• Land Use Attorney Capitola

Thanks for visiting my husband’s website. Miles passed away from a sudden aortic dissection on November 3, 2024 with his family by his side. He lived his life in a way that sought true meaning and connection in both his personal and professional life. Miles was an ethical and practical lawyer and really cared about his clients. He was an avid outdoor enthusiast, aspiring musician, and devoted husband and father. His sudden tragic loss is felt profoundly by so many.

Please feel free to leave remembrances on the home page in the comments section.
Namaste. Ysraelya Dolinger
