What Rob’s Clients Say
“Rob Miller provided invaluable assistance when instructed late in the day on a serious, high value and complex cross border dispute involving detailed analysis of mountains of historical and incomplete accounting information disclosed in the proceedings. He responded quickly and authoritively with a concise and easy to follow report. Happy to recommend.”
“Rob Miller is an excellent and personable forensic accountant. I ‘inherited’ Rob Miller on a complex criminal case which I took over from the solicitor who originally represented him. The client’s case presented many challenges due to its complexity, seriousness and the short time-frame within which we had to work. Despite a lack of evidence being provided from the client, other than anecdotal and confusing tirades without substance, Rob Miller was able to produce a helpful, insightful and cogent report. Working with Rob Miller is a pleasure and I will definitely use his services again.”
“Rob Miller is without a shadow of a doubt one of the very best Forensic accountants I have had the pleasure to instruct and work with. Mr Millers eye for detail, willingness to go the extra mile, professional approach and ability to think outside of the box is second to none. Rob’s ability to work to a tight schedule and to anticipate the next set of instructions premised on the work he has completed is quite remarkable. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone, either client or instructing solicitor.”
