Miller Johnson again receives highest ranking in Chambers

Chambers High Net Worth (HNW) Guide, for the fourth consecutive year, ranked Miller Johnson’s estate planning group with the highest ranking (Band 1 of 5).  Key individual attorneys were also recognized: Robert Brower, Christopher Edgar, Lauretta Murphy and Raj Malviya.

Laurie Murphy chairs the estate planning practice group and commented, “We are honored to be recognized by our clients who were interviewed by Chambers and appreciate our reputation as trusted and respected advisors.  In our work with private clients – their family owned businesses and closely held companies, and family offices – we guide them in preserving their assets, protecting their legacies and promoting their philanthropic values.”

The Chambers 2019 HNW Guide included these comments: 

—”They are superb. They are at the top of our list when we need legal counsel. They are very thorough, timely and very good at communicating with us at every stage of the process.”

—“They are well respected and do a lot of high-end planning. They have sophistication and gravitas and can handle the re-
quirements of [HNW]  clients.”

These Miller Johnson lawyers are featured:

—Robert Brower counsels wealthy individuals, families and privately held businesses on succession and estate planning, as well as contested matters. “He is very good in the courtroom, and I have a lot of respect for him and his ability. He is very much the gentleman - a tough advocate, but a gentleman.”

—Christopher Edgar represents clients in business and estate planning matters, as well as trust administration. “Working with Christopher Edgar has been an absolute delight - he excels in representing his clients’ passion, vision and interests.”

—Lauretta Murphy advises wealthy clients on estate planning matters, including transfer of business and personal assets. She is experienced in special needs planning. One source enthuses: “I am super impressed with her. She is very, very smart, thoughtful and proactive with her clients. She thinks creatively and she is very good at working in the family office world and thinking broadly about issues across the spectrum.”

—Raj Malviya advises wealthy clients on a range of issues, including transfer of wealth and trust and estate administration, as well as international planning. One client states: “He's recently been made a member of ACTEC [American College of Trust and Estate Counsel] and is making the most of every opportunity. He is eager to learn and is evidently learning a lot - he is a workhorse.”
