Although my case was not ultimately taken up by the Chris Mills firm, the women I spoke too on the phone were very helpful in recommending a lawyer that specialized in what I was looking for!

Don't waste your time. I called for a consultation and spoke with Leann, a legal secretary who is not attorney. She will not schedule a consultation without first having the consultation with her over the phone. She is not qualified to decide legal issues or give advice and will do nothing but argue with you because "she doesn't understand." This is why the consultation should be with an attorney. She will tell you incorrect information and make inaccurate assertions as to what the law states, time frames and court rules. Please call someone is an attorney and will allow you to utilize the advertised service of a consultation with an attorney, not a secretary. Otherwise you may lose any opportunity to address your case.

Very rude lawyer. He kept interrupting me and refused to listen to the entire story of my case. I was shocked how uncaring and rude he was. It's one thing to refuse a case, but it's another to be so rude and refuse to even listen to the facts of the case. Before you judge, ask questions.

No care nor concern for their potential clients. Needing them I was treated with the utmost disrespect. Wouldn't let me communicate then said I need to be on medication. Wow. Highly disappointed. If you want to be spoken to like a dog, call Chris!
