Strong legal skills; compassionate and prompt with responses to my questions
I needed a travel permit, which my probation officer refused to give me despite a spotless record. The travel was necessary for a new job. Miller got right on this and got the job done.
I never imagine or think about getting into trouble before. Being first time to be accused of something not intentionally meant to do is really a heartbreaking, emotional wreck, stressful moments in my life. Attorney Miller Leonard is truly a blessing for me and my family. He fought for me all the way to get back my freedom, my life, honor and career. I am truly grateful for what he had done for me and get positive outcome more than I expected. He is very professional, patient, genuinely care to his client, and very responsive to all my concerns regarding my case. I highly recommended him to anyone who needed legal help in times of this very stressful situation just i've have been through.
I practice in federal, state, and municipal courts. I have handled thousands of criminal cases - from misdemeanors to first-degree murder. I handle domestic violence cases, sex crimes, general crimes, property crimes, and white-collar crimes.
I am a former Special Assistant United States Attorney as well as a former member of the CJA panel for the Western District of Missouri. I am a current member of the CJA panel for the District of Colorado. This is a select panel of attorneys who are cleared to handle federal criminal defense appointments in the District of Colorado.
White Collar matters are complex, demanding, and require great attention to detail. I have handled matters ranging from tax charges to complex fraud investigations.

Quiet Confidence and an Earned Reputation for Excellence
Miller Leonard is the rare combination of a tactical trial lawyer and razor sharp author of devastating motions. He exudes a quiet confidence that more boastful and less talented lawyers envy. Why? When you are good, you don't have to remind people. When you are great, you can calmly walk in, kick tail, and tip your hat as you walk out. That's Miller! When you need the best, search no further! That attorney is Miller Leonard. He will set the bar high and glide over it for your case.
