Family and Divorce Law

111 Jefferson St N, Huntsville, AL 35801

Melissa Miller is a family law and criminal defense attorney in Huntsville, Alabama, where she practices at Melissa Miller Law Firm. She has served Madison and Limestone Counties since 2014, with military divorce and fathers’ rights among the matters she handles. For online divorce consultations, Miller meets with clients herself over Zoom. That part of the practice extends beyond the two counties: the firm offers online divorce and mediation throughout Alabama, but restricts in-person representation to Madison and Limestone Counties. Its Huntsville office is on Jefferson Street North. Divorce is one part of the firm’s family law work. Its fee schedule also lists custody and paternity cases, child support disputes, and proceedings involving modification or contempt. Adoptions are listed separately, with services for stepparent, relative and adult adoptions. The criminal practice covers both misdemeanors and felonies, as well as expungements. Miller reviews the circumstances of a case at the consultation before quoting a flat fee. Under the firm’s billing policy, the initial payment covers the first stage, including preparation of documents, initial filings and discovery, and communications. It is not necessarily the last legal fee in a case: mediation, temporary hearings, depositions or preparation for trial may require another flat fee. The policy also separates legal fees from outside expenses. Filing fees and payments to mediators, guardians ad litem and process servers are third-party costs paid by the client.
