About Miranda
Biography
If one thing can be said about Miranda's interactions with her clients, it is that she truly cares. Having been through the process of a personal injury suit herself, she is uniquely in touch with what it is like to be in the client's shoes.
In 2015, she was named by the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin as an Emerging Lawyer in the State of Illinois, as well as being recognized as a Rising Star by Super Lawyer every year since 2015. Both accolades are an honor extended only to those lawyers who are the most recommended by their peers. Again in 2015, she was named as 40 under 40 by the Central Illinois Business Magazine, which recognizes the achievements, leadership, innovation, experience and community involvement of young professionals in Central Illinois. Miranda is continuously recognized for her dedication to practicing law, which is shown in receiving the title of 2019 Leading Lawyer and her most recent appointment as an Executive Committee Member of the Women's Trial Lawyer Caucus of the American Association for Justice in 2021.
During law school, Miranda received accolades for her performance in the area of Advanced Legal Research and as a member of the Law School’s traveling trial team. She is a recipient of the Pro Bono Notation for volunteering numerous hours of legal services to those in need.
When she is not working on a case, Miranda enjoys volunteering with multitude of different organizations, hanging out with her two dogs and cat, and spending time with her husband, Chris.

The attorney for healing
Miranda was amazing. I always felt she was there for me. I could call her phone anytime and she would get back to me, even on her off time. She worked hard to get the best settlement I could. I never felt she rushed me or didn't feel she was only there because she had to be. She assisted my husband a...

Replied last March 20, 2018Toni, it was great to work with you and Mark. No matter where the road leads you, know that I’m always happy to lend a hand, or an ear.

Miranda is one of the best!
Miranda and law partner Jim Spiros, handled a land rights case for my family that resulted in a ruling in our favor. The decision was affirmed by the Appellate Court, and sanctions were even granted because the appeal was deemed frivolous – somewhat of a rarity. Miranda was always well-prepared and p...

More than just a lawyer, she's a friend.
Miranda was a very dedicated lawyer for me. I had many meetings with her where she went over how she was going to get statements from different people. She always made sure that I was kept informed and agreed with what she was going to do. When I had a question, no matter how small it was, she alw...

Miranda Soucie
Miranda has been an excellent attorney for us during the loss of my father. We originally approached Spiros Law about pursuing a different case, but after expert review, that case was not going to be strong enough, but Miranda gave us another avenue. She is so empathetic, helpful and informative. Mir...
