Gary was recommended to me by my realtor as being the best attorney to help me thru the process of purchasing a HUD owned property - due to his meticulous & thorough nature. I was immediately impressed by the detail in Gary's dialogue during our initial consultation - he very clearly stated the tasks at hand for our respective roles & was very transparent about items we needed clarity on from the government office we were working with. The following discussions with Gary were truly enjoyable - he would offer updates & never hesitated to explain the 'building blocks' of any particular aspect at my request. He was inspiring, even with his general status reports. When we worked our way into the homestretch of closing on the property, i mentioned that I was worried some of my labor crews would not be available to help remediate the property on our timeline, Gary worked on my behalf at warp speed to close on an updated schedule that solved this conflict. He was nothing short of a blessing!
Gary was so wonderful and helpful through out our home purchase experience. Gary is extremely knowledgeable and professional and clearly an advocate for his clients. Should you need a real estate attorney, we would definitely recommend Gary!
My husband and I sought out Gary Miller to draw up life planning documents (will, POA, etc) for us. He was easy to schedule with, a jargon-free communicator, and genuinely interested in us making informed decisions. We had a very positive experience.
Gary has assisted me on multiple legal matters, mostly with real estate. I highly recommend him as your lawyer. He takes his time, provides the education you need to make an informed decision and never rushes through meetings. He also is very understanding when it comes to finances. He is definitely very knowledgeable on legal matters!!!
Gary is one of the smartest and most knowledgeable lawyers that I know. I have discussed many legal issues with him over the past thirty years. He always suggests insightful and creative solutions.
Gary has advised me on both Louisiana and North Carolina law regarding multiple real estate dealings, property agreements, divorce proceedings, and most any other legal questions I've had for the last forty years. Sometimes I officially hired him, but often he provided wise advice as a friend. He has been an exceptional friend and lawyer, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.
Followed through on multiple closings accurately and timely. Provided information needed quickly.
Mr. Miller was hired to close on a business investment and interests. He was very meticulous in his work and I highly recommend him
Gary Miller was a life saver for me. His knowledge of contract Law and ability to read the situation between a business partner and myself was very much appreciated That was my first contact with Mr Miller - I have asked for his help several times since and referred him to many other friends in need of service from an excellent attorney
Gary took a personal interest in my case and helped me through two difficult business acquisitions that involved high stake emotions. Gary and his team were thorough, readily reached, and took care to explain every step to me throughout the process. Gary was able to give recommendations on issues outside of these business acquisitions and direct me to other professionals when needed. I would trust no one else with my business!
