On 9-20-15 I hired Dan Miller to represent a friend of mine that was in some legal trouble in Virginia Beach. At first the response from Dan was amazingly fast and he called me back and sounded confident. I had looked on the internet for lawyers practicing law in Virginia Beach and his name pop up. Checking the very few reviews on Dan Miller seem as if he would be a good candidate. I am from SC so base on the reviews I hire him for a bail trail retainer at $500.00. We spoke often about my friend's case and he insured me he would do his very best to help. That was until he received the money and then I notice a sight change in his mannerisms. He went from having a positive out look on the case to stating phrases like well there so much bad that can happen I really don't know. He visit my friend in jail once and then promise he was going to go see her afterwards but he never did. The bond hearing came and my friend stated he was very negative and short worded with her. As if since he is a lawyer he could talk down on someone experiencing hardship of the legal system. Immediately, I was contacted by my friend in a letter stating how Dan Miller did not seem professional or confident in helping with the preliminary case. I called Dan Miller number in which it goes to his secretary who seems to be rude and short winded as well. First thing she stated was in order for Dan Miller to further assist with the legal proceedings then she needed a payment of $1000 to retain him. At this point I wanting to hear from Dan Miller so I can be assured that he was the man for the job. THAT WAS MY BIGGEST MISTAKE. I talked with Dan Miller and he went into a big discussion about how so much could go bad and a bunch of legal terms that did not make any sense. Then he stated how he would do his very best to fight for my friend to get the best outcome period. At this point he was basically pacifying me in order to get $1,000 for the preliminary trial. I hired him and process the fee with my credit card of $1000 with his very rude secretary on 9-22-15. A couple of days went by I hardly heard from him which is ok since he was representing my friend. But I thought at least a call just letting me know the details since I did pay for his service. I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING. My friend in jail since me a letter about how he was making broken promises and how he was very negative about the whole situation. Not only did then make her upset but me as well considering she was pregnant at the time. So her family hired a different lawyer within a couple days since I paid him the $1000. I tried to get in direct contact with Dan Miller and tell him his service was no longer needed and if I could get my $1000 back since no work was being performed for my friends trail. I left messages and spoke with his secretary and nothing happen. I was at work making a honest living and receive a call I could not take. There was a Voice Mail left by Dan Miller stating "sorry I can not give back the $1000 i did do work on the case, bye." At this point I was like WOW not only is his unprofessional but he believes in getting paid for not doing any work. I was very upset I filed a dispute with my credit card company and receive a credit. Later in the year supposedly a letter was sent out to my address stating he was now suing me for the $1000 that he did not earn. With my work I travel and I never receive the letter of judgement and did not think much of it. Thats when a Big Disturbance happen on my end and the $1000 was GARNISHED FROM MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HIS SERVICE THIS IS A WARNING. I do not want any else to go through what I have experience today. This is not only not right but bad business practice in our legal system. At this time I voice my opinion due to the fact that no lawyer under any circumstance should take advantage of their clients by doing little or no work at all. And still expect to be paid for a service that was not given. I repeat DO NOT BE FOOLED. Take the time to make the best legal discussion starting off by not hiring Dan Miller.

More than 75% of the time I dealt with his paralegal, both in person and via email. When dealing with the paralegal many of my questions would go unanswered, despite repeatedly asking in plain-language emails. At one point I met with Mr. Miller and his paralegal face-to-face regarding information they alleged was previously provided to me. They affirmed the info was provided, however when he went through his emails at his computer he could produce no such correspondence. The one time he needed to meet me somewhere (opposing counsel's office) he was late. Instances such as these, as well as others, made me feel that his office did not value me as a client. I received OUTSTANDING customer service from the front-office staff.

Divorce client " Call Dan Miller now - you need look no further for the best divorce attorney in Hampton Roads. Divorce is not an easy situation but it is even worse if you do not have good representation. I was in the midst of a divorce and my case was with a firm that was not representing me fairly and not answering my questions. I was at a loss and dreaded going to court. Then a friend told me of Dan Miller. I wish I had found this firm in the beginning! From the first hour of turning my case over to this office I stopped worrying. I knew I had made the right choice and my case was in good hands. Dan Miller was professional, and he fought for me and I was very happy with the way he handled my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone!"

I had called the office for a consultation to see if I had a case and also to see how much it would cost. As his website states he offers free consultations. The receptionist took down my name and set up an appointment for me which she asked if I had called before. I told her I did not think so however it is possible since I called several law offices for another matter a few months back. She set up the appointment for 3PM. I was feeling better knowing that I could get some legal advice on what to do as my ex is not paying a credit card which the ratified divorce settlement states is his responsibility. It is a pretty clear cut case but instead of going it alone I was planning to hire an attorney. I called in a few minutes before 3PM and was placed on hold. At 3 PM the Attorney Dan Miller came on the line and asked me how he could help. I started to explain my situation by saying I was curious what my rights were, or what I could do..... at that point he interrupted me and told me that I had called his office at least 4 other times and he provides free consultations as a benefit to the community which his time is valuable and basically he did not appreciate me wasting his time. Then he hung up and I was left dumb founded and surprised to be treated so unprofessional. It is possible that I called his office more than once since he has three different locations and I have had two other problems with my ex following our Divorce Decree. I do not live in Norfolk and there are not a lot of attorney's who offer free consultations. I used Google to get Lawyer contacts. I was honest with the receptionist when I made the appointment that it is possible I spoke with them before but I was not sure. Normally I do not write reviews however I was truly upset by the way he treated me without even giving me the time of day to hear what it was I was asking for. In my opinion, that is rude and completely unprofessional. I did call back after he hung up and spoke with him to let him know my concerns which he offered to hear my case, and I explained I would prefer not to do business with him based on the previous call. At that point he did hang up on me again. I am shocked a professional service would treat a potential client in such a fashion.

Mr. Miller came to the court room with the experience and knowledge on how to reach the best possible outcome in my case. Throughout the process Mr. Miller and his team were always polite and informative. I was kept in the loop at all times with changes in case, while never having the " I hope I didn't waste my money" thought cross my mind. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Miller to family and friends. charge- DUI outcome- dismissed

Mr. Miller and his team were exceptional. I was charged with something I definitely did not do - and the cop was a jerk to me because of a previous conviction. Mr. Miller was great, the charge was dismissed and the cop looked stupid. His team kept in contact, and they were all very friendly. I will definitely recommend Mr Miller to family and friends.
