Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.
However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!

I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens

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!
