About Melissa

Compassionate.  Caring.  Understanding.

I grew up a military brat, and moved several times before returning to my mother’s hometown in Holly Pond, Alabama.  After finishing high school at Holly Pond High School, I moved to Tuscaloosa where I attended the University of Alabama as a Telecommunication and Film major.  After graduating from the University of Alabama, Ms. Miller went on to have a successful career in television news working at stations in Alabama and Georgia.  In 2002, Ms. Miller married a soldier in the United States Army.  Shortly thereafter, Ms. Miller and her family moved to Huntsville in 2003 after her husband was medically discharged from the Army due to injuries he sustained during Operation Enduring Freedom.  I had to help my husband fight for his VA disability benefits.  From my own experience, I understand just what military families and veterans go through when a soldier is injured.  I also understands the unique family issues that today’s military families face.

For years, I was a stay at home mom of three who worked freelance jobs in sports media and publicity.  I wanted to attend law school but the time never seemed just right.  Shortly after the birth of my third child, I began to attend law school at Birmingham School of Law.  Shortly after starting law school, my husband and I  separated and divorce proceedings began.  I continued my legal education, driving to Birmingham three to five times a week.  With help from her mother, family, and friends, I was able to finish the four year program in three years.  I finished cum laude, and in the top 8 percent of my law school class.  I was certified by the Alabama State Bar shortly thereafter.

I am committed to providing not only expert legal services to my clients, but am very committed to providing excellent customer service.  I never want my clients to ever feel like they are just another file on my desk or that their problems do not matter, because they do.  I knows what it is like for an attorney not to return an important call, and I am committed to making sure all of my client’s calls and emails are returned in a timely manner.  I knows just how difficult the legal process can be and is there to help you through it every step of the way.  I have handled over a hundred cases.  Clients trust me with those most important thing to them - their families, their children, and their financial well-being.  I do not take that trust lightly, and feel blessed that God has put me in the position to help people and make a difference in someone's life.
