ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS - WHY IS THE LLM WORTH IT?

“After practicing in Trusts & Estates for a few years and being exposed to some of the complexities involved, I realized that if I wanted to be successful in this area of law without having 20 plus years of experience, I would need an educational foundation in the subject matter.”

Thomas VanNess III, Attorney at Law
VanNess Law, PLLC

“This program is the best career decision I have made – it provided me with the foundation to transition from my previous legal career and the opportunity to learn from some of the best minds in the industry. It provided me with a vast network to build ongoing relationships even after graduation.”

“Having re-entered the active practice of law after a 16-year hiatus, I found the LL.M. to be exactly what I needed not only to get up to speed but to take my knowledge to a much higher level. Getting to know these world-class professionals on a personal basis alone is well worth the price of the tuition.”

Bill McQueen, Partner

"The LL.M. in Estate Planning prepared me to enter a sophisticated estate planning and administration practice. It provided an opportunity to explore the substantive and theoretical aspects of federal tax law and the practical applications to the planning techniques I now regularly use with clients."

Al Stashis, Shareholder
Dunwody White & Landon, P.A.

“What I think is so special about the LLM at Miami is the way the program is structured: you are in the same class, with the same group of people, and you all become really close. To me, that is one of the best things...the relationships you build there, both the students and the professors.”

Frederick Brackin, Shareholder
Gunster

“What really sets to program apart – even after you leave – you have built-in network of like-minded individuals on whom you know you can count on for advice, and event support.”

Daniel Sullivan, Senior Associate
