what is a "mill lawyer"

by Prof. Tracy Cassin 10 min read

Sometimes a seemingly high-powered legal firm that handles personal injury cases is nothing more than what is known as a “settlement mill.” A settlement mill is a high-volume personal injury practice that rarely takes a case to trial because they make more money by settling every case quickly.Mar 13, 2018

Why the Social Security Disability lawyer you choose matters

Social Security Disability is a critical “safety net” for those who, through no fault of their own, have become unable to work to support themselves and their families. It’s a wonderful program in theory. In practice, however, it’s not uncommon for even the most qualified candidates to have their claims denied.

What Our Clients Say

"I am so grateful and thankful that I chose Rutter Mills to handle my Social Security Disability Application! They completed and submitted the application on our very first office visit.

Professional, Competent & Honest

Hired John and received nothing but solid and effective counsel and will be using his service again in the future. More attorney's should have John's ethical and moral character. Does not gouge his clients and is more than fair!

Excellent Professional

John has excellent knowledge and high integrity. He did not charge for a quick discussion that I ended up not even needing extra services. I was recommended to him from someone who had a perfect experience with a real estate matter. His correspondence is highly effective.

I'm begging you to STAY AWAY!!!

Please don't make the same mistake I did. I rarely write online reviews, but I hope this helps someone out. He charged me double what he quoted me, was very lost when his one and only office personnel was out, showed absolutely no sense of urgency on time-sensitive matters, and definitely did not take into account what was in my best interest.

Did what he promised

Mills and McDermott represented me on charges that I was facing 15+ years. Truth be told the evidence against me was stacked. It cost me quite a bit but they did what they promised and I never set foot in jail or prison for one day. Highly recommend this team. -Matt M

Charges dropped and record wiped clean!

It took a long time as the wheels of JUSTICE move very slowly, but the felony charges against me were dropped and the record expunged! I'm so excited I can finally move on with my life!

Caring

Kevin Mills cares about his clients. Not only did he successfully have my drug charges dropped, but he also went the extra mile and helped me enter a rehab facility. My experience with Kevin was more than exceptional.

The best around

Mr. Mills is by far the best attorney around. From the moment I hired his firm, my case was taken seriously and I felt I was treated as a top priority. Mr. Mills took time personally to listen and explain the different paths that could be taken to address my case. In the end my case was dismissed and I could not have been happier with Mr.

Kevin saved my son's life

"Kevin, Shawn and Coop saved my son from getting a 20 year federal sentence. Thanks to them my son went to rehab instead of a long prison sentence. We call Kevin and his team our "Dream Team"!"

Really cared about my case and my future

Mr Mills handled my case when I found myself charged with a misdemeanor offense. He was kind and he listened to me. I had never been charged with a crime before, therefore I was truly scared. The result in my case was a "complete dismissal"! Now I can go on with my life. Thank you Mr Mills.

WARNING. BE VERY CAREFUL OF THEIR BILLING

WARNING. BE VERY CAREFUL OF THEIR BILLING. I paid $7,500 as a ONE time full upfront fee to represent my girlfriend. Then I get notice that they want another $7,500, even before they went to trial. I was also under the belief that Kevin Mills himself was going to represent my girlfriend and he did not.
