I'm going through my first custody battle and, so far, they have been great at answering any questions I may have. They have been very flexible with my scheduling ave would definatley recommend!

When I first contacted Ogar and Miller it was with the intent of hiring Helen Ogar. I had done my research and found several people that praised Helen Ogar as a “bulldog” saying she did a great job of fighting for her clients. However, Helen was not accepting new clients, so I was referred by her paralegal to her partner Todd instead. I mistakenly assumed Todd would be just like his partner. Instead, Todd seems bored by what he does, he lacks passion, has little to no fight in him, and if lawyers had such a thing as “bedside manner” Todd’s bedside manner would be nonexistent. He has little patience or tolerance for the emotional side of a divorce and does nothing to make things easier on his clients. His paralegal Nichole is really no better in that regard. I also found myself having to follow up multiple times to make sure things were getting done in a timely manner. Mistakes were made by them that could have and frankly should have been avoided. Ultimately after 6 months, and right before we were supposed to go to trial I finally became so frustrated by the service (or lack thereof) that I was being given I decided to voice my frustrations in an email. I felt I wasn’t being heard, they weren’t doing their due diligence, and I was fed up. I made it clear I would be writing a review of my experience with their law firm and it would be honest. I did not use derogatory language, I simply voiced my concerns to them. They did not take my negative feedback well and Todd decided to withdraw as my lawyer. That’s right, in the 11th hour they quit my case because their feelings were hurt. In 6 months I spent over $20,000 in legal fees to this firm, only to get nowhere with my case. I will not be recommending this firm to anyone.

Helen & Jenny are the best!!!

Helen Ogar was representing the father of my child in a family case today via zoom. I’m going to assume she didn’t mean to send this message to everyone but she did. How unprofessional. A “well respected” attorney in Bloomington speaking poorly about the person she is up against. Way to go Helen!

I have had Todd Miller be my divorce attorney for the last eight years or so. Todd has always been responsive to my requests and has helped me navigate some highly unusual legal situations. He does a great job at helping you understand the risk/reward when pursuing your legal options and is very matter of fact about where you could be wasting your money. Simply put, Todd tries to get maximum benefit for his clients without spending unnecessarily. Contrary to the bad rap that many attorneys get as "dragging it out to make more money", Todd is mindful of the expense and seeks to keep costs in check so you aren't wasting your money. I would highly recommend Todd to anyone needing a family law attorney.

I had Helen Ogar as my divorce attorney and she is only person who could negotiate with my narcissistic ex-husband. I would recommend her and this entire office to anyone divorcing a difficult spouse.

Helen has been amazing. Thank you!

Spent a lot of money for nothing.
