Miriam Bustamante Riedmiller

I do NOT recommend retaining Miriam Riedmiller at all. She says she is compassionate but she is nothing more than a Lawyer who boxes their clients into a corner and drags out the work and keeps coming back with more and more charges. She refuses to issue invoices instead always saying "...look at the... big picture." Her accounting should be done as she goes but instead by not issuing weekly invoices she can get away with hidden charges calling it research. She claims to have an office in DC but instead forces clients to go to her home in Alexandria where she makes the client walk with her while she walks her dog and then bills for that time too. She gets furious at the slightest question about billing to date, paper filing status, and what the overall strategy is. In each case she goes on a tangent and NEVER answers the question but instead belittles the client as if she were the school master. Her fees are off the charts compared to other Attorneys who do the same work.
