About
Rhonda Miller is a partner with Dunlap, Bennett & Ludwig, PLLC, working out of their Vienna, Leesburg and Pasadena offices where she concentrates on sophisticated estate planning including special needs trusts, asset protection trusts, spousal lifetime access trusts, charitable remainder trust, qualified small business trusts and other trust used to minimize or eliminate capital gains and estate tax. In addition, she focuses on administering large and complex estates including litigation with respect to those estates and correcting documents to optimize tax efficiencies. During the early years of her career, Rhonda was a successful litigator in the courtroom, arguing on behalf of clients both large and small. It is both this courtroom experience and her many years in private practice that afford Rhonda a real-world understanding of the issues facing her clients when it comes to asset preservation. Relying on her education, training, and experience, Rhonda takes a holistic approach to safeguarding each client’s personal and business assets in the most tax advantageous manner, while staying consistent with the client’s goals. What sets Rhonda apart from other attorneys in her field, however, is her friendly, conversational, and accessible style. By building a comfortable rapport with each client, Rhonda is able to explain highly complex areas of law in a manner in which her clients understand. “I like to think of it this way,” she says. “It is my job to put my clients’ needs and desires into words. Those words form the basis for each client’s legal plan. That’s why it is so important to take the time to get to know every client up front. And by staying in touch, I continue to assist my clients with other important matters in their lives.” Ms. Miller is highly sought after public speaker. She frequently teaches continuing legal education and is a continuing education sponsor for the Certified Financial Planner Board and insurance agents.

Rhonda is a top notch lawyer. Her breadth of knowledge in the areas of estate planning, asset protection planning and business planning makes her an excellent resource for her clients and colleagues alike. Her calm demeanor, sense of humor and professionalism put us at ease and resulted in getting what we needed to protect our family done quickly and efficiently. I would not hesitate to recommend Rhonda. In fact, I called on Rhonda to handle a matter for one of my clients, and I was impressed with the level of professionalism and skill she brought to the project.
I am a CPA. I have not only referred Rhonda to a number of clients, but worked with her on numerous clients also. The work Rhonda has done is always timely, accurate and professional. The clients are always pleased. Oh, and I use Rhonda personally also.
I hired Rhonda Miller in 2007 when I was ready to turn my new business into a legal entity. Rhonda explained all of the business options available to me as a Virginia business owner as well as federal and state tax liability. Rhonda helped us structure our business to also protect our personal assets and prepare for future earnings and the needs of our children. Since my first meeting over 5 years ago, Rhonda has become a trusted legal advisor who has reviewed contracts, developed proprietary legal agreements, and made excellent recommendations to allied service professionals. Her attention to detail has saved us from making potentially costly mistakes and her expert knowledge of contracts and business planning has helped us structure more profitable agreements. We credit her for the growth of our business. We are now working with her to plan the next 5 years of our growth as we add more employees and expand. This planning is especially important now as we are planning for our future retirement needs and that of our family. We wish to preserve our wealth, remain in control of our health decisions, and ensure that our family is taken care of. Rhonda has great compassion and understanding for our personal needs and wishes and always gives honest advice. She regularly reaches out to us with legal and tax updates when something changes that may effect our business. In these difficult economic times, I feel fortunate to have her and her legal on my team as we continue to grow our business.
Rhonda does not dictate a prescribed estate planning process; instead, she works in partnership with the client. Rhonda cheerfully took my (unique) written desires, helped me clarify ambiguities, and then crafted highly customized trust documents. Rhonda's service extended into implementation; properties were retitled with zero effort on my part, thereby ensuring my desires were actualized. When refinancing my home, Rhonda protected me from a banker's incorrect guidance. Thanks again!
Our CPA firm, Stitely & Karstetter www.skcpas.com, has always found Rhonda to be extremely thorough. We also find her creative and skilled at thinking outside the box to save clients money and potential headaches. I can't recommend her highly enough. We have never had a negative comment from any client that we have referred to her.
