Michael is always kind, caring and certainly knowledgable, honest and professional as an attorney. He patiently answers all questions and offers suggestions. I have recommended numerous friends to him to do their trusts and they also have favorable opinions. He has also told one of my friends that their financial situation does not warrant a trust being created. I would recommend Michael for all your wills and trust needs.

Mr. Millhorn and staff make will preparation, trust establishment, and the entire process comfortable, timely, and fairly priced. They make you feel their competence, and they demonstrate it through the entire process and afterwards. Their office staff is both friendly and service oriented. My wife and I had only two (2) formal office visits, and after each, we both commented on the professionalism and common sense nature Mr. Millhorn. Having used others in this area, I knew a good one immediately.
They have our full confidence and recommendation.

Being a newcomer to Florida, I needed a good Florida estate attorney to recommend and prepare all of the documents needed to ensure that my assets could be passed on to my designated heirs upon my passing without having to pay the costs of probate. I also needed Powers of Attorney and Living Will written in accordance with Florida law.

Mike Millhorn recognized my needs and prepared all of the required documents in a very timely manner. I found Mike to be a highly experienced and competent estate attorney who, in addition to preparing the necessary documents, also took the time to answer various questions that I had concerning the way in which the bequeathment process works in Florida.
Making appointments was easy with the friendly and courteous staff.

After meeting with Michael Millhorn to create my Trust I see why he's earned such a great and widespread reputation.  He thoroughly explains what it does, the pros and cons of it's legal reach and presents the value of the tool along with it's cost.  He is known as the expert in his field and is also willing to answer any questions. Even offering to answer questions after the transaction is completed.  This is a sign of a true professional in my opinion.  I took his advice and have followed up with banking and brokerage accounts.  I am so satisfied that I  also recommended his services to my family.
