With 28 years of experience handling nearly every kind of civil and criminal appeal, I know what it takes to win. I began writing appeals in 1985 as a student intern with the Wisconsin Attorney General's Office, Criminal Appeals Division, and then graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Madison Law school in 1987 in the top 10% of my class. From 1987 until 1994 I maintained a civil and criminal litigation practice with a heavy emphasis on appeals. Since 1996 my practice has been exclusively appellate. I am certified with the Wisconsin State Public defender for Levels 1, 2 and 3 (all criminal cases) and have been, at one time or another, certified for Chapters 48 and 938 (Juvenile); Chapters 51 & 55 (Mental Health, Guardianship & Protective Placement); and Termination of Parental Rights. I served on the Board of the Appellate Practice Section of the State Bar of Wisconsin for five years (2004-2008).
My services are offered on a state-wide basis to clients directly and trial lawyers on a consulting basis. I also work with trial counsel to preserve issues for appeal by assisting with substantive motions, summary judgments, briefs, research and writing.

Right Guy for DOC Dealings
I retained Mr Miller after going through two previous attorneys and a considerable amount time and money. I found Steve to be a highly skilled, motivated, pleasant, and honest man. While he took my case on an hourly basis the cost of his representation was more than fair due to his experience and kno...

Excellent results exceeded my expectations
I brought two appellate matters to Attorney Miller. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, and he was always prompt in getting back to me and explaining the process. Attorney Miller sorted through the legal issues with ease, and presented clear, succinct, compelling briefs on my behalf that exce...

Integrity
Steve's appellate work helped us win our six year lawsuit. Steve's ability to grasp the facts of our case and present it to the court, allowed us to recoup tens of thousands of dollars. We truly appreciated Steve's abilities as an attorney, but more than that, we found him to be a man if integrity....

The knowledge and experience you need in an appeal.
Attorney Miller successfully represented me on a complex appeal. From the outset, he kept me informed about the process and did not sugar coat anything. He went the extra mile to ensure success of the case and was a straight shooter all the way. He was always available by both phone and email. If...

No Need to Look Any Further for Any Appellate Attorney
My family and I have used Steve for two different matters and found him to be capable, hard-working, responsive, and reasonably-priced. He's also direct and to-the-point, so he won't waste your money on matters which in his professional opinion are not worth pursuing. As such, we highly recommend h...
"Steve is an fantastic appellate attorney. His legal research and writing skills are outstanding, as proven by his past success. I highly endorse Steve!"
"Steve Miller is the attorney I always refer appellate work to. I have a predominantly family law practice, but generally do NOT handle appellate work. When my clients wish to appeal a decision, I confidently refer them to Steve. He has always been diligent and competent in handling these family law appeals for my clients. I will continue to refer this work to him, as I completely trust him to do a great job!"
"I have had the pleasure of working with Steve for the past 12 years. His appellate work is insightful, innovative and well founded. Steve has worked with me on civil and criminal appeals and motions."
"I believe that Steve is the best appeals lawyer in Wisconsin. He has won many many difficult appeals, including several appeals I referred to him. He is extremely intelligent, clever, and a repository of legal knowledge and experience. I highly recommend him."
