Highly recommend Miranda Baner

Ms. Baner kept me informed through out the entire process, her fees are reasonable, and she returned my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. I fully trusted her knowledge of the divorce process, and felt as thought she always has her client's best interest in mind.

Baner and Baner, rockstars of family law

Miranda was the best family lawyer ever. I went to, two other family lawyers before her and while I was not disappointed by one of the other two I was overwhelmed by Miranda. Her office staff and partner (husband) were always helpful and knowledgeable in every aspect of my case. As a man in Washingto...n state and being black I felt that maybe the court process would be difficult. I also had the a punishing experience in family court with another attorney before Miranda. Miranda came in fixed all the problems that I brought her and took my case with the seriousness and professionalism that you would expect from a seasoned attorney. Miranda took What was 6 years of litigation and got me an overwhelmingly favorable patenting plan that suited the needs of my family and I. I also got full custody of my son a few weeks after She was done due to the work and foundation that She built. I was happy with just having the parenting plan in my favor and due to the continued effort She gave, I was able to get my son and raise him with all of his family. Most of all I was impressed with Miranda's caring and concern. I was done with my case and She still contacted me to see how everything was going. I don't know where She might ever come up short because I never saw it but I'm sure the compassion, knowledge, and honest concern would always make up for anything that anyone could perceive as such. Miranda left me feeling like I mattered, She cared, and She was part of the family. Thank you Baner and Baner for a great new beginning to the rest of my life! I Love these guys!

Child Support

I met with Miranda after my exboyfriend hired himself an attorney and had me sign a parenting plan which I knew little to nothing about it. I gave Miranda all of my paperwork and she was able to get me money I was owed,which I knew nothing about.Miranda kept me informed as needed. She was knowledgabl...e about the case and was able to get it resolved without even going to court.. She is a very patient,understanding Attorney.. She is very passionate about children,their rights and being treated fair... I will recommend her to anyone needing assistance...

Family Law

Entering a custody dispute is a highly stressful time. Miranda was the only person who could give me any ideas of what to expect from all of it and she kept me on track. She cares about families and I never got the impression that I was just a job to her. She was also a great mediator for a time w...hen tact over aggression is key in dealing with friction between parties. She was firm but I think conveyed to the other party my wishes to come to a mutual agreement in a complicated matter.

Thank you, Miranda!

Miranda has worked hard to ensure that my divorce goes as smoothly and professionally as possible. She is very prompt with updates, responding to emails, filing paperwork and scheduling court dates. All I have to do is sign paperwork. She is very personable and I feel completely comfortable when I ta...lk with her. I would definitely recommend Miranda to others!

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.
