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.

Review William Miller

Highly recommend Bill Miller!

Posted by

I would highly recommend Bill Miller and his Miller Estate and Elder Law to those who need guidance and assistance with a Medicaid application. Bill Miller and his staff made this complex Medicaid application process very manageable and less stressful for us. They guided me and walked me through this very involved application and approval process from beginning to end and the staff did the necessary communications with Medicaid on my Mom's behalf. They were very knowledgeable of the all the intricate Medicaid requirements and documentation necessary in this process to reach approval for Medicaid benefits. Bill was available to support us every step of the way! I couldn't have completed this process my own.

Knows his business!

Consulted with Mr Miller about things we needed to do to prepare for down the road. We then hired Mr. Miller to prepare our new will, Power of Attorney, and Advanced Directive. Made things very simple and left the decision making up to me and my wife.

Excellent Estate Planning Attorney

Posted by

We attended an Estate Planning workshop presented by Attorney Bill Miller. It was very informative and made us realize we needed to make an appointment to talk to him about our own estate planning. Mr. Miller was very professional and knowledgeable about assisting us with our wills, POAs and medical directives. We were very satisfied with the services provided and we highly recommend him.

Mr. Miller prepared my will and powers of attorney. He was very thorough and asked questions that enabled him to develop an appropriate plan for my estate. Even though the estate doesn't carry a huge value, he treated me as if it was worth millions. He was very patient and kind.

Awesome Experience!

Posted by

We recently completed our estate planning with Bill Miller and were most impressed with him and his staff. Bill is very knowledgeable and seemed to want the very best for us and our desired outcome. Surprisingly, it was quite easy! When we came in for the final signing, everything was laid out for us in a very clear and easy manner. We would HIGHLY recommend Bill Miller and Mary Barnett for your estate planning needs.
