I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. No matter how ugly my case got I had 100% confidence that Dave and Gary would represent me well. Of all the emotions that divorce brings it was really nice to have full confidence that my lawyer would get me the best outcome possible. I highly recommend them to anyone I talk to that needs a lawyer.

David and his team did a wonderful job taking care of my divorce case and got me the parent time I deserve! I would highly recommend them to anyone. They always kept me well informed and if there were any changes to my case the let me know right away. Yes they do charge a bit but you get what you pay for and I would do it all over again with J.D. Milliner & Associates.

He and his team were incredible. Not only was his consultation thorough & informative, but he was professional and friendly. He follows up!You can often tell when someone is dedicated to their craft and not just their paycheck. When a professional lives up to the ideals of the word's intended meaning. David Milliner is one of these folks. It was a great experience and I will recommend him & his firm as long as they are in business.If you disagree, SUE ME!

Dave does great work and has wonderful expertise in business law, family law, probate law, and estate planning. I refer all of my family and friends to him if they ever need an attorney and have done so on numerous occasions. He gives great legal advice and also ensures that each client is given the best work and full attention to their case at a very reasonable rate.

This firm handled my divorce better than I could've imagined. I had a crazy ex that would not budge on any of her demands, and somehow we came out on top. I was living in San Diego at the time and handled all of my communication with my lawyer Jennifer over Skype, email and cell phone. It worked out well and I was happy they could accommodate my needs with my unique living situation. Divorce is brutal, and these great people were very patient with me even when I was acting rude and frustrated (and I apologise for that). My ex hired a big shot lawyer that probably cost double what I paid and JD milliner pulled out some lawyer magic in our mediation. I was in shock and awe that they struck me the exact deal I wanted. My ex didn't even get close to what she asked for (she didn't deserve it trust me). This law firm is very professional, even in the face of my ex wife's lawyer acting out of line. They helped me out of the most stressful time in my life and for that I will always be grateful.

I overheard a former domestic relations commissioner comment that if she were ever in need of an attorney, she would turn to David Milliner. I am glad that I did. At first, I was going to try to do my divorce on my own, but I soon realized there were many issues I had not considered. David brought many of these to my attention and made sure that my important immediate and future needs were addressed. I found him to be both assertive and reasonable.

My experience was great, going through multiple extremely complicated legal issues J.D. Milliner did a fantastic job. My assigned attorney left to pursue independent practice at the end of my case and J.D. Milliner approached the option to stay with them or transfer to the attorney who handled my case. That option or choice was to my best interest as the client, which I found honorable. I chose to let the attorney who handled my case to continue to do so regarding that specific legal issue. I continued with J.D. Milliner regarding my divorce and related divorce matters. End results were to my expectation and more.

We found ourselves named in a bankruptcy trying to eliminate a debt owed to us. J.D. Milliner & Associates, P.C. got right on that and promptly filed the necessary paperwork to stop it. The Bankruptcy lawyer had used a few tricks to keep us from finding out about the bankruptcy until it was too late to do anything about it. J.D. Milliner & Associates, P.C. stopped that. They got us a judgement which covered our legal costs and the terms for our re- payment. It would not have happened without the professional help from this great firm and J.D. Milliner. Thank you.
