Highly Recommend

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.

Worth her weight in gold and then some

If you are looking for an attorney whose office will listen to you, pay attention to detail, communicate with you and not leave you in the dark, and go to bat for you without charging an arm and a leg, all while getting results, Mirada is your person. She won't give you an unrealistic expectation, b...ut will move forward with a vengeance, digging deep into statutes and case law to ensure that you get the best result in the end. She ensured that my ex-wife was held accountable for her actions again, and got me a judgment to receive back most of the attorneys fees I paid - but if we're being honest, I would have paid twice what I did without the hope of receiving anything back just to get the results that Miranda got me. I will never go to anyone other than Miranda for my legal needs, and you shouldn't either.

Fantastic

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.

Couldn’t be Happier

Miranda did a wonderful job representing and protecting me during a series of rash, and aggressive legal motions put forth by my ex-husband. Her experience, knowledge of the court system, and attention to detail helped ensure a positive outcome, and my children staying safe in my care. I highly recom...mend her.

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.
