“I never thought I would need a lawyer and didn't know where to start. A friend recommended Carol Austin and the very next day she made time to meet with me, it was very emotional and she was caring and non-judgmental. From the first phone call and subsequent calls, meetings, emails and court appearances she was always available, attentive, professional and determined. Her focus, attention to detail, knowledge and unwavering attitude to defend my rights and achieve the best possible result never ceased to amaze me. Carol Austin is brilliant, organized and amazingly posed and demands justice in the courtroom through her demeanor. I am eternally grateful and highly recommend her.”

“Our experiences with Carol was head and shoulders above the rest and we have worked with many other attorneys here in Charlotte. Carol is a real listener and has honesty and integrity in abundance. That is a hard thing to find in this day and age. She confers with you personally about your opinions and never once has given an opinion of her own without thorough research and highly educated case studies to back up her reasoning. She is a consummate professional and has had immense success handling our cases that we unfortunately had to take action on. Carol is compassionate and treats you as a human and not just a case or a payday. I would recommend Carol Austin to anyone in need of a good listener and I believe that is what makes her so successful at what she does so well. Carol's first attribute is being a wonderful ,ethical human , her second is being an outstanding attorney. Both will serve you well when choosing an attorney here in Charlotte . If you are looking for justice or defense at anytime Carol Austin is the perfect attorney for you. - The Bruce Family”

“This review is being written by John Carroll. My mothers will was prepared by Jerry Miller of this firm. When my mother passed away in January 2017 it was natural to use them to probate the will. I met with Jerry in mid January and he assigned the task to Kimberly Dixon, an attorney in the firm. This was a simple estate. One brokerage/checking account, one IRA, two annuities and one house. My brother and I were the sole heirs and everything was to be split 50/50. Long story short, the estate did not settle until 9-19-17. The 90 day creditor period expired 5-1-17 and I was told the estate could close in 2 weeks after that date. I finally forced a meeting on 7-18-17 and was told the holdup was attorneys were out on leave and her workload was too heavy. They also said they were having trouble reconciling the estate account. I wrote 5 checks as Executor. This cost the estate as it allowed a creditor to file a late claim 60 days after the deadline. There was no communication over the last 120 days and problems kept coming up which they should have anticipated. Then to make things worse, they charged me $700.00 at the last minute and I had no choice but to pay or the estate would not close and house could not be sold. Just be careful.”

“Like the Tina Turner song, Carol Austin is "Simply the Best"! When the owners of Ark Veterinary Services, PLLC (AVS) decided to expand their practice in Charlotte, NC with a new brick and mortar clinic, the Miller-Austin Law Firm was highly recommended, and Carol exceeded our expectations. This project started with a search for a realtor to find and purchase the property, find the ideal builder, lender and work with our new "AVS Team" to complete the city/county permitting process. Since this was our first time, it was a complex, daunting and confusing process. Carol and her team help to guide us through this 14-month process which included the Purchase Sale Agreement for the property, including seven closing date revisions with the seller due to delays, multiple easement negotiations with surrounding businesses and numerous calls, meetings and contract revisions with our financial broker and the lender. Since this project was primarily funded through the SBA, the complexity and paperwork went to a new level. Carol led us through this smoothly and calmly and kept our frustration levels down especially with the city/county permitting process taking twice as long as planned. Carol really stepped up when coordinating the closing process which took on a life of its own due to paperwork errors with the lender's closing agent and legal team. As the AVS Project Manager for this project, without Carol's guidance and support, we would still be struggling with the above issues instead of watching our new clinic being built! Thank you Carol and the Miller-Austin team!”
