Ms. Miller’s legal experience includes working at the highest criminal court in Texas, the Court of Criminal Appeals, in both the Central Staffing Attorney’s Office and directly for Presiding Judge Sharon Keller.

While at the Travis County Attorney’s Office, Ms. Miller gained extensive knowledge in criminal cases, including DWI and marijuana cases, as well as trial experience on a near daily basis.
Ms. Miller has since focused all her efforts on defense work and has put her years of experience and knowledge while working with various prosecuting offices to helping her clients by scrupulously defending them in their case. Ms. Miller has honed her skills and now applies all of those efforts to providing her clients with representation rising beyond all expectations.
