This past Winter, I found myself leaving jail after a DUI arrest not knowing what my future had in store. I had a lapse in judgement and the consequences were severe. After looking online and researching various DUI and Defense Lawyers I stumbled across Gerry Miller's firm.I worked directly with Cody Wright and can't say enough about him. We took it one step at a time and I felt confident in the process and his work. With that being said, I'm pleased with the outcome and I can finally move on from this chapter in my life. Thank you to Gerry, Cody and his team!

Cant say enough great things about Gerry and his firm. I own two companies with multiple trucks and drivers. I have six attorneys. For over twenty years, Gerry is our first call for any & all legal issues criminal or traffic. And there were some serious issues. I don't think there is anyone that rivals Gerry's knowledge of the law or his expertise to navigate the system, in order to get the best possible outcome for very dire legal situations. Gerry defines expert legal representation, while also being hard working, honest, and always responds within 24hrs or less. Which is what we expect for our money. It sets them apart from all the others. I don't think they knew when he passed the bar he would be setting the bar. We don't call anyone else.

I messaged Gerald Miller & Associates PA through through their website and Kyle reached out to me in a matter of minutes. He gave me the answers to my questions amongst other related information that I had spent hours researching for. The internet often contradicts itself. Anytime I need a lawyer I will call Kyle. If your issue is out of his specialization, he will send you to the right person! This is the guy you start with everytime. Thanks Kyle!

My feed back is long over due, primarily because I really can not find the words to express myself. However, for now, this will have to do until I can focus enough to send a real letter.A few years back life had brought me to my knees leaving me spinning out of control. During that period I made a mess out of my life and I ended up in jail for my first DUI ever. Not knowing who to call, I could only open up the yellow pages the jailer gave me. Now, I am someone who considered all attorneys to be crooks and full of beans but, I had no choice but to turn my life over to one of them. My finger fell on Gerald Miller P.A. and I was able to reach Cody and in a very short time the case was resolved.However, I was still struggling mentally and still seemed intent on destroying myself. Now I found myself facing felony charges for a completely different issue.This case seemed to go on forever but I believe it was part of their plan to stretch it out allowing me the time to get the help necessary to straighten myself out.I believe that at some point they decided I was sincere in what I said and that I would continue working hard to turn my life around. They clearly informed me what I needed to do and what not to do whilst encouraging me the whole way.Cody and Jerry proved to be very real people that ended up being not only my attorneys but my saviors as well.Sincerely and forever grateful, DB

Gerald did an amazing job on my case. I was looking at a mandatory of 4 years in prison with no criminal record. Jerry lead me through out the whole process and kept me very updated the whole time. He did a great job working with the courts and working out a great deal with prosecutors and my judge. I received 5 years probation with a stay of adjudication. I can now move on and not be a felon. Thank you jerry!

Kyle Dreger was such a delight to work with. During the most stressful time dealing with DWI related charges, he reassured me the ease and comfort I needed to go through the many steps in the process of receiving the most reasonable outcome. Kyle's persona is relatable and that made things less nerve-wracking to go through. Thank you!

DOWNWARD DEPARTURE GRANTED!! Facing 7-10 years in Prison for Felony DWI & Felony Fleeing (my 7th DWI with two prior Felony DWI's), I called Gerald Miller. I have never in my life been so impressed with an attorney! This man gave me two hours of his time during our initial consultation and told others he would have to call them back when another phone line rang or his cell phone went off. Obviously being in and out of the court system for 20 years, I've called several attorneys and 99% of those calls have resulted in the attorney showing very little interest in talking to me and a "hope everything works out for you" end to the conversation once they find out you might not have enough money for them. Gerald Miller gathered all the details and told me he wanted to meet with his team before making a decision of whether or not they would take on the case. Mr. Miller called me an hour later with the good news. From this moment on, Kyler Dreger was appointed to be my personal attorney through the proceedings. And he absolutely nailed it! Obviously facing this much prison time, there were a lot of questions I had and Mr. Dreger always took the time to make sure everything was covered when I would call, email, or text him. He really took the time to get to know me and built a strong defense based on our conversations. There was a plan made and he executed it exactly as he told me he would. I've been represented by several attorneys who say they will take a certain approach and never follow through with it. Mr. Dreger educated himself on the Anxiety and Depression I had been deaing with and how I was using alcohol to treat it. He beautifully articulated my struggles in a way that I had not been able to.Having legal representation that can advocate for you in court is something I have never experienced. Painting a picture of my life, struggles, and choices since this incident was key and Kyle did it flawlessly. He was also able to argue key points in the Prosecutor's testimony that played a huge role in the sentencing. There were discrepancies he pointed out that I didn't even catch, the main one being that a previous sentence of mine was a STAYED prison sentence, not the downward depature the Prosecutor was claiming it to be. The open guilty plea allowed the Judge to use discretion for sentencing and he did so thanks to Kyle's hard work as he accurately displayed to the court who I am, not what I did. I was sentence to 60 days in jail and 120 days on house arrest. To be quite honest, the way Kyle Dreger powerfully, professionally, and emotionally defended me, it was as if he was the one facing prison time and needed the court to understand the complexity of the situation. That's how impressive this young man is! His calm approach to an aggressive Prosecutor allowed him to point out mistakes and strengthen the defense. His patience and understanding of the process is what separates Kyle Dreger from other attorneys. This man is a powerhouse attorney and this law firm will do everything they can to help you! Thank you to Gerald Miller and Kyle Dreger for allowing me this second chance in life. God Bless!!

This law firm is fantastic! After looking at hundreds of reviews and talking with several attorneys, I hired Kyle Dreger to represent me in my DUI case. Kyle was caring, understanding and professional. He responded quickly to all my questions, kept me updated, listened thoroughly to my concerns/wants and fought hard for me. Kyle made this incredibly stressful process so much easier for me and we won!

Jonathan Ahlfs

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Kyle Dreger was my attorney. He was always available for any questions I had and kept me up to date on any changes that occurred as soon as he knew them. He clearly laid out all my options and was straight forward with me. Kyle was able to successfully get two of my DWI charges dropped because he was willing to take the case to court and fight the whole way for me. I highly recommend Kyle for any legal help you may need.

Michelle Johnson

Got a dui during the start of COVID and the lock down so added more stress to the plate. Kyle represented me, I couldn’t be more happy with how involved he was with me during this whole process. I never had any issue getting ahold of him when I needed to he told me step by step things I needed to do to put myself in a good situation for my case. I’m so thankful to have had his guidance and to have someone to ease my stress during these difficult times. My outcome was above and beyond what I expected, this whole team is the real deal. I could not be happier!! I recommend if you find yourself in a situation you need help this is the team to call! Forever grateful!

Kyle Dreger advocated on my behalf to ensure I received justice after receiving an unjust charge in the MN Judicial system. He ensured I was a priority every step of the way. Kyle’s work ethic, integrity, and professionalism went above and beyond to prove the tremendous value that Gerald Miller, P.A. Firm has to offer in their Profession. If you need representation and want to achieve results in resolving legal matters I highly recommend Kyle or any other members of Gerald Miller, P.A.

Kevin Ward

I realize there was a pandemic, but I felt like the communication from my attorney was poor. On several occasions I was told I would receive a Communication on a certain date and that date would come and go without communication. It was on me to follow up with my attorney to get the information I desired. I would not use Gerald miller again with any legal issues.**edit. Spoke with my attorney and discovered any delays that were seen were due to the prosecutor and not a Gerald miller attorney. I have increased my rating**

I can not thank Kyle enough for all the work he put in on my case. Every question I had he answered quickly and put my mind at ease. He truly cared for me and the situation I was going through and was able to get a very good outcome for me. I would recommend him to anyone going through a dwi.

Beyond helpful! Going through a very difficult situation attorney Gerald took his valuable time to call me back and give me different options for federal attorneys and explain how the process works (without him gaining nothing out of this). Words can't express how grateful I am with him.

Matt Muller

If there was a "10 Star" option I would give it to them! Kyle worked my case like a pro. It was a complicated few months, but he definitely knows his way around the system, listened to my needs, and kept me informed every step of the way without sugarcoating anything. And every question I had (and there were many!) his replies were almost immediate. Every time. I hope to never need his services again, LOL! But if you find yourself in a jam he's your guy! Highest of recommendations...

Kyle represented me in my case. He was very quick and prompt answering any questions I had from the very beginnig. He exceeded my expectations and always helped keep me relaxed when it was a very stressful and scary situation for myself. It was obvious he knew what he was doing. I would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation. I am confident him and I will never meet again but thank you for all your hard work kyle!!

Samantha Fisher

Kyle was so helpful with my case and the outcome was exactly what we were going for. He was such a pleasure to work with, came all the way out to Chaska to meet with me initially, and was very prompt in answering any and all of my questions regarding my situation. Kyle helped prepare me in the best way possible for my upcoming hearings so when I was in front of a judge I had all of my "stuff" done ahead of time. I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Kyle Dreger and the team at Gerald Miller P.A. Though I am confident I won't need their services in the future, I wouldn't recommend anyone else.
