Warmest thanks to a life changing experience

We hired Atty. Miranda to help with my green card application in the U.S. While the process was undoubtedly complex, Atty Miranda and her team were consistently supportive, providing us with clear direction and what to expect at every stage. Thanks to her and her team's support diligent effort...s, our application was approved just a few months after submission. We are ecstatic and we couldn’t have done it without Miranda's expert advice and thorough support. A special thanks to her diligent paralegal, Keegan for handling follow-ups and keeping us on track. We’re deeply grateful for their exceptional service. Cheers!

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!

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.

Miranda is the best

I hired them after contacting around other 40 lawyers in state of Washington. I would really recommend Baner firm to all who I care about, for the following reasons: 1- they are really helpful and understanding if you hire them from oversees. 2- they don`t charge you unless they give you a ...real service. 3- they study your case thoroughly and attentively. 4- they accept complicated cases that other lawyers are afraid to take. 5- last but not least, if you are like me intimidated, suspicious about lawyers, Miranda will gain your trust from the first E mail and you will feel that you deal with a friend you can trust.

I am so GRATEFUL!

I found Baner & Baner Dec of 2011. I had just taken my son from his grandparents he had been living with since he was two weeks old, that June. I ran into all sorts of road blocks trying to provide for him without any legal rights to him. Miranda and her husband helped me file the paternity test to e...stablish my rights and begin the parenting plan (that's what they call custody in WA) process. It was unsettling for my son's mom that I wanted everything on paper and that Derrick would live with me 24/7/365. She refused to sign, made arguments and excuses for many things, but Mrs. Baner kept me floored and focused on what we were doing. A year of a mental and emotional rollercoaster and the judge granted me everything I asked for. My son is turning 8 next month and I've raised him alone for five and a half years. My love for him has change his mother's perceptions too. She now understands I was never attacking her; I only wanted Derrick to be with a parent. Time gave way for love, compassion, and mutual respect, and all that was facilitated by the Baners. Words alone will never convey my gratitude. Contacting and allowing Baner and Baner to represent me has paid me back in joy multiple times over. Thank you, Miranda, and God bless your family, ma'am.

  • 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.
