The Miller Family Law Group

Matt Miller and his wife/​partner Evalina were used for my divorce/​child custody case. Horrific service. Promised the world and delivered nothing. Had to fight with him on every issue. Including the dividing of the assets, his lack of work, and his lack of ever returning my phone call or email personally and sending me to his wife to answer questions. A few times his wife told me to do specific things, and then he said «I don’t know why you did that»… Well, because «Evelina told me to do that, or I wouldn’t have done that.»
Nothing was ever divided in my case as the property issue kept getting kicked down to a later date meaning more money for him for each appearance and filing. He wanted me to accept much less because that’s what opposing council wanted and he never wanted to fight for my case and argue. I had to do my own work on it and got no where trying to negotiate with my ex who is impossible. Lost a good amount of time, sanity, and money dealing with issues.
Mr Miller has a temper. He got upset with me and talked down to me, when we didn’t see eye to eye. But what does he expect when it’s your money he is losing in court. He charged me for everything. Even issues that were because of his own doing or lack of handling them in court. We then would have to go back again to court and charge me more money. He even refused to do any additional work in the middle of a horrible child custody trial, unless I gave him additional funds leaving. This left me in a horrible bind and the anxiety of possibly losing my children.
During a custody trial, he did a poor job in court and did not argue well. He would make his argument, let opposing counsel question, and then say «no further questions.» He never called out my ex during cross examined when clearly, he was lying and we had solid substantial evidence /​proof of it. He did not object when he should have. His arguments were weak and he did not drive in the issues at hand. He was reactionary which left us always on the defensive.
In the end, he wanted to charge me for my file. This was after I lost custody of my children. He was so quick to tell me I needed to pay for the services (or lack there of) or I would be charged interest and that they would come after me. They have continued to harass me with bills and nasty emails.
I would give 0 stars but that’s not an option on Unilocal

I used Matthew Miller for my divorce/​child custody several years ago and for another matter recently. To this day I continue to be immensely grateful for his services. At a difficult/​emotional time you need someone you can trust to represent your best interests. Together with his wife/​partner, Evelina, they did a great job for me. They look like (and are!) very nice people, but don’t be fooled, they both have a tough side and know when to bring it out! I was completely comfortable that my interests would be protected by them.
While being knowledgeable and professional, they have always been accessible and available. They’ve always answered my questions, explained everything fully and I’ve never felt like they were talking down to me.
I certainly hope I’m not in the situation to need their services again, but I highly recommend Matthew and Evelina Miller as family law attorneys.

Evelina and Matthew Miller are definitely the best family law attorneys I have ever worked with. We came to them with a very complicated non-​custodial, non-​parental child abduction situation. Our situation to say the least, was unbelievable. Evelina took on the Laguna Beach Police Department, Sheriff’s Department and the Orange County Child Protective Services. She is a rock star! Evelina and Matthew saw the injustice and fought for us. I will continue to use The Miller Family Law Group for all of our legal matters that are in their realm of expertise. I feel so strongly about their capabilities and their dedication that I am willing to put my personal phone number on this review for anyone who wants to hear more can call me (714−863−7832).

The best duo group for family law! Both are professional, friendly, and attentive to all their clients. I have and will continue to refer anyone needing help with any issues to them. I myself was referred by my aunt who had them handling her divorce. Without them I would not have fully understood what was going on with the custody battle; and thanks to them I got more than I could have asked for.

Matthew has always been professional, thoroughly informing me of all my legal options including pros and cons of each. He communicates clearly and quickly, and effectively manages opposing counsel both in negotiation and in keeping things on schedule. He works well over email and phone, and face to face consultation was rarely necessary. He was able to settle all matters in a very volatile case without any litigation. I highly recommend Matthew as an attorney and advisor.
