In short, I was accosted by a drunken individual, and because I attempted to defend myself, was cited for 5th degree misdemeanor assault. It was a stressful month of waiting for the wheels of justice to turn, but Steve got a dismissal, allowing me to even avoid the initial hearing! On top of all that, he's a Christian brother. Thanking God for Steve's experience of nearly three decades in private practice that kept my record squeaky clean, with the exception of a couple speeding tickets.

So, you are possibly reading this review because you, or someone you know, were stopped by the…read morepolice and received a citation for a DUI or something similar. Now you know you need a lawyer and are dreading the entire process of finding the right attorney. You wonder if one attorney is any better than another? Should you "shop around" for the best deal? And how do you know you have the best deal and the right attorney? Based upon personal experience through a close family member I can unequivocable tell you that YES, you should shop around for the best deal - with one major caveat. THE BEST DEAL IS NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST PRICE. Let me repeat that, I can promise you; the best price is NOT the best deal. The "best deal" is getting the best lawyer to handle your particular situation. Like it or not, the infraction that you are accused of is a major deal and can lead to serious financial, workplace, and social difficulties. While going through this entire process, we learned that having a lawyer that not only specializes in DUI (or similar issues) but has also racked up YEARS of experience in this field gave us the best chances for a better than anticipated outcome. Gerald Miller is that lawyer. It is almost unbelievable how much time he and his team will devote to understanding you and your situation. Each court in the various jurisdictions in our metro area all have their slightly different idiosyncrasies. Gerald Miller and his team know these courts, their systems, their processes and the personalities within each of these jurisdictions and will use their knowledge to gain the best possible outcome for you. Sometimes you have to realize that once the damage is done (your DUI) your best course of action is to not exacerbate the situation by not having the right representation. Do yourself a favor, have a conversation with Gerald Miller and his team, you will be thankful that you did.

I met with Joel the next day and was impressed with not only his knowledge of the law but also what struck me is that he seemed to really care about me as a person. He kept me very informed as the process went along and always responded very quickly to any questions I had. Joel seems to be very well respected in the court system and was able to work out a plea agreement that was better than I had dared hope. And on the day of my sentencing I was again impressed with the questions he asked me that indicated that he cared about me as a person and not just a client. I would recommend Joel to anyone who needs the help of a good and caring attorney!

My experience with Ryan has been awful to say the least. He failed to report prosecutorial…read moremisconduct to the courts/judge (prosecutor lied and made false statements) he told me the prosecutor is allowed to do so and that it was perfectly legal. He failed to go over the discovery with me. I was instructed to go over it for myself at his office computer. I had no idea what I was doing and expressed how dissatisfied I was with the process. Instead of going over the discovery with me he just kept telling me he saw the discovery/ evidence and that it had so much evidence against me. But yet he still would not take the time to go over the discovery with me. Then comes the sentencing aspect of my case. I got an email from him 2 weeks before my sentencing saying that we should meet to get ready for sentencing. He said he couldn't meet in person that it had to be a phone call meeting. So I called him and he started telling me that he submitted a sentencing memorandum already! He did not talk to me about it, he did not consult with me and it was already in the books! In the weeks/months leading up to sentencing he never explained what a sentencing memorandum was nor how important they can be to a persons case/sentencing. He also did not tell me there was a deadline on when it was due. He told me several months prior that he would send me a template to get character letters ready for the judge. I did not receive that template or any instructions until after my memorandum was already submitted (without my approval). Not only was my memorandum inefficient but it had a false statement that he put on the memorandum. He had zero supporting documents and left out extremely important facts and medical records from my memorandum. After expressing how dissatisfied I was with his memorandum and his legal work in general he sent me an email claiming that he requested my medical records several times over the course of several months, and that I never had them sent to him, which was untrue. I indeed did have my medical records sent to him several months prior! 8 months to be exact! I advise anyone who needs serious legal counsel to consider my experience before hiring Ryan and his legal team.

She wouldn't even push the ex to do his work or tell truth instead, Karen said "I don't want to get sued by your ex for malpractice. " Now I will need to sue her for malpractice as she is still going after me for more money. Karen did things like even called police to check on the ex's welfare and charged me. She charged me to do the ex's lawyer work saying "do you want it done right and on time" then she charged me. I had to fight to get the charges removed. She wouldn't remove other disputed charges. I hired her knowing she had a legal asst and then her asst left and I was being charged attorney fee for things like faxing ...course she never told me this. I hired a team knowing it would save me money and then I find out I'm paying full price. I was upset with her and how I was being treated even before I signed the divorce. In fact I wrote a letter to the judge. But the judge never saw it-I had to chose between paying Karen's expert witnesses which she insisted I needed needed or she wouldn't go to court or to sign the decree. What choice did I have ? I had broken arm and just had surgery. I couldn't afford to pay $70,000 for divorce and risk losing my job. Besides everyone was believing everything the ex was saying like his expenses he listed that his car gas to and from work cost $600 a month---he drives 25 miles to work. He made 3 times the money I made yet he suddenly had nothing at divorce....Karen wouldn't follow up on marital wasting. His word was taken as truth as they, Karen and the mediator, didn't want to get sued. Karen told me that she and judge were friends and they sat on several boards together. So much for help esp when she took me to court to collect over $7,000 more. What chance in hell do I have against that "team." Well I want the truth to come out so nobody else gets hurt like I did. When I told Karen I was going to post a review --Karen sent me a link of someone getting sued for posting a review. Wow, what integrity from someone whom I trusted with my future, someone I paid almost my full year salary to protect me and fight for justice. Beware, some lawyers who don't do their jobs correctly can affect your entire future. I've dealt with a couple other attorneys and gave them 5 star review even when things didn't go my way-because they looked out for my interest and not more worried about the ex welfare-and her getting sued. The only thing my ex and I agreed on "your attorney Karen, is a crook" Said the ex and now I'm learning the truth .
