Asked these guys a simple question in seeking legal advice - "we own a home and rented it out - the…read morerenters caused damages far in excess of the security deposit - about $4000 worth, they gave a 5 day notice as to when they were moving out while on a month to month lease, and they took a tv that did not belong to them. What can we do?" They said "if less than $2000, it's not worth doing anything." (that includes small claims court). For the rest of the stuff, they had no answers, except, "hire us for $200/hour." No telling what the resolution could be, if we should expect to collect any of our losses, just essentially a "hire us and hope." Who in their right mind pays $200/hr for a job in which there is no clue as to how many hours it will be/what the end result will be? I know lawyers have to make a living and respect the hourly rate, but to be as vague as these guys were, they are an absolute waste of time to talk to. Look elsewhere if you actually want lawyers who understand things.

We usually deal with Josh when my wife needs legal assistance with her rental properties and they…read morealso did both of our wills. Josh is the son and you have his dad and their secretary also. They are so awesome. Very easy to talk to, they shoot you straight and I really look forward to seeing them when we go in there. I'd love to have Josh as a neighbor. Ive dealt with lawyers that were very stand offish and made me feel uncomfortable and then there's these folks. I'd be totally comfortable letting them handle any legal issue I had that they were capable of handling.

I hired Mr Birdwhistell in May of 2011 to do a simple divorce proceeding. Pretty easy as I left and…read moredid not want any material possessions except my car. The divorce was filed with the court on 5-20-2011. Birdwhistell day on my divorce for almost 2 years. My divorce wasn't finalized until 1-16-2013. There is no reason that my case should have taken that long. Everyone I know that divorced had their divorce completed and finished within 3 months. The only reason I think that Mr Birdwhistell placed my divorce on the back burner is because it was a cheap divorce. His cousin referred me to him and he gave me a "discount" of $700 for the divorce. So I truly believe if you are going to pay big bucks to Mr Birdwhistell - he will get you finished right away. Money talks. You get what you pay for. He is supposed to be the best divorce lawyer in town, but only if you can pay for it. Otherwise, he will sit and sit and not help you a bit. I had to text him finally in January of 2013 "I just want to be divorced- what is going on?!" So it took 20 months for my marriage to be dissolved. I would recommend anyone but this greedy bastard.

· Knowledgeable/Capable The moment we spoke over the phone,…read morehe immediately put me at ease and felt assured that he could help with my case. He had a very good grasp of the process, mechanics of the system and the interdependencies of the case.

It took only a week to resolve my case, a speedy process. · Sense of Urgency/Follow Through Once he was provided with the information and discussed the detail of my case, he went to work.

He achieved that!!! He was instrumental in reducing my case from 4 to 1 charges. He was strategic in the planning and execution that led to a favorable and fair outcome of my case. Don't call this counselor last, call him FIRST!! Thank You, Atty. Eric Bates!

But I've struggled with heart disease leading to many surgeries and disability that has worsened over the last few years. Kevin McDowell called me and reassured me that I did, in fact, have a good case. They called and updated me on the case almost weekly. They kept me very involved in my case and told me every step. And also helped with all my appeals. I think their hard work and their ability to really empathize with their clients led me to winning my case. I highly recommend them. If you want an office that will walk you through every step, then choose this office!!! They have changed my life for the better!

Hired Wes Durham for divorce representation. He failed to give basic guidance and acted like I…read moreshould magically know everything I needed to do- like I get a divorce every day. When I pointed it out, he got angry instead of helping. His clerks were rude and even blamed me for their mistakes. He bragged about his own house instead of focusing on mine. And despite me arriving 15 minutes early, he left me sitting in the waiting room for over 30 minutes past my scheduled appointment. I paid for legal support and got dismissiveness, arrogance, and wasted time. Retiring or not, clients deserve better. To make matters worse, Mr. Durham delayed releasing my case file after I terminated services until I threatened them with contacting the Kentucky Bar Association, dragging out an already stressful process. I was expecting a refund, however, they wanted to charge me even MORE than what I'd already paid. His final invoice was padded with excessive charges- $75 for a single summary letter and hundreds more for redundant 'review' and 'emails.' Even basic client communication was billed as though it were complex litigation. After I disputed the charges, the firm only waived the remaining balance when I made it clear I was ready to involve the Kentucky Bar Association. That's twice I had to threaten them with the Bar Association, and they caved both times. Beware.

I do not even know where to begin. I will not name the previous attorney that I hired. I will say…read morethat if it were not for Doug Miller of Miller and Durham I would not be able to see my two little ones. Mr Miller is one of the hardest working attorney's I have come across. The staff at Miller and Durham is the best and most understanding people there. I have not once felt like I was treated as a case, but like I actually mattered to these folks. It is not easy for a father to gain custody of his children, and for what reason who knows. Mr Miller did not back down in my case and fought for me and my children. IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND GOING THROUGH ANY LEGAL MATTER AT ALL IT WOULD BE IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO CHOOSE MILLER AND DURHAM!!!! I WILL ALWAYS BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN.
