Brett Holladay is the best divorce attorney in Charlotte, and I can't thank him enough for his exceptional work. From the start, he made me feel so comfortable during one of the worst times of my life. He prepared me for everything, making sure I understood every step of the process and always keeping my best interests at heart. Brett's dedication and expertise ensured that I received all I deserved. I'm incredibly grateful for the way he handled my case, and I will continue to use him if any additional amendments are needed. I highly recommend Brett to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled attorney.
Courtney K.
Brett is by far a saving grace. Very personable, incredibly knowledgeable, and definitely had my and my child’s best interest. He made my custody process easy and understandable.
Gabrielle F.
Extremely professional, proficient, caring, and friendly. I would highly recommend and suggest using this firm. Although divorce/family law is painful, Miller, Bowles, and Cushing are wonderful attorneys that I will always consider friends!
J B.
Bret Holladay is an super-smart, highly professional family lawyer, and a genuine pleasure to collaborate with in resolving domestic disputes. And Katie Miller is the consummate professional: not only does she "know her stuff," she brings a level of kindness, compassion, and genuine relatability that is sometimes all too rare in our profession. She also applies her exceptional blend of creativity and empathy to bear on any case she mediates or collaborates on, and your case will be in excellent hands with her in either role.
Chris O.
Chris Miller has been an incredibly supportive, informative, and detail-oriented lawyer throughout my separation and divorce process. He gave thoughtful attention not only to my case but also to the well-being of my children. Chris was always available to talk or email, making sure I fully understood every step of the process. He answered all of my questions with clarity, patience, and efficiency. His approach combined care and expertise—a balance that made a difficult time much more manageable. I’m truly grateful for his guidance and professionalism

Very professional, Bethany is experienced and was a delight to work with. She made my process smooth and seamless by taking the time to answer any questions that I had.
Carshell S.
Kate Miller handled my separation agreement. It was done quickly and easily at a very reasonable cost. I would recommend anyone who needs a family law attorney work with Kate!
Matthew R.
My opinion of Miller-Bowles Law Firm based on my personal experiences with them is they are an exceptional all around law firm! All my calls to the firm were answered by an individual, usually Jo Ann at the front desk. She was always helpful, kind and made certain my messages were delivered in a timely manner. Alex, my paralegal was very knowledgeable and reliable. She provided great customer service and was very kind. Bethany, my attorney was very confident, intelligent and an excellent communicator. Her negotiating skills were extraordinary, settling my case within four months. Her creative skills during negotiations were impressive to watch. Bethany was compassionate during our interactions assuring that I understood the processes involved with my case. I spent nearly forty years in law enforcement and had dealings with many attorneys in that tenure. I have to say that Bethany is one of the most accomplished attorneys I’ve met in all those years. Her total skill set is impressive and she is very capable of handling any situation in or out of a court setting. Thank you Bethany and all the Miller-Bowles staff who carried me through a most difficult life event.
Glenn L.
The law firm that fully understands it’s not always the service you want to need, but is right there when you do need them. Brett Holladay gave the exact level of support and communication needed for my situation. I am grateful!
Shana H.
Bethany was so kind and helpful during my short time working with her. Would highly recommend working with her!
Kaitlyn Y.
Note: Accidently posted this from my work account. My highest praise to Nick Cushing. I had 2 prior lawyers who only cared about billable hours costing me over $20,000 for a divorce with no children, only 1 asset (primary home),and my exhusband had a DUI, hit & run, and history of alcoholism. My previous lawyers gave Nick garbage to work with and he got me an end quickly and I actually got to keep some assets . The agreements and settlements written by my previous lawyer were so poorly written they contradicted themselves and were extremely vague. My case should have been a slam dunk, but it took over 2 years to end. After my first 1 hour consultation, Nick had everything he needed to draft my contempt of court hearing. All documents were clearly defined to the level that was beyond a shadow of a doubt. He gave me peace of mind again. This is the level of professionalism Nick brings to the table. Nick Cushing is worth every penny and was more expensive per hour than my other lawyers and charged me less overall. It took my other lawyers hours to write something, but it only took Nick one time hear my concern and implement it immediately. My friend, who was impressed with Nick's results, switched to Miller Bowles Cushing. 10 stars out of 5.
May K.
Bethany was encouraging of questions and seems very knowledgeable of strategy and law.
Jeremy Q.
I can't emphasize enough how great this firm was and easy to work with. I travel a lot for work and they were able to make this a very smooth process despite my schedule. I don't plan to use them again for a divorce as there shouldn't be a next time haha but I recommend that you do! You won't be disappointed.
Stephen D.
I just wanted to give a Huge shoutout to Katie Miller for helping me through all my legal needs. This firm is one if not the best in Charlotte. I definitely would recommend them for any law needs.
Kaycee S.
I worked with Brett through my separation and divorce. He was very knowledgeable yet friendly through a difficult time. I would recommend him to others. He was responsive via email and phone calls as well as in office visits.
Miranda O.
I worked through a divorce with Nick Cushing as my attorney. He was professional and has a top notch paralegal. They both gave me the information and guidance I needed to feel great about the decisions I made. I would recommend the firm and specifically Nick to someone in any family law situation that they needed the best. Thank you Nick and Scarlett
Shawn B.
I highly recommend Brett!
Julia G.
If you need to untie the knot, get Miller Bowles Cushing in your corner ASAP.
Laura D.
I can't emphasize enough how great Kate was to work with. She somehow made this uncomfortable time in my life seem painless. I was traveling a lot for work at the time and Kate was able to make this process go smoothly despite my crazy schedule. I won’t say I recommend getting a divorce, but I recommend using Kate if you do. You won't be disappointed in her knowledge, effort and compassion.
DARCIE H.
Bethany has been fantastic handling my very sensitive case. Follow up is fantastic, welcoming atmosphere, and always available to answer questions and more!
Cory B.
Chris represented me against a prestigious Charlotte firm, whom often intimidates other attorneys, as they stand firmly behind their three letter initials (J*D). He immediately found errors in the Opposing Counsel’s Motion for Contempt and Chris did not waste my time, preparing for the Contempt Motion (as he knew we had grounds for a dismissal, and we were granted such). He and his team are always professional and conscious of my expenditures, while keeping my goals at the forefront of my representation. He also represented me against the same J*D firm last year in another hearing and he was able to get a positive result, by negotiating with opposing Counsel by focusing on my ultimate wants. I highly recommend Chris Miller and commend him for his professionalism, focus, knowledge and execution (and I say this firmly after going through three other local family law firms over the past five years).
Blair A.
Knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly supportive! Bethany Mulhern and all of the staff made navigating a difficult, and sometimes dangerous situation possible. I can't recommend them more highly.
Alina K.
Everyone I encountered was compassionate, professional, and easy to work with. I really appreciated the time Brett Holladay took to explain things and answer all my questions. No one wants to need legal advice, but if you do – I highly recommend this firm.
Sarah V.
Chris Miller was an absolute lifesaver during one of the most challenging times in my life. Navigating a divorce with three young children under the age of 4 felt overwhelming, and I had no idea what to expect or how to handle everything coming my way. From the very beginning, Chris walked me through every step of the process with patience, understanding, and unmatched expertise. He was not only incredibly educated and talented in his field, but he also had a deep understanding of what was likely to come, ensuring I was always prepared. He fought tirelessly for me and my children, prioritizing what was best for our future. Looking back now, I realize just how much I needed someone with Chris’s foresight and dedication, especially as unexpected issues have arisen over time. I truly cannot recommend him enough to anyone facing a similar situation. His guidance and advocacy made all the difference for me and my family. Thank you, Chris, for everything!
Meredith M.
Brett came highly recommended to me when I inquired about an attorney from a local moms page. Several divorced moms mentioned working with him and their positive experience. He was so kind, understanding as well as insightful. He represented me for a little over a year. I HIGHLY recommend him if you need a divorce atty. You will feel less stressed. more in control and he will be sure to negotiate in your favor.
Debbie L.
Nick is the most professional and personally attentive family lawyer I’ve worked with. I highly recommend the team at Miller and Cushing Holladay for anyone seeking exceptional legal support.
Rock P.
Brett Holladay is such a phenomenal attorney! He listened to my story and gave me all the time I needed when we first met. He is extremely knowledgable in the area of child custody. He even went out of his way to drive out to be there with me when I was asked to do a deposition. He is extremely patient, kind, and is willing to work with you. He is one of the most affordable too! Because of him I've retained legal custody of my child which is all I really cared about most. And share her 50/50 with her other parent. I will come back for any of my future concerns. Joanne is also amazing working at the front desk.
Kanisha D.
I used Brett in a custody case and he went above and beyond. He is very intelligent and knows the laws practically verbatim. I’m forever thankful for him because he helped me win my custody case and it meant the world to me. I highly recommend him!!
Bryan D.
Thanks for all of your help and support! Highly recommend Bethany!
Michelle H.
Brett and his team were amazing as my legal representation. In a difficult situation and negotiations, Brett was able to guide me in a caring, thoughtful and cost effective way. I appreciate all he did to help assist me move successfully into a new chapter of my life.
Elka J.
Made me feel heard and safe as I moved through my divorce
Brent S.
MBC is an amazing family law practice. I had a very litigious divorce and the entire team worked so hard for my case. They returned calls and e-mails quickly, always answered every question I had. I cannot say enough good things about the practice, especially about Kate, Chris and Brett. If you need a family law attorney, then call Miller Bowles Cushing right away.
Caren H.
Chris has been a very fair, knowledgeable, and purposeful asset to helping me through these tricky situations.
Kayla W.
Worked with Nick Cushing on my divorce in 2020 and he was fantastic throughout the process and beyond. Always able to answer whatever questions came up and provide the best advice on how to proceed. Always easy to talk to and has quick response times.
Joshua R.
Stephanie and Eskarleth are amazing!
George W.
Been working with Brett and his team for a few months now. As much as I hate the divorce process itself, Brett has made it very easy for me. He's been instrumental in helping me navigate the whole divorce process and the communication has been pretty good. A few times when he was in court, his paralegal or someone was there to answer my questions. I hope that you will never need their services but if you do, I highly recommend this law firm.
James L.
Miller Cushing Holladay PLLC truly stands out for its remarkable service and unwavering dedication to their clients. Throughout my case, I felt supported and informed at every step. Their communication was prompt and transparent, and as importantly, their personalized approach made me feel like a valued client rather than just a case number.
Dallas P.
Very impressed with Chris Miller and his paralegal, Alex. Highly recommend!
