About Mr. John D. Mills

After I graduated from law school in 1989, I returned to my hometown of Ft. Myers and became a prosecutor for a year at the State Attorney's Office. During that time, I got valuable trial experience and learned my way around the courtroom. I went into private practice in 1990 as a junior partner with the law firm Mockler, Porter & Mills, and our firm concentrated in divorce law and criminal defense. In 1993, I started my own firm handling divorce, criminal defense, and domestic violence injunction cases. My practice currently is family law and circuit civil mediation, divorce, and domestic violence injunction cases.

I have also written nine murder mysteries set on the barrier islands of Southwest Florida. You can check out my books on this Amazon link: Pine Island Sound Mysteries.

Mr. Mills and his staff helped me in a difficult case and knew how to craft the communication on my behalf, resulting in very positive outcomes.

Mr. Mills and his staff are wonderful to work with. They handled a very difficult and emotional enforcement case perfectly and with an outcome in my favor. He set out the plan and timeline, making sure I was informed 100% of the way. He was very impressive in the proceedings! I highly recommend using his services.

This low life attorney uses his clients life stories to then make fictional books to sell. He gives them the wrong advise and causes war in the middle of divorces cases and isn't a "family-stable" person. He only cares about making monies, read his interview as to why he went on to become an attorney - "to acquire a trophy wife (beauty) -, seriously as ugly as he is inside and out" in court he is worthless. Not prepared, doesn't have the staff to do the suffice work, under paid and isn't never available for other attorneys much less his clients. He endangers the lives of small children with the "advise" he gives the parents. Divorce is hard enough as is and he adds to the fumes, he is exactly what the parental courses discuss. Attorneys that will make the matters worse not better, that will not work with their hearts and the well being of the child which is what is always looked at in the court system.

This lawyer is very lazy. He is an outstanding file clerk but nothing more! He is not prepared for trial and just says to take the high road on everything so that he doesn't have to do any work. This lawyer is much more interested in feeding his face that handling your case with professionalism. He will not fight for your rights in court. He will sit there mindless while you get raped of every right that you have. In criminal court be prepared to do time. In a divorce case be prepared to lose everything you have worked for. In a child custody case be prepared to bid farewell to your child and your rights to your child. This is a very BAD lawyer and should not even be in practice. He is a disgrace to the profession!

This lawyer is a very lazy lawyer, he charges a flat fee of 4,500 dollars, then wants to do as little as possible for the money...he will pump you full of fear so that you take what ever his friend the prosecuting attorney offers, so that he doesn't have to take it to trial....less time spent on the case more money in his pocket plain and simple. For his fee of 4,500 he only has to appear briefly in court two times and he had to go to one deposition. A total waste of money!!!!
