I have more than twenty-five years of experience representing and counseling employers in a wide range of employment law matters. As the founding partner of Miller Law Partners, PC, I have successfully represented employers in a variety of employment law matters, including wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and individual and class action wage and hour lawsuits.
I counsel employers throughout California on all aspects of employment relations and compliance and assist employers with workplace investigations, employment-related audits, as well as with the preparation of workplace policies and procedures. I also regularly train management and supervisors and speak to employer groups in the areas of harassment, discrimination and retaliation prevention and human resources best practices.
I practice both in state and federal court and also before the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the United States Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, the California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, the Employment Development Department of the State of California and the U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
I occasionally represent individuals in a variety of employment related disputes, focusing primarily on wrongful termination, discrimination and harassment. I also assist individuals with severance negotiations.

I've known and worked with Lee for more than 20 years. He is thorough, knows the law inside and out, and is always well-prepared. His clients are lucky to have him his attorney - he is a first rate litigator and an ethical, honest attorney.

An exceptional litigation attorney whose reputation speaks for itself. Highly recommended lawyer.
Steven Beltran, Personal injury Attorney on Jul 28, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse Lee because he is smart, prepared, courteous and a very good lawyer! I have worked with him for several years on very difficult government tort claims issues and have referred employment and labor cases to him as well. Every prospective client referral I have made to him has responded to me with absolute satisfaction.
Steven Sokoloff, Employment and labor Attorney on Dec 26, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have co-counseled with Lee and his firm on several employment matters and referred them many cases over the years. I trust Lee and his team. Lee cares about his clients and it shows in his work. He works tirelessly and diligently to maximize the value of each case. He stays on the offensive while never losing his sense of professionalism. He is respected by attorneys on both sides and by judges throughout California. They all know he knows what he is doing and trust me that makes a big difference. I would not hesitate to recommend Lee's legal services to anyone looking for an attorney.

Lee is an excellent, knowledgeable attorney. He stays calm and focused on delivering the best result for the client by remaining professional and thorough, regardless of the circumstances. His clients really trust him. I highly recommend Lee Miller and his law firm.
Alan Nahmias, Employment and labor Attorney on Mar 14, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Lee and others at his firm on several occasions over the years and on each of these occasions, have found Lee and those he works with to be highly capable, ethical and concerned for the overall needs and objectives of the firm's clients. I would recommend Lee without any hesitation whatsoever.
Howard Fields, Employment and labor Attorney on Mar 14, 2013

I do not do employment law. Mr. Miller is not only an excellent "go to guy" for any question I might have about labor law, he is the one person I refer any potential labor/employment law client to. He is knowledgeable, articulate, experienced and appropriately aggressive. Anybody I have ever referred to Mr. Miller has been very pleased with his representation.
