Miranda Baner

I hired Mrs. Baner to assist me in a post divorce mediation situation. While I had initially opened to work through mediation without representation the other party obtained counsel and while I never felt inability to represent myself the handling by legal on the other side made it clear I was not s...een as an equal or something to be given respect and open communication. After being manipulated and shoved around and give false/bogus legal threats to try to intimidate me it became clear that I would not be respected or taken seriously without having my own legal counsel. I spoke with approximately half a dozen attorney's and was turned off by many. In the same way the counter parties counsel had approached me and handled the situation so many attorney's pitched themselves as being aggressive and being able to "get a win", that they almost seemed eager for a fight. I always tried to open up with my situation not being about winning but being taken as an equal party in mediation (which ironically shouldn't even require an attorney) and making sure a lack of representation was not (if only perceptual) a disadvantage. Mrs. Baner understood my position on the matter, what I was actually looking for, and actually understood what I was not looking to do which was equally as important to me. She was not afraid to correct me thoughts and views when they were truly not going to be legally sound (and thus be of no value in mediation) but also fully supportive on the items that would be of merit. I hired her to both diffuse any legal bulldozing by opposing counsel but also to make sure I did not equally make a fool of myself or waste time arguing things that were perhaps subjectively and emotionally valuable but legally of no value in our case. After hiring Miranda I had several attorneys circle back with me and every single one of them said the same thing "I'm sorry I wasn't able to work with you on this but you made a good choice", and that was unsolicited feedback. It became very clear how well known Miranda is and in my experience how respected she is in the legal community. Miranda was well acquainted with our mediator and while there was no impropriety she was informed from prior mediations how best to communicate our position and to put us in the best position to argue our case. Every case is going to be unique but if you are looking for someone to represent *YOU* well, someone that is in my opinion known for the right reasons, this firm needs to be on your short list. She won't sugar coat things, she will tell you when your wrong, and when the time comes to present your case you will have a known quantity. The impression I had from beginning to end is that Miranda is just as selective in the cases she takes and the clients she chooses to work with. Some people look for certain traits in their legal representation and its important to make sure you have a match on both sides. For my family and our case, Miranda was exactly what I was looking for.

Miranda Baner is the best at what she does. Not only is she knowledgeable, she also has the best ability to refer superb professionals in whatever else is needed in the case of an individual. She has been completely responsive regarding questions on her cases and will fight for justice with incredibl...e tact and fairness. She is also realistic when it comes to certain requests, which I have greatly appreciated. And she is very clear about translating the language of the law for people like me who don’t understand clearly what those certain terms mean specifically. Her patience with me when it comes to that has been something not only outstanding but much appreciated! I am so grateful to have found her in my time of need and desperation. She is also a beautiful person inside and out and clearly cares about her clients needs. I would have been lost if I didn’t have her in my corner.

Miranda is very passionate about what she does. I was able to retain her on a moment's notice and she got right to work, knowing we did not have much time to get everything in order to keep my kids safe. She is very knowledgeable and has a great team with fantastic attention to detail. She remembers ...my case each time we speak and is highly motivated to help with the utmost integrity. Miranda always makes herself available and answers all my questions so I have a clear direction to move forward. She came highly recommended by a close friend and has not disappointed. I strongly recommend her to everyone looking.

Miranda came recommended by a family member and she did not disappoint. I had a special case between states with custody and she not only knew the laws pertaining to what I was needing but was also very upfront about everything that could happen from best case scenario to worst case scenario. Having ...everything laid out from the beginning was helpful. She was professional and also personable and made us feel like we weren't just another number but a true client to help. Communication was very open, prompt and understandable about absolutely every step that was taking place with each aspect of the case. Her Paralegals were also amazing at what they do as well and were there for a lot of the communication. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again if the need ever comes up. She and her firm are definitely worth it.
