Mitchell, John H.

Mr. Miller concentrates his practice in the areas of Real Estate Law and Corporate Law.

His practice includes advising developers, purchasers and sellers in all aspects of the acquisition, development, construction, and financing of medical, office, retail and residential properties.  He frequently represents clients in title and survey disputes, and assists clients with purchase and sale contracts, seller take-back financing, 1031 exchanges, commercial leasing and other means of property disposition.  Mr. Miller also advises lenders and borrowers with respect to matters of real estate finance, such as construction loans, lines of credit, long term real estate financing and workouts.

Prior to practicing law, Mr. Miller worked in economic development and urban redevelopment. His background better positions him to assist clients seeking to use innovative development tools such as complex development agreements, Tax Increment Financing (TIF), Transportation Development Districts (TDDs), sales tax rebate agreements, and urban redevelopment corporations. Similarly, he advises clients with respect to local government issues, such as land use, zoning variances and municipal boundary adjustment (annexation) issues.  Mr. Miller regularly advises subdivision trustees and associations in matters involving the enforcement, interpretation and revision of subdivision indentures, and he also handles a variety of real estate property tax matters, including valuation appeals, tax abatement and tax exemption projects.

In addition to his real estate and governmental law practice, Mr. Miller often assists clients with general contract law, formation of limited liability companies, operating agreements and other general business matters.
