Best Divorce Lawyers Broward county

Steven’s desire to help people led him in to family law where he and his brother saw the need to provide low cost/flat fee services as a solution to folks who needed legal help but simply could not afford to pay exorbitant retainers and hourly fees charged by billable hour lawyers. They began the painstaking process of building a website to deliver the message and services. Unfortunately, the old axiom about not going into business with a family member reared its ugly head and the brothers’ business relationship ended in “divorce.” The brothers have had a case or two together along the way but the relationship has not been mended.

Steven is passionate about providing no-nonsense answers to legal issues. His answers can best be described as blunt, forthright and black and white. He does not mince words and talks in plain English, not legal mumbo-jumbo. Steven’s “love” of lawyers is epic. Though he truly believes that there are good, honest diligent lawyers in Florida, experience tells him that the trials and tribulations of practicing law in the current state of affairs, lends itself to lawyers putting their interests ahead of the client’s. Most lawyers, when presented with a new case, should be able to tell the potential client, within reasonable certainty, what the outcome will be whether the case settled today, tomorrow or a year down the road. Does the lawyer need to know every fact to form such an opinion – no. They simply need to know enough to be able to form the opinion within reasonable certainty. Do opinions change along the way? Sometimes, but if the client has been forthright, it will not change in any great way. Unfortunately, in family law, Steven’s experience is that most lawyers want to keep cases going and going and going. Why? It doesn’t take a rocket science to figure the motivation if the lawyer is getting paid by the hour. Steven tells his clients what they need to know, not what they want to hear; two very different things to be sure.

Steven D. Miller, P.A., provides services to those who simply would not be able to afford large retainers and billable hours. An average fee for a billable hour lawyer handling an uncontested Florida divorce can range anywhere from $1,500.00 to whatever the lawyer can extract. Steven D. Miller, P.A. has and will continue to provide flat fee services. Legal work should be done by lawyers and everyone should have access to a member of the Florida Bar regardless of income. Sometimes cases get a bit out of control: issues may arise that were not contemplated at the outset; a job may be lost or an unexpected medical issue may present itself. Unlike many billable hour lawyers who say sayonara when the client’s money runs out, Steven is loath to cut a client loose for financial reasons.
