About Miller

If you are charged with a crime, you need an aggressive, experienced lawyer.  I am a former prosecutor, former Special Assistant United States Attorney, and a former Public Defender.  I use my experience to help you, defend you, and to make sure that the government doesn't violate your rights.

The firm accepts either hourly or flat fee representation payment options on criminal cases. Car accident cases are handled on a contingent fee arrangement.
