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

I was very nervous when I had to go to court over a traffic accident I was recently involved in. Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity. By the time Dan was finished questioning the other people involved in the accident I did not even have to testify (which was the major source of my nervousness). My innocence was clear to everyone in the room, thanks to Dan. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. Aside from his performance during the hearing he was very easy to contact and always kept appointments with me. He also answered all of my questions patiently and with understanding.- Client

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!
