Chris was the most professional and supporting lawyer I have ever met. He was very patient and calm during the whole process. He went out of his way to text me and call me weekly to update me and answer all of my questions. He also gave me a payment plan that worked well with my finances. Chris went above and beyond as my lawyer, not only did he help get me the BEST DEAL FOR MY CASE, he was als very mentally supportive during the whole process. ***IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A LAWYER JUST TAKE THE FREE CALL WITH CHRIS, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.***

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined! I was blessed to have found him. Christopher Miller fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. I was highly content with the outcome of his work. I will forever be grateful for his help!! Definitely recommend him!!

If you don’t have time to read this entire review, all you need to know is that you will not regret hiring Chris Miller.  Chris will handle your case with the utmost care and professionalism and get you the best possible outcome.  He is attentive and knowledgeable and won’t let you down.  He will work harder and smarter than any attorney in CA.  I can promise you this!

Chris Miller is one of the greatest attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of working with.  Although, I have had an exemplary career within the legal and criminal justice system, I found myself facing felony charges after a domestic altercation with my husband. Throughout my career I have worked with many attorneys but I have never had to do so in a situation where I was the defendant.  I was obviously terrified and uncertain as to what to do and where to go to for help.  CA is not my home state which made things even more bewildering.  

My first instinct was to search the internet for attorneys.  A couple of “big” names and fancy law offices kept coming to top of my search.  I was immediately drawn to a defense attorney that was formerly a prosecutor.   Having worked in the legal system, I thought a former prosecutor was just what I needed.  I also fortuitously stumbled upon Chris Miller’s website.  His reviews were amazing and I opted to reach out to both Chris and the “former prosecutor”. Chris personally called me back within the hour and we scheduled a meeting that was quick and convenient. The other attorney’s paralegal contacted me.

Upon meeting Chris, I immediately felt at ease.  He did not judge me or make me feel like a criminal.  He was supportive and informative.  He described several of my options and potential strategies.  He formulated a couple of different plans to intervene at the police level and hopefully stop charges before they were even filed.  After leaving the meeting, I had specific knowledge of the process and of strategies I could use.  I took this knowledge with me to my second meeting with the “former prosecutor”

During our meeting, the former prosecutor told me that unfortunately, in the state of CA, a person charged with domestic violence is GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INOOCENT.  What?  Isn’t this the exact opposite of how the justice system is supposed to work??!!!  I brought up some very valid points and tried to understand where he was coming from but he just made me feel like a horrible criminal.  He told me that unfortunately I was at the mercy of the judge.  I asked him about some of the strategies that Chris had mentioned and he said they either wouldn’t work or weren’t viable options!  I left his office crying.

WELL Guess what Mr. Former Prosecutor???  CHIRS’s Strategies DID work and I WON my case!

Trusting my gut and hiring Mr. Miller was the best decision I could have made!  He supported me, kept me informed throughout the case, answered all of my texts and calls (even though some might have seemed crazy), and, most importantly, he made me feel like a friend that he truly cared about.

He was always there for me when I had questions, we thoroughly talked through different strategies and outcomes, and his depth and breadth of the CA legal system was, not only helpful, but also impressive. 

The care and attention that Chris has given me has been nothing short of amazing.  He put in the extra work and respected my emotions and desires regarding the outcome of my case.  I am very impressed with his effectiveness, professionalism, and the rapport he has with the police investigators and with the city attorneys.  I believe this combination of qualities is what led to a positive outcome for my case. 

Chris got me the best possible outcome and can do the same for you.  Do not hesitate to hire Mr. Miller.  You will not regret it!

With being a first time offender and never going through the process of the criminal court system I was scared of what was to come next. I'm so glad I found Christoper's law firm I couldn't be more thankful. I was charged with Felony Grand Theft and I was looking at jail time which I was not looking forward too. Chris worked hard like he said he would to get my case resolved where I can avoid jail completely. He always answered my calls and texts and always updated me on my case. He will be the lawyer I refer to my loved ones knowing that they will be taken care no doubt.

Chris helped me with my DUI case and I couldn’t be happier having an experienced and knowledgeable attorney by my side representing me. He helped me greatly throughout the whole process and also made it possible for the outcome to be a lot better than expected. I highly recommend Chris, he is very professional and will be with you every step of the way.

I, UNFORTUNATELY, FELL VICTIM TO A DUI & DID SOME ONLINE SEARCHING FOR LOCAL LAWYERS WITH A GOOD TRACK RECORD. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO COME ACROSS CHRIS & RAVE REVIEWS PERTAINING TO HIS DUI REPRESENTATION. UPON OUR FIRST PHONE CALL, HE TOOK ALL THE TIME NEEDED TO GO OVER THE PROCESS OF WHAT TO ANTICIPATE WITH A DUI, HOW HE COULD BENEFIT MY SITUATION & HIS SERVICES HE PROVIDES. BY THE END OF OUR CALL, HE HAD ME SOLD & I ENLISTED IN HIS ASSISTANCE.

HE WAS FAIRLY PRICED & OFFERED REALISTIC PAYMENT OPTIONS. HE'S ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY ATTENTIVE WITH ANY CALLS, TEXTS OR EMAILS I'VE SENT HIM. ALONG WITH THAT, HE FULLY ELABORATED ON ALL QUESTIONS HAD, WHEN THEY WOULD ARISE & PROVIDED SOLUTIONS QUICKLY. NEVER WAS THERE A MOMENT I FELT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, NEGLECTED OR LAST ON HIS LIST. OUR COMMUNICATION WAS CONSTANT & ALWAYS CONVENIENT WITH MY SCHEDULE.

UPON MEETING IN PERSON, HE'S VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER, PROFESSIONAL & HANDSOME! DURING OUR FEW IN PERSON INTERACTIONS AT THE COURTHOUSE, HE'S ALWAYS BEEN COMPLIMENTARY & NEVER LEFT ME FEELING BEWILDERED OR LIKE I WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE COURTROOM. CHRIS IS BEYOND EXCELLENT WITH THE SERVICES PROVIDED! I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER LAWYER IN THIS TROUBLING TIME. WITH HIS GUIDANCE & MY DRIVE TO PRIORITIZE COMPLETING ALL NECESSARY STEPS TO GET THIS DUI OFF MY CHEST, WE MANAGED TO CONQUER THE WHOLE THING IN A MATTER OF ABOUT 6 MONTHS.

FINGERS CROSSED THAT I NEVER HAVE TO REFER HIM TO A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER IN THE SCENARIO OF A DUI, BUT IF SO OR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A DYNAMITE LAWYER - I WILL PRAISE HIS ABILITIES & SUGGEST HIM TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR DEPENDABLE GENTLEMAN!

THANKS A MILLION, CHRIS!

Chris Miller is a God send. Best possible attorney I could have asked for, on multiple levels. He's so good I hired him twice on two separate cases. The second case environment was very hostile towards me. Chris Miller went in there and FOUGHT for me every possible way he could.

Chris did a great job with my case! He was always available to answer all of my questions and thoroughly explained everything that I wanted to know about the process. He ended up providing me with the best outcome possible and got my case rejected by the court.

Christopher Miller is everything I was looking for in an attorney and surpassed my expectations at every step of the process. Every single step, from price (honoring a quote even though my case became much more complicated), to communication (always directly available, no answering service, no run-around or b.s), to negotiating a plea that was MUCH better than I had even hoped for. I will be doing community service for what would have been a 5 year sentence. There is no doubt in my mind that he will represent every single one of his clients to the best of his ability not because it's his job but because he want's the best outcome and believes he can achieve it. Anyone reading this should hire Chris and count yourself very lucky that you found one of the good ones.

Thank you for all your help and guidance. My family thanks you as well.
You are a great lawyer and I’ve dealt with a handful not counting public defenders. Every other lawyer I spoke to I can hear and feel that they knew that I was in a s@@ty situation and that they saw me as a s@@ty person just like the courts. I couldn’t tell the difference between these lawyers and the prosecutors.

I want to say that you’re very respectful and hands on with you’re way of working but that’s not even a sugar coat on how I can express myself about you and your work.

Thank you for hearing me out and actually giving me a chance to show you what I was about, which is my family.

Thank you for the respect that you showed my family and actually giving us hope that things would turn out ok.

You’re a great lawyer

Thank you for everything

From my first and only in-person encounter with Mr Miller, I had felt comfortable enough that I was about to make the right decision in hiring him. His professionalism and responsiveness are just a couple of his great attributes. In addition to doing my own research, he further educated me on the law regarding the situation at hand and the possible outcome, and kept me informed. End result, we won. Thank you, Mr Miller.

I made an account just to give Christopher Miller a review...5 out 5 stars i would highly recommend him as a lawyer I hired him for two cases he was able to get me a excellent outcome both times. The first case was a multiple felony case with the possibility of 6 and a half years in prison and the Public Defender told me the lowest offer i would get is 16 months in prison Chris got me 180 days and 3 years probation and i only did 9 actual days. 3 weeks later i got arrested for a probation violation and he got the violation dropped. He is an excellent lawyer he is always available to answer any questions you have through your tough time fighting a case and he is very family oriented when anyone asks me for a good lawyer i always recommend The Miller Law Firm.

Christopher Miller is a great attorney. He got my husband's conviction expunged. Miller is experienced, understanding, honest, very professional, and extremely efficient. Definitely an attorney I would recommend to family and friends.

Go with Christopher Miller He is a professional that is a true 6-star attorney. I was very scared when I initially got charged, he was honest as he talked me threw my options which lowered my stress and showed me that he had my back. He fought for what I wanted and got 4 charges dropped. To keep things short, I am telling you if you choose Chris as your attorney you will be HAPPY WITH THAT CHOICE. So, I say choose to be happy. I just want you all to know.

I can't say anything negative about Chris. I hired another private lawyer from a big law firm who wasn't doing anything to help my case. I ended up firing him and hired Chris. He was willing to jump into my case right away and definitely had my best interest in mind. He was able to change the judges mind by overturning a previous decision and got me into the military diversion program. He also convinced the judge to prevent my guns from being destroyed.

Christopher Miller is a great lawyer! He is very understanding with a cooperative and reliable behavior. He helped my cousin get his case dismissed! If you’re deciding on a lawyer pick Mr Miller! He’ll get you what you want and is very knowledgeable about his stuff!

Chris has been excellent since the beginning. I had a good feeling about him when I had a phone consultation with him and he gave me lots of information but also was not pressuring me to hire him. He said at the end of the phone consultation that even if I don't hire him, feel free to call him with any questions.

I found him on Thumbtack and he got back to me instantly and called me as soon as I gave him my phone number. He gave me an excellent price, slightly lower than some other competing attorneys. I wanted to know him more before deciding to hire him so he met with me at his office to discuss the situation further. He is an excellent listener and it really felt like he genuinely cared about me. Of all the attorneys I consulted with, I truly felt he was the least pushy. With everyone else, it felt like as soon as they gave me their price, they wanted a yes or no answer. With Chris, it felt like he was willing to give me information and let me think about it with no pressure.

His office is in a very nice building in Pasadena. It's a shared office space with attentive secretaries and a spacious, very upscale meeting room. The secretaries are willing to make copies and they were friendly.

In terms of results, I was very pleased with the outcome. Also, Chris made the deal on the arraignment date! I didn't even know that was possible. So the case was very fast and a great outcome. Chris was so nice as to honor the lowest price estimate he gave before we made a contract. On the contract, we assumed I may have had a more complicated case. Luckily it was a lot more simple than it could have been. Therefore, he gave me a partial refund for the price adjustment after the day he made a deal for me with the court. I think that's so awesome he did that. I felt cheap asking about it but he was so quick to honor the lower price.

Overall, it's been an excellent experience with Chris and I highly recommend him.

I had some serious (felony) allegations brought to my attention and I didn't know how to go about. After a quick search on Yelp, I decided to give Christopher Miller's law firm a shot. He called me back within minutes and talked about my case. I decided to hire him to represent me and throughout the process he was attentive and communicated well with me. He was able to get the case dismissed before the case got to the DA. I would recommend Steven Miller for his professionalism and expertise.

My experience with Chris was unprecedented. When I called around looking for an attorney I was surprised at how impersonal they all were, until i spoke with Chris. He really understood my concerns, treated me like I was his only client, and I had an overwhelming sense that he truly cared for my case and wanted to get the best outcome for me. And that he did! I cannot believe the magic Chris has worked for me in court. Because of his reputation that he upholds at the courthouse, he was able to plead my case and they ended up giving me an unbelievably great outcome. He was able to get the minimum punishment and eliminate almost all of my court fees. I really attribute this to Chris believing in my case and treating it as if it were his own. That’s the type of lawyer Chris is and that’s the type of lawyer everyone wants and needs! I can’t say enough good about him!

Stop your searching; Chris Miller is the one you want on your side! Chris is prompt, friendly, effective, and non-judgmental. The process of going to court is never fun, but Chris males it as seamless as possible. Chris responded to my inquiry very quickly and after speaking with him I knew I had made a good choice. Chris worked hard to reduce my sentence, and did an excellent job. Even months after the original court date when an issue came up with my court ordered requirements, Chris responded to my questions quickly and helped me deal with my issue. I have a busy schedule and having Chris to help me with paperwork and court dates has been a lifesaver. On top of everything else he is a really really good person, and even though it is usually a not so great a legal situation to be in, you will be happy to have had Chris working with you.

Chris is an amazing lawyer and you cant go wrong with him. Chris got my felony case dismissed. He will work with you on the price and work out payments, he is very professional and friendly and will be very positive on what he can do for you. Having a case can be a scary time in your life and Chris will calm you and take the fear away while you wait for your court date and in the courtroom. Words cant explain how amazing he is just pick him for your lawyer and watch him in action, you will be glad you did.

Look Chris is one of the most understanding professionals I have ever met. Chris got my DUI thrown out by the DMV which is nearly impossible. My DUI conviction was avoided as well with the LAX court. Chris found the best compromise between reality and what I wished to happen.

From the moment I talked to him on the phone I knew he was trustworthy and possessed a high amount of Integrity. I chose Chris over 3 other lawyers for that reason. He is very honest about what he can or can not do in regards to your case. Chris handled my case as if he has known me for 10 years. Working with Chris was just simply an amazing experience. If you feel you are against all odds and can not seem to find an attorney you can trust that’ll get the job done, I would recommend The Chris Miller Law Firm 1000%!

Not that long ago I had a rough experience with the campus police department. Due to the fact that I was late to one of my classes I irrationally decided to use a disabled placard. After I returned to my car a police officer was waiting for me. The ticket which he issued stated that it was a misdemeanor. I was devastated and did not know what to do. A few weeks later when I decided to request some quotes from criminal defense attorneys. Unlike the rest Christopher did not mention a very high price and offered to arrange a meeting on Saturday. It was important for me to find an experienced attorney, because at that time I was in the process of acquiring my citizenship. As a result of his diligent and outstanding job, on the day of my interview there was nothing in the Court system regarding my ticket. Hence, the officer conducting the interview did not bother including this ticket to the application, because she read a letter explaining the issue (which could potentially have an impact on my case, possibly denying it). I am very glad that my family hired Chris. He is always polite, professional, and patient. I will definitely refer everyone who needs criminal defense. If you want the best service, do not waste your time looking for it elsewhere. Thank you again Chris and best wishes.

After talking to over a dozen lawyers througout the week, I ended up hiring Christopher Miller for my DUI case and I couldn't behappier. I had spent so much time looking for someone that I almost didn't have time to request a DMV hearing. Chris was able to file for a hearing the same day and saved me a lot of trouble! He made sure to answer all my questions thoroughly which made me feel more secure about my case. He's smart and compassionate! Having a car accident along with my DUI was something that really worried but Chris was able to make it all work out. My entire outcome was better than I expected, it was actually exatly as he said it would turn out. If anything ever happens again, I know who to call.

To Begin with look no further for your representation. The Miller Law Firm quite literally saved my future. In March of 2017 I received my 1st DUI. My representation for that was less than ideal. I then violated my probation and DMV status by getting a 2nd DUI which resulted in a near fatal accident where I was in a coma for a week. I woke upon the miracle that no one was injured other than myself and of course the fact I had been arrested. I have spent a life dealing with legal counsel in regards to professional interests and so I was was very discerning while searching for representation. I put myself in a very very very bad situation; like felony bad situation.... that was not the trajectory I had anticipated upon. I spent days looking for the correct advocate for myself and advocate is an important concept. I ,beyond luck, came across Mr. Christopher Miller. 1. He was honest. did not sugar coat the outcome that was possible for the situation I put myself in. 2. He has the greatest "bedside manner" of any law professional I've known. He has been supportive beyond what you could possibly imagine i.e.. no judgment whatsoever, checking in on my emotional state, building confidence, and being an actual rock through remarkably bad circumstances.

3. Christopher Miller changed my future. From what could have been a felony he had it contained to a misdemeanor with the absolute minimal punishment I was to receive all while being considerate, intuitive, understanding, and beyond knowledgeable.

I really hope anyone reading this truly comprehends how rare this is and I wish you a wonderful day.

I recently found myself in one of the worst situations I had ever been in. I was certain that the career I had worked very hard for was going to be over. I had asked for advice from others who had been in situations similar to mine and one close friend had actually stated, quite firmly, that I shouldn't waste my time or money on a lawyer-- that a lawyer wouldn't really help my situation out any. My friend's advice was actually terrible advice. I quickly found out that the representation of a lawyer (a really good lawyer) during such a frightening time is priceless.

I was in absolute panic and despair and I knew I needed help. I researched lots of lawyers and I came across the excellent reviews of The Miller Law Firm so I called for a free consultation. The moment I spoke to Chris I knew he was going to be amazing. He offered immediate comfort and solace during a time when I needed it the most. His concern and reassurance allowed me to relax a little knowing he was on my side with my best interests in mind. He was available for questions and concerns the entire time we were working on my case. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the law and I honestly trusted his counsel 100%. He took his time to make sure I understood everything that was going on and what I could expect. I was incredibly pleased with the outcome of my case and I would recommend Chris to anyone. I hope I never have to need the help of a lawyer again, but the first person I would call if I do need help is Chris Miller. He's an amazing lawyer... seriously.

I spoke with many different lawyers about my case and Chris was by far the most knowledgable and compassionate attorney I spoke to...which made the choice to hire him an easy one. I couldn't be happier with the way he conducted himself with the courts and he secured the best possible outcome for me. I am deeply appreciative of his efforts and would recommend him whole-heartedly.

So I had the pleasure of Chris Millers assistance on a case I was dealing with. I had another lawyer helping me first that was a total joke but I had no idea till I had Chris to compare him to. I was really getting jacked around by but as soon as Chris came on to help me I didn't have to worry again. He was completely professional and efficient. He kept me in the loop about all things and was never too busy to answer any questions I had or to get back to me in a timely manner. The outcome of my case was better then I expected and I owe that fully to Chris. I recommend his council completely. No one will work harder for you

Chris from The Miller Law Firm is one of those criminal defense lawyers that will represent you in the most passionate of manners. Where other attorneys may quit on a case or otherwise stop being effective, Chris shines above the rest by constantly putting in an incredible amount of hard work, which shows that it's the clients that he cares most for.

Chris is my go-to attorney for counsel and guidance regarding personal injury and criminal law matters. When it comes to criminal defense, Chris really knows how to make the most of a bad situation. I've seen him get the DA to offer lesser charges not even contained in the complaint and drop the more serious charges. Chris Miller is a trial attorney, and can take your defense all the way to the jury if necessary; this simple fact bolsters Chris's negotiating power against the government lawyers. The justice system is harsh against the untrained defendant, so you need to invest in a lawyer for a proper defense. Working with Chris Miller will help you to get your life moving forward, with lesser-to-no charges on your record.

I hired Chris back in November to help me get through a DUI Case, I was nervous to be going through this process from the start, when I first met with Chris I knew he was the right guy to help me get through this case. Aside from the great legal advice, he also gave me personal advice to help let me know that I was going to get through this and life will resume as normal. He gave me solid facts and many ways we will be able to work through this case, his connections are outstanding and to have an attorney with great knowledge and great connections is what you need. He continued to fight for the lowest sentence possible working with a DA who did not want to budge and in the end he got my sentenced reduced in a huge way, forever grateful for what this man did for me. My entire process going through this case could've been the most stressful time in my life, but the way Chris was taking care of my case put me at ease which really allowed me to focus on moving forward. He is an amazing attorney and I will recommend him to anyone for any sort of case, thanks for everything Chris. You have been great this whole time and as much as I would like to hire you again, I'm afraid I won't be getting into any legal troubles again haha. Wish you the best, thank you for all your help!
