Anthony and his team helped me through one of the most difficult situations in my life with my divorce. I went in scared, full of anxiety, and without hope. They were patient and reassuring. Anthony was fierce in court and was able to shut down false and unjust attempts from the opposing counsel. He fought for me and was able to help us come to a fair and agreeable settlement. I went in without hope and came out feeling relieved and happy with the outcome.

I would be very cautious in using this law firm. My attorney from this firm, Anthony Barajas, did not give me the rigorous legal representation I expected, deserved, and paid for. Despite a very optimistic first consultation, my outcome was very undesirable. My attorney from this firm did not work any deals with the other party to try and obtain a fair deal for me in any way. My ex got everything she wanted. She got total maximum support. Plus she was able to successfully alienate my child from me. Miller & Associates/Mr. Barajas could not or would not help me with that. My ex's attorney worked very hard for her. Got her results. The outcome I received using Miller & Associates has me unable to afford my monthly expenses. I am now negative funds every month. Never see my child. And the ex gets to claim the child for taxes, even though I'm the one providing support. Her attorney got all that for her. It's very clear to me this law firm doesn't care about any of this. I was just being processed through the proceedings. During court proceedings, my attorney hardly said a word. Hardly anything at all to represent anything for me. The other attorney on the other hand, left no stone unturned. I will rate 2 stars because at least the paralegal that worked with me showed the highest level of professionalism, and kept things organized and on track. Even if it was a bad outcome, that earned another star. This firm overall made me feel like I was alone in my divorce proceedings. I would advise potential clients of this firm to be aware. If I have anything else to do from this case going forward, or if my ex wants to modify agreements, I will not use the services of Miller & Associates. I will look elsewhere for legal representation. Take that for what it is.

Chad and his team handled my divorce. I went to Chad after spending a year with another attorney who treated me as a number, not a client. Chad was recommended by a friend and I was impressed from day one. He and his team of great professionals cared about what I was going through and sincerely looked out for my best interest at every turn. His advice was invaluable and without his representation the outcome wold have been much different. He is smart, tough, reponsive, and truly cares about his clients best interest. Through this experience I count him not only as my attorney, but a friend. I highly recommend Chad and his team!

Erica and her staff did an excellent job analyzing my unique situation and educating me on my options as a new employee in California. The process was long and took a bit of work; but I’m happy I hired her firm to represent me.

Erica is AWESOME! I've been acquainted with her for several years and recently retained her as our company's labor lawyer. What first impressed me is that after a seminar she presented, I had questions. I returned to the office, emailed Erica, and immediately rec'd a response. Not only that we had a back and forth email conversation which was extremely informative and helpful. Since then, she has been my go to.

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Rocklin, California?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
