Great Experience and highly recommended!

My husband and I worked with Miles to complete our estate plan last year and our experience was nothing but positive. Miles is professional, organized, and very knowledgeable. He easily guided us through the planning process and answered our questions. The service was second to none and I would reco...mmend Miles without hesitation.

Probate

Miles was very Professional, Knowledgeable and Caring all at the same time dealing with my case. Completely trustworthy and honest in every aspect while dealing some difficult situations. Always communicated with me in a very timely manner. Explained everything to me in a manner I always understoo...d. I am VERY pleased and happy in the way my case ended!! I would highly recommend Miles Hunt to anyone needing Probate, Estate planning or preparing a Will.

Excellent Representation for My Mother's Case

Miles represented my mother in an improvident transfer case brought by her step-sons after my step-father's passing. Miles partnered with her every step of the way, while also recognizing how emotionally stressful and hurtful this situation was for her. This case took nearly two years, and was fina...lly dismissed, due in large part to the excellent representation given by Miles. He is tops in the field, has an excellent rapport with judges in the courtroom, and does not miss any detail that could benefit his client.

Excellent legal advice.

A++! Miles prepared my estate planning documents, and took every opportunity to make sure that my needs were met. He made what is often a sensitive and difficult task extremely comfortable and streamlined. Thoughtful, patient, and knowledgeable, he is an excellent communicator. I have had other a...ttorneys prepare documents for me in the past, but with Miles' guidance, I feel for the first time that I am clear about how my estate is set up. Highly recommended, and a pleasure to work with!

Estate Planning

Miles is of the highest caliber. We were a little intimated by the process but Miles stepped us through it with professionalism. He was always available to answer our questions and interpret the legal terms in plain English. He made this complex process seem easy and we are pleased with the outcome.... We now feel at ease that our affairs are now in order and our final wishes will be carried out. We highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
