Was represented by Atty Roland Milliard in court just before the turn of the century and, before that, confided with him on about a half dozen sensitive issues under his advertised Free Initial Consultation.
About a decade or so later, Milliard represented a client who sued me in court. I was never contacted ahead of time by Milliard on my permission for him to represent an individual to sue me, as is prescribed by the Conflict of Interest rules governing Massachusetts lawyers.
Would YOU want to confide YOUR personal information with a lawyer who'd someday stab you in the back under the guise of "semantics"? Or perhaps, a bigger financial opportunity for himself?
But please don't just take my word for it -- why not go on Google and investigate Atty. Milliard's "reputation" for yourself BEFORE you agree to give him several thousand dollars on a retainer fee to something fairly expensive like a Divorce, Driving Under the Influence, civil suit, etc? SPOILER ALERT: As you'll soon find out within the first couple pages on your Google search of this guy, Atty. Milliard has a rather dismal record in high profile cases -- and that includes his own personal DUI (or OUI) situation back in '99.
More than anything else that you'd expect from hiring an attorney -- Wouldn't Confidentiality and Winning be at the absolute top of the list? Especially when you're paying this "professional" somewhere in the range of $200-$300 per hour to represent you? With that said, why the heck would anyone want to be represented by Atty. Roland Milliard in court when there are so many more good quality lawyers available in just about any given community.
I appropriately would've given Atty. Milliard ZERO stars for a rating here, but unfortunately, Yelp doesn't go that low.
Buyer Beware -- STAY AWAY from Atty. Roland Milliard!!! read more
