Origin
A Sixth-Generation Mesa Family, Now Practicing Law
Bert Millett is a sixth-generation Arizonan whose family, per the firm’s own account, settled in the Mesa area in the 1870s — his great-grandfather is credited with planting the area’s first orange grove, the source of the firm’s name. Millett earned his J.D. from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in 2006 after working for the Maricopa County Superior Court and managing a mid-sized business, and founded Orangewood Law Group in Mesa. He is fluent in Spanish.
Practice
Real Estate Contracts, Disputes, and Business Law
Orangewood’s stated practice covers both residential and commercial real estate — drafting, purchase and sale disputes, short sales, foreclosure, boundary and title disputes, landlord-tenant matters, and zoning — alongside general business and contract law. Millett is a State Bar of Arizona board-certified real estate law specialist, and the firm’s own materials describe attorneys with 15 or more years of combined legal experience.
Track Record
Real estate contract and title disputes in Arizona typically resolve through negotiated settlement or Superior Court civil proceedings rather than the kind of itemized jury-verdict compilations personal injury firms publish, and no independently verifiable case-result list was located in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
Avvo reviews attributed to Orangewood clients describe Millett as having drafted an asset purchase agreement “in a timely manner with accuracy,” and one reviewer identifying as an out-of-state real estate investor called the closing advice they received “very th[o]rough, quick, and valuable.” A Google review quoted on the firm’s own site reads: “If your looking for a hard working, always on your side, will fight for you every time… then Bert Millett is your attorney.” No negative reviews were located in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Community
Millett helps organize the Mesa Sprint Triathlon each fall to raise funds for the Foundation for Mesa Parks and Recreation, per his firm bio.
Recognition
Millett holds Arizona’s Board of Legal Specialization certification in real estate law — a peer-reviewed, examination-based credential distinct from purchased marketing-list placements — and Martindale-Hubbell Client Champion recognition based on aggregated client review scores. This profile uses the word “specialist” advisedly, on the strength of that documented, individually attributed certification.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Most Arizona real estate purchase disputes are governed by ordinary written-contract law, with a six-year statute of limitations under A.R.S. § 12-548. Non-judicial foreclosures on Arizona homes proceed under the trustee’s-sale process set out in A.R.S. § 33-807, and homeowners’ association disputes are generally governed by Arizona’s Planned Communities Act, A.R.S. § 33-1801 et seq.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Orangewood’s differentiator is genuine local roots — a real estate specialist whose family has been in Mesa since the 1870s, running a small firm rather than a volume shop, with a board certification to back the real estate focus. The honest trade-off: this is a small, generalist-adjacent practice (real estate plus business and contract work) rather than a large firm with deep bench strength, so a client with a complex commercial transaction should confirm capacity before engaging.
