About Joe

Joe has been practicing injury law for over 31 years in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area. He is admitted to practice law in both Virginia and North Carolina. He has also successfully represented injured victims on a ‘pro hac vice’ basis in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland, and Florida. Joe earned his B.A. at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, in 1984. He is a graduate of the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at William & Mary, where he received his Juris Doctor degree in 1987. Joe was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., but he has spent most of his life in the Hampton Roads area, having grown up in the Churchland area of Portsmouth and the Western Branch area of Chesapeake. He graduated from Western Branch High School in 1980. He currently resides in Norfolk, VA with his wife, two daughters, and their Australian Shepard, ‘Luna’ Outside of law practice, Joe enjoys engaging in religious studies, playing guitar, writing and recording music in his music studio, mountain biking, snow skiing, and just spending time with his family at home. Joe says his favorite part of practicing law is, “when it is crystal clear that the client you are helping is in dire need of your services. You realize that if the two of you had not been brought together, this person would likely be making choices that would have severe adverse consequences for him or her. It feels really good when you can present an injured client with advice and a plan of action that puts him or her on the right path to a successful future, a new start, and financial security. Just knowing that the client is sleeping better at night—with fewer clouds of worry and doubt that were there before you came along— that helps me sleep better as well."

Joe Miller Attains Hard-Won Victory for Car Accident Victim

Norfolk, VA, August, 2013. We won a substantial victory for a retiree client who was rear-ended by a truck. The truck was towing a fishing boat down Independence Blvd in Virginia Beach and failed to stop in time, striking our client’s van with tremendous force, and injuring our client and his wife. The impact knocked the victim’s van into the car in front of them, which then caused a multi-car pile-up. Because the driver of the truck worked in Norfolk, we were able to file the lawsuit there. From the beginning, the liability carrier denied the claim entirely. This was because the police officer who wrote the report wrote down that our client had struck the vehicle in front of him first. In addition, the truck driver insisted that our client had struck the vehicle in front of him first. Our client and his wife, who was riding as passenger, vehemently denied that they had hit anything first, and stated they had come to a complete stop prior to being knocked into the car in front of them. Prior to trial, the offer from the insurance company for the truck driver was $0.00. Utilizing deposition transcripts and cross examination at trial we were able to discredit the truck driver and show that the most likely cause of the pile-up was the negligence of the truck driver, who, pulling a large fishing boat, was simply traveling too fast and could not stop in time before striking our client’s van. He finally admitted under questioning at trial that he didn’t even see our client’s van until he hit them. The Norfolk jury came back with a fair and substantial verdict in favor of our client.
