Testimonials

I was very impressed with the seminar I went to. I immediately was taken in by the information and trust I felt in deciding to make a follow up appointment to get all my affairs in order. I felt that attorney Miller was very thorough in explaining everything to me and answering all my questions. In the weeks ahead in calling the office, I was also pleased with the employees that took my calls and were totally there for me.
Stephanie
Jim: We want to express our sincere appreciation for the great job you did for Harold and myself. Without your help, it is doubtful that we would ever have identified the true magnitude and importance of estate planning. Your expert approach made a formerly difficult task manageable and successful. Thank you!
Bridget D.
Understanding & efficient process. For great peace of mind knowing our wishes are carried out. Very detail oriented. Thank you.
Janet
Jim is very professional and knowledgeable. Clearly knows the law and keeps his clients informed about changing laws. We as well as both sets of parents have worked with Jim. All have different needs and he knew what would best serve us all.
Chris & Donna
I contacted Mr. Miller to review and make recommendations to my elderly parents estate. My mother has Alzheimer’s and we were afraid that making the changes would upset her and make her angry. Mr. Miller’s made the presentation expertly and without question as to why the changes were necessary.
