Georgia is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I was referred to her by a friend who used to be an attorney. I had called her for a consultation to gain some perspective on my case and to see if I should drop my lawyer. She really listens and gave very realistic advice. I would much rather hire someone as diligent as Georgia instead.
I had a very difficult legal issue and went to Ms. McMillen. I really appreciated how thorough she was and her depth of knowledge on solutions to my problem. She was kind and generous, willing to listen to me yet, She didn't give me false hope but was directly to the point which I appreciated very much. I know some lawyers will give you lots of hope on a very difficult matter because that is how they make their living... Ms. McMillen right up front didn't want to give me false hope but was very clear about my case. She listened to me, heard me out and gave me her honest opinion. I felt that for her level of expertise I was getting a great deal by going with her. I really couldn't ask for more in an attorney
Georgia was honest and very complete in her review of my case. She could have accepted my money and fought a case that was likely a losing battle. But rather than looking at financial gain she did the best she could with my budget and gave me sound advice. She went above and beyond for me and I sincerely appreciate her.
I have used Georgia McMillen several times in the past. She is diligent, immediately available and digs in and gets the job done. Best of all she takes the time to explain things to me so that I understand my alternatives and the next move to make. To be honest, before her I was not pleased with lawyers but she turned my thinking around. Now I know there are good lawyers out there and she is the best I have found.
I was in Afghanistan when i got a letter from my Ex saying that she wanted a 100 percent custody of my son. I must of called like 4 or 5 lawyers. Some who just stated that i should of given her custody because i was far and i was not going to win the case. Then i called Georgia. She was realistic, calm and well as positive. She heard my story. Took the time to make a plan and explain to me the whole process. She was more than supportive and positive. At the end of the ordeal, i got 50 percent custody of my son and i see him enough to were i still feel like a dad. She guided me trough the whole ordeal and i am very grateful to have hired not just a good lawyer but a great person.
We had a legal matter and didn't know who to call or how to pursue. This was an area of uncertainty for us. Attorney Georgia McMillen was the first to return our call. After our first meeting we felt assured and at ease in her handling our case. Georgia was prompt in responding, worked diligently, personal and confidential, and was very effective in her work. Her direction lead us to a positive outcome. We are very satisfied with our experience with Attorney Georgia McMillen.
Georgia McMillen represented my case with a firm hand and well researched knowledge of the law. She kept me informed of up to date correspondence between our parties and listened to my input as well. Georgia followed thru to a successful conclusion. She's an advocate for justice and doesn’t waver in her persuit. I recommend her highly. She’s excellent.
I was challenged by a very unusual marital situation where my wife was basically wasting away our marital assets (money). I feared losing all of my hard-earned assets and sought divorce assistance from attorney Georgia McMillen. To make a long story short, I was able to keep just about all my assets, including my two houses, my retirement income and my three automobiles. I would highly recommend attorney McMillen to represent anyone seeking a divorce.
My case was unusual because I needed an attorney to help evaluate a family trust related case to bring to the prosecutor --not defend against prosecution. I selected Ms McMillen for her extensive background in both State and Federal cases where presenting a complaint before the appropriate jurisdiction would be a critical decision point. She proved very thorough in asking questions, reviewing any material evidence I could offer and identifying specific laws that may have been violated by the then trustee. Being laser focused and very detailed, she found items that I missed in the trust billing statement, contacted the trust attorney identifying and, in connection with other evidence, gave me possible courses of action and risks I had moving forward including but not limited to applicable statute of limitations to consider. She did all of this in an open and very cost effective (i.e. time efficient) manner -- always managing expectations, timelines and costs. While I ultimately declined to move forward with prosecution due to potential harm to unintended parties should prosecution ensue, Ms McMillen would be an exceptional choice should the need for an effective criminal defense or prosecution case preparation exist.
Georgia McMillen is very thorough and knowledgeable. She conducted research and got her facts in line with the background to my case. She was keen on keeping me informed through the process without embellishing and "sugar-coating" the possible outcomes. I would recommend Georgia to my friends if they want reliable and hard-working representation.
