Law Office of Chandra E. Miller - Auburn (CA)

5 /5 Scott: If you are faced with a family law matter, and you live in the Sacramento area - I recommend Chandra without hesitation. She handled my case with honesty, professionalism, and the kind of hard work and attention to detail that is critical for successful resolution of any complicated legal matter. Throughout my case, I was impressed with the level of respect that Chandra commanded not just from other attorneys, but also from personnel in and around the court system. She worked tirelessly for me and always took the path of highest integrity, regardless of the circumstances. You simply will not find a better attorney than Chandra to represent you.

5 /5 Tina Camera: Chandra is a beautiful person, both inside and out, and is genuinely interested in helping people. When I was 17 years old, Chandra spoke at my high school and discussed career pathways in law. I remember she had a calm demeanor and smiled a lot. Chandra has an incredible warmth, which made it easy for us as students to ask lots of questions. Because of this, I felt comfortable enough to reach out to her and ask for help with my high school senior project. She was friendly and open and willing. And looking back (being 31 now and well into my career) she must’ve been beyond busy. While I have never been a client of hers - I can speak to her practice, because out of utter kindness, she gave me the time of day to show me her office, and even take me to the courthouse she worked at, through Senate Judiciary meetings at the Capitol, and thoroughly talk me through her line of work. I was just so impressed with her level of knowledge and wit, and her passion for law. Chandra was a beautiful mentor, as we continued to meet up several times over the years. She has a good heart, and as a professional working attorney, I never felt as though she was condescending or talked down to anyone (nor has the capacity to!). Chandra has been a motivation to me for 13 years, and will continue to be. Being in my 30s now, I look back at my experience with Chandra and the impact she had on me. During my formative years she taught me the importance mentorship and kindness, and choosing work that can be an expression of passion. She is truly inspirational.

5 /5 bc nickel: When I arrived in Chandra Miller’s office, I had been separated for several years after a 20-year marriage in which my husband had handled all the finances. I was paralyzed by sadness and fear about my future. The one attorney I had previously consulted looked over my paperwork (two marital agreements drawn up by my ex-husband’s trust attorney) shook her head and said, “This is very unusual,” which I already knew. What I needed was someone with the fortitude and knowledge to guide me through a contentious divorce. Thankfully, Chandra turned out to be just that person. Right off the bat, she told me I was in for a tough fight, she was up for it, and she would not fight harder for me than I fought for myself. I was impressed with the speed and accuracy with which she assessed the legal points, as well as the emotional aspects, of my situation. She further informed me that she would not take me on as a client unless I saw a therapist. I left her office with a referral to an excellent therapist and the belief that, with Chandra as my attorney, I no longer had to be a passive bystander in my own life. I am happy to say that Chandra in action surpassed anything I could have asked for. Thanks to her dedication, intelligence and integrity, I didn’t just survive the divorce process, I came out of it with the confidence to manage my own finances and make my own decisions. Chandra’s legal acumen and intuition were invaluable in navigating a divorce complicated by two ambiguous marital agreements, and she did an outstanding job of protecting my interests every step of the way with a laser focus on details that had major consequences. At the same time, she always kept the big picture in mind and educated me throughout the process, which enabled me to withstand a lot of pressure to compromise my financial future. Chandra treated me not as a case but as a person, which meant that when the divorce was final I was left with not just a financial settlement and support (both of which I was very happy with) but the means to manage my new life. During the divorce process, she brought in a financial analyst to help us come up with a realistic settlement amount and introduced me to a trust attorney, both of whom I continue to consult today. Furthermore, Chandra has been extremely responsive and helpful when issues arise around enforcement of the marital settlement agreement. And she did all of this in a very cost-effective way, not only helping us stay out of a lengthy and very expensive court battle, but always being conscious of her own fees. Retaining Chandra as my divorce attorney will undoubtedly remain one of the best investments I will ever make.

5 /5 Jim Steed: Chandra is an outstanding attorney and deserves nothing less than 5 stars. She represented me in 2013 and 2014 through a divorce and her advice, counsel and guidance saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars. You may notice that almost all of her negative reviews are not from clients. She is outstanding in family law and will always be the one I recommend to my friends and family.

5 /5 Hugh Truex: I retained Chandra Miller for a post judgement modification of spousal support. Chandra was not my Attorney during the divorce. This was about ten years after the divorce and following my retirement. I had been very nervous as you never know how the California family court will decide. My ex was very much in favor of me paying until they kicked dirt on me. My ex and I are both in different states now so that also complicated things. During the initial phone conversation, Chandra was very honest and said she had never handled an out of state judgement modification but she would figure it out. I couldn’t get an attorney in my state that wanted to take on the case. That was a very lucky chain of events for me! Oh yea, let’s throw in the Covid nonsense with courts closed. Chandra and Katie were very calming and kept me informed. Chandra listened to what I had to say and would give me options and advise. As it turns out, VERY sound advice. The opposing attorney who had represented my ex in the initial divorce had me worried. She was tough and combative. I feel Chandra was as fair as she could be with the billing. Anything that she could have her assistant do, she did. Attorneys are not cheap, but when they work efficiently, it saves a lot of money. Chandra was outstanding. You are never guaranteed a perfect outcome. Fortunately for me, that is exactly what I got!! It didn’t even have to go to court. The black cloud is no longer over me. Chandra and Katie, you ladies are the best!! I truly mean that from my heart. And to anyone who reads this, I am a horrible writer but I gave it my best, honest shot.
