Christopher L. Miller, Esq., L.L.C., is dedicated to providing the highest quality of legal representation in the area of Family Law, Wills, Trusts, Probate, Business Law and Litigation.

Estate Planning

Christopher L. Miller, Esq., L.L.C. can structure simple to complex estate plans for its clients. These thoughtful and well considered estate plans, which include Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney for Finances and Powers of Attorney for Healthcare, incorporate the most recent Trust and Probate Laws in order to provide clients with the most up-to-date estate plans available.

As a result, clients are protected to the fullest extent possible under the law from unnecessary and expensive court proceedings and from needless federal and state taxes.

Estate Administration

If a loved one passes away estate administration proceedings may be necessary. This firm is able to assist you in navigating the process quickly and efficiently. Estate administration in South Carolina can be an intimidating process. There are legal papers to draft and file, notices to publish, bonds to file, notices to serve, deeds to execute and record, assets to collect, possible tax return filings, bills and creditors to pay, and what can be a bewildering array of rules and laws to navigate. It is possible that what you think should be a simple process could turn into something that quickly gets out of control. In the event that family members or other estate beneficiaries become uncooperative, you could find yourself mired in formal court proceedings, going through the long unfamiliar process of mediation and litigation.

I can help you successfully navigate the probate process to ensure that your case is completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. In addition to providing technical expertise and efficiency, I work to ensure that you receive the highest level of compassionate and competent customer service at each step of the process so that when the matter is concluded you will be completely satisfied with your overall experience.

Family Law

Christopher L. Miller, Esq., L.L.C. can represent you in your Family Court matter. Whether your case concerns obtaining a divorce, court ordered child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, division of marital property, or orders of protection, or the enforcement of any such court orders that you have already obtained, or the defense of any of the above actions, my firm offers competent, compassionate, and professional representation.

The Family Court process may be unfamiliar to you, and I recognize that your life may have been turned upside down by your matter. All of my Family Court representations operate under a general concept that may be more familiar to physicians. That is to first, do no harm. I will not extend your case unnecessarily, and add the pressure of unnecessary legal fees to your situation.

All my Family Court clients can expect an honest and realistic assessment of their cases. If I believe you have a bad case, I will tell you that and urge you to attempt an early settlement, saving you legal fees in the process. If I believe you are taking an unreasonable position, I will tell you that as well. If I believe that you could benefit from speaking with a therapist or other mental health professional, you can expect a recommendation. Your attorney has a professional duty to zealously pursue your goals within the law. Your attorney has a moral duty to be your counselor, and this includes telling you the weaknesses of your case.

Real Estate

The firm provides all manner of services to accomplish the transfer and leasing of real property. From title searches and opinions, drafting of leases, and the conduct of title closings, the firm strives to be a one stop shop for your real estate transactions. The firm represents purchasers, sellers (including estates, trusts, or other entities), landlords and tenants. The firm can represent you in a residential foreclosure or short sale. If you are considering entering into a commercial or residential lease, or a rent-to-own arrangement, you should have an attorney review the documents before signing your name. All real estate transactions are directly supervised by an attorney, and you can be assured that the attorney, not a paralegal, will be present at your title closing.
