my instincts and looked around one more time. Hiring Chelsea as my divorce attorney was the best decision I could have made. I specifically hired her because she was experienced in fami...ly law and military issues. Her knowledge of the specific military situation was refreshing and saved me time and money because she already had most of the facts. Chelsea is warm but firm. She never sugarcoated the process or told me something just because I wanted to hear it. As another reviewer stated, she tells you what you need to hear. Carly is an excellent paralegal, together they edited and revised the draft of the parenting plan that my now ex and his lawyer sent over. There were things I told them in my own words that I wanted in there and they transformed it into legal speak effortlessly. With Chelsea's guidance, I went into mediation confidently and came out with a fair outcome for my divorce.

Chelsea came into my parenting plan dispute after I had worked with a previous lawyer. I was blown away by her approach, kindness, and willingness to actually explain the process to me. I had lived in anxiety for weeks trying to fully understand the process and one hour with her made me feel grounded... and capable of creating a plan. She moved fast and efficiently and we were able to come to resolution outside of court quickly. I can’t recommend her enough. She truly cares that real people are behind these court documents as well being incredibly gifted in her legal approach.

I have previously had poor experiences with family law lawyers that led me to be wary of them moving forward. Now, years later, I found I needed legal help for a contentious parenting plan modification. Ms. Miller was recommended to me by someone else and I approached with caution. However, she ...immediately allayed my fears with extraordinary professionalism. She is blunt in the best way possible - cutting to the immediate issue with an immense amount of family law expertise to back her up. When I arrived for my initial consultation, she came prepared by having already read through the basics of my case online. She listened intently and asked specific questions and was honest with her opinions. While she takes a measured personal approach, she is fierce in the defense of her clients once a course of action has been plotted. She doesn't resort to cheap tactics or emotional fluff because she doesn't need to; she has the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve her goals and doesn't want to waste her client's precious time or the court's time. Ms. Miller and Ms. Tremblay are responsive and I've never felt ignored by either of them. She is personable and attentive and her accountability so far seems flawless. She has appeared in court for a hearing which was resolved in my favor, worked with my ex and her lawyer to try to settle the matter out-of-court and has appeared in court for the trial (which was continued). She was impeccably prepared at all occasions and stepped me through the process whenever I needed help understanding procedures. My case is not yet completely resolved but, whichever way it goes, I already know that I made the best choice for legal representation possible.

Chelsea has been a godsend for me and my family. I could not be more elated about my choice to hire Chelsea to represent me as a person and a father. She is an ethical, intelligent, and aggressive attorney. I recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation in family law. I tried working wi...th the mother of my child for several months after the birth of my child, and was taken advantage of and beaten down by her and her attorney at every attempt to work with them. After reaching a breaking point I sought legal representation to help me climb out of the hole they put me in. I met with several other attorneys before meeting Chelsea, and none showed any enthusiasm to fight for me. I was then referred to Chelsea’s firm by a friend, and was assigned to her by their client services. Chelsea entered our consultation with a fire inside of her and passion for family law. She wasted no time to fly through piles of documents I brought in. Within minutes she was able to analyze my situation; what needed to be done to regain traction; and how she could help me to get what I deserved as a father. During our consultation, Chelsea was honest with me about the financial obligation, and I was shown she was not going to waste my time or money. In the six months working with her, she has never wasted my time or money, and has always been upfront and communicated things I was doing to waste money, time or energy. She knows family law inside and out, and knows what the court consider relevant and doesn’t waste time on anything that isn’t relevant. Unfortunately, when taking over my case Chelsea was forced to deal with a difficult opposing party and their attorney. She was often presented with emotional and fraudulent non-sense from the opposing attorney. She knows all the games opposing attorneys play and saw through them all. She conducts herself ethically and sticks to the facts or the case, and uses them to align with the law to fight for me. She never lowers herself to play games, and is quick to shut them down and tell the opposing party to step up or shut up. Chelsea has always been available to me while handling my case; well beyond the call of duty. There has never been a day I was unable to reach her in a reasonable time, whether it is late into the evening, weekend, or holiday. If she has other obligations delaying her response, she is quick to communicate it to me. I have never been left wondering or frustrated when trying to reach her. Often times, issues arise over night and she is always up to date with my case, and quick reach out and explains them to me and ease the stress of these issues. She is as much a therapist as lawyer. From the moment Chelsea took on my case, she has lifted the weight of the world from my shoulders. Her services come at a financial cost, but I consider her to be priceless. She has allowed me to get back to rebuilding my life and concentrate on spending time with my child. Again, I highly recommend Chelsea to anyone needing legal representation in family law.

Chelsea went above and beyond with my case and continues to help me with ongoing followup. Her professionaism and knowledge is 2nd to none. I love that she has a huge heart and she is a real everyday person just like me. When we went to court on serval occassions I felt I was never alone or left o...ut in the cold or without answers. Her communication and feedback is awesome. I consider her a a friend and 2nd my lawyer. Many attorneys treat you like a number and when they since funds get low they don't return calls. I never one time ever felt that Chelsea gave up on me no matter what the outcome looked like and she continued to fight hard. She had gained my trust and confidence, and my friendship. I feel very lucky to have her in my life. She is my Attorney of Special Forces! She had helped me establish parental rights starting from ground zero when my name wasn't even on the birth certificate to now I have rights, holidays, and set days with my son. I'm very grateful! If you need a top lawyer and a real person you can count on, call and ask for Chelsea Miller. She is McKinley's top lawyer! Thank you Chelsea for being you. D.STUMP
