About William

My family and my faith are the most important things to me.  I enjoy helping other famiies put plans in place to protect themselves and their hard earned assets.  Helping people get peace of mind about staying in control and having a plan in place is very rewarding.  

In my free time, I enjoy watching sports, playing golf, spending time on the lake and at the beach with my family and reading.

Legal advice for elderly Mother

Posted by anonymousTue Oct 08 2019

Mr. Miller met with my 84 year old Mother along with my sibling and I to help decide how to best protect her assets and ensure her wishes were followed in the event she is unable to make decisions on her own. He was very patient, explained all the options and answered all her questions.
