J Brett Miller Law

Brett has done more for my family than any of the three probate attorneys we’ve worked with, combined. He took over my case in 2023, after our first attorney handed us off to another lawyer whose handling of our probate case, and the sale of the home we grew up in, left our family in a much worse financial position than we should have been in. By the time Brett stepped in, the damage was already done, but he immediately got to work untangling the mess. My father had a trust, but the will stated almost nothing because it had been drafted before transfer of title of his home and equity in his business, he passed away in an unexpected car accident, and the trust wasn’t set up in a way that actually protected us. We ended up needing special administration just to avoid an even bigger headache, and we were told probate was required regardless. Looking back, I genuinely believe none of this would have happened if Brett had done our father’s estate planning from the start. Good estate planning exists precisely so your kids don’t have to go through what we did, and that’s exactly the kind of planning Brett does. We’re still in probate proceedings, and Brett hasn’t asked us for a dime, but he certainly will be doing mine once probate is over. He’s exactly the kind of attorney you want in your corner. I later learned he became a probate lawyer specifically because he’d seen too many families in Orange County get taken advantage of by attorneys who put their own interests ahead of their clients. Brett had also handled my mother’s estate planning, so our family won’t ever end up back in this position again. His command of the entire process, from planning to execution to making something this stressful actually manageable, has been unmatched. So when I saw this page sitting at a 3 star rating, I was genuinely shocked. If you’re dealing with probate or need estate planning done right, call Brett. Trust me, after going through three attorneys, I know the difference.
