Best attorney experience EVER! She is hard working, determined, compassionate, and result driven.

Miranda took my case when many others were afraid to and turning me down. I was losing hope and she listened, showed compassion, and heard me. She saw the light at the end of the tunnel and took my case. With her eloquence and fact based evidence she used to support my case she always knew how to reb...uttal and had an effective response to back me. I trust Miranda held my family’s outcome in the highest priority. She is responsive, communicative, and makes herself available even during personal times. I truly felt her joy and emotion on a personal level when we achieved the outcome we hoped for. She is worth every cent and I’m so lucky to have found Miranda. Her intuition, knowledge, and experience with many other attorneys, judges, mediators, and being in court is undeniable.

Wow...simply amazing. Miranda is a life-saver and an incredible attorney!

I cannot express enough gratitude for Miranda's outstanding representation in my highly complicated child custody case. From the moment I enlisted her services, it was evident that she was not just a competent attorney, but a compassionate and dedicated advocate for her clients. Miranda's courtroom ...prowess was truly remarkable. She exuded confidence and poise while presenting my case, and her expertise in family law was evident throughout the proceedings. Her arguments were compelling, and she navigated the complexities of the legal system with finesse, ultimately securing a victorious outcome that exceeded my expectations. Beyond her exceptional legal skills, it was Miranda's compassionate nature that truly set her apart. She took the time to listen to my concerns and understand my very complex situation, showing genuine empathy for my situation and the well-being of my child. Throughout the emotional rollercoaster of the case, she provided unwavering support and made sure I felt valued as a client. Organization is clearly one of Miranda's strong suits. She left no stone unturned, meticulously gathering evidence and information to strengthen my case. Her attention to detail was outstanding, and she was always well-prepared for any twists and turns that arose during the legal proceedings. What touched me the most was the depth of care and dedication Miranda displayed towards my case. It was evident that she genuinely cared about the outcome and the impact it would have on my family's future. Her passion for helping families navigate the complexities of family law shone through in every aspect of her work. Thanks to Miranda's exceptional skills, compassion, and commitment, my child and our family can now look forward to a brighter and more stable future. I am forever grateful for her invaluable guidance and expertise during this challenging time. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Miranda to anyone seeking a family law attorney. Her remarkable courtroom abilities, compassionate demeanor, and meticulous organization make her an exceptional legal professional. If you find yourself in need of a dedicated and proficient family law advocate, Miranda is the one you can trust to fight for you and your family's best interests. In my opinion, any review that is less than 5-stars is probably inaccurate, or posted by a fake account owned by someone Miranda lost to in court. Miranda is an exceptional attorney by any measure, and you’ll be in good hands if you are lucky enough to get her.

Effective and Empathic

If you find yourself facing the unfortunate reality of divorce, your experience will be made more bearable by Miranda Baner and Noel (Miranda's paralegal). During an emotionally stressful time, the Baner team provided timely responses, thoughtful strategies, and a welcome level of professionalism and... empathy. Miranda and Noel were efficient, consistently patient, and genuinely helpful preparing for and during my divorce mediation. Considering the reality of legal fees, you can rest assured that your best interest is their primary concern. Highly recommended legal team.

A miracle in human form!

Miranda was professional, thorough, and understanding of my situation. Her team was also attentive and helpful in communicating with me throughout the entire divorce process. They answered all my questions in a timely manner and I regret not going to her sooner in the divorce process. In the end, she...'s helped me finally live my life and leave my past behind me. Love her!

No Fuss No Muss Attorney!

I found Mrs Baner through a girlfriend when I was starting my divorce process. Thank goodness I was advised to contact her. She is a "No Muss No Fuss" kinda girl! I let her know that the Ex was gonna fight dirty and she said we could do the same if needed. I had a few instances where she needed to ...file orders to make him stop and that happened almost immediately. She is like the mama bear you never knew you needed. She had to listen to me cry a lot but she was always so supportive and positive and would build me back up. When we went through mediation it was Covid time so I couldn't be near her. She assured me she had done quite a few cases by Zoom so she knew what to do. I have had to use her even after my divorce was final because Ex figured he could start crap again due to not having lawyers anymore. She was there for me in a "Jiffy" Thank you Miranda, I hope I don't need you again but if I do I know you will be there!!

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.
