Virginia Beach Wills Attorneys
Create a Will with an Attorney Who Puts Your Wishes First
Drafting a will is one of the most important steps you can take to make sure your voice is heard after you're gone. At The Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller, we help individuals and families in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, Newport News, and Poquoson create clear, enforceable simple wills that align with their wishes and comply with Virginia law.
Simple wills are ideal for individuals with straightforward estates who want to name beneficiaries, appoint a guardian for minor children, or designate an executor. But even a "simple" will must meet strict legal standards under Virginia law to be considered valid. That’s why having an experienced local attorney review, draft, and finalize your will can help avoid confusion and disputes later on.
We work with clients to ensure their final wishes are respected and legally recognized. Contact us online or call (757) 267-4949 to schedule a consultation today.

I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens
