I personally have requested Mr. Mills' help on three occasions. For differing reasons wen family or friends were in need of legal assistance, I referred them Mr. Mills for the initial legal contact knowing if he personally could not help them he would direct them to another legal source who could. Not once have I heard any negative remarks about him and to his exceptional credit everyone was pleased and their concerns settled. Thank you, Mr. Mills.

I highly recommend attorney John Mills. In his area of expertise there is no better. I have found he has the knowledge and drive to win any case. In my dealing with him he was always responsive to my needs but at the same time would tell me like it was and not just tell me what I wanted to hear. His highest concern his his client. He is not afraid to refer you to another attorney if he felt this was in your best interest. Overall,his would be the first number I would call if I needed an attorney again.

I hired Mr. Mills for a Criminal Case. He asked me solid questions and Developed a Convincing Defense. He lead me through my Deposition with Great care and introduced a line of questioning that lead to my personal evidence. At that moment I felt I won my case. In the end, I won. Mr. Mills is a Real Professional taking time out to give advice and illustrations to help you understand and feel good about your case.

John Mills was a beacon of hope to my daughter and I at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Mr. Mills strived to defend me from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My daughter and I are eternally grateful for his service, professionalism, and I hereby recommend Mr. Mills without reservation.

John is a top notch attorney! I personally utilized his services for a family law issue and I was EXTREMELY pleased with his work and the outcome. His knowledge of the law and professionalism is unmatched. Divorce and post-marital issues can be extremely stressful and emotional and John has an uncanny ability to put his clients at ease. John is also extremely accessible. Anytime I have called or sent an email, I get a response the same day if not right away. John took my case to trial without hesitation and was extremely prepared and did an excellent job presenting my case to the judge. I have recommended and will continue to recommend John Mills and I do that with complete confidence!

Mr. Mills was very professional and took time with me to gather specific facts related to my situation. The information and advice that I was given were very helpful in allowing me to fully consider the consequences of a contested divorce, including what I could expect to have the court do if the case went to trial. Having the legal process explained to me and knowing what to expect if I proceeded with the divorce was helpful. How and when attorney fees will be expected to be paid was explained including court costs that would have to be paid. I did not feel any pressure to hire him and was encouraged to seek a second opinion if I was uncertain about anything that he had told me, but I was very satisfied with his concern and interest in my case. It is likely I will have to hire him to represent me since the situation is not improving.
