Nov 10, 2024 Report
Mr. Milum has assisted us on three occasions:
1. He helped us establish our business as an LLC. He was knowledgeable and very thorough. The process was smooth and was completed quickly.
2. He worked with us to write our wills and advance directives. Again he provided excellent information to make decisions and the process was painless.
3. We had a relative pass away in another state and were named to be the executor of the will.

When we made the appointment we were informed that he would not be able to represent us in another state, but he agreed to meet with us in an advisory role. On all three occasions Mr. Milum was outstanding. We very much appreciated his thoroughness. We never felt like we were left in the dark, and were given excellent advice. We will definitely seek his counsel for any legal issues in the future and highly recommend him.
