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.

Compassionate Service

Mr. Miller reviewed my circumstances and advised me on what would be the best way for me to proceed with taking care of my assets. I had attended his seminar and knew the types of documents he might recommend. He recommended only what he thought I need..nothing extra. I felt he treated me fairly.

Estate Planning

He did a great job of helping us set up a family trust but left us hanging about contacting everyone to fund the trust.

Posted by Mike | March 14, 2022

Set Up Our Trust

Bill and his staff were very helpful in explaining how our trust would work and answered all our questions. We now no longer worry about how we can leave our investment of a lifetime of hard work to our children with limit attacks from the government. We benefitted from my wife's family having a trust and the government didn't get their hands on their lifetime work. We thank Bill for providing us the peace of knowing that the government will not take what we want to pass on to our children.

An Attorney with Integrity

Attorney Miller helped me understand the legal documents that I needed to have in place. His pricing is very reasonable. Peyton and Mary are wonderful, he is blessed to have them. Now I am waiting for my next appointment for signing my revised changes. Attorney Miller is very busy but will get me in soon for my signing. I like how he sends you the documents for your approval or if something needs to be changed before your signing.
