About Robert
Welcome to the profile of Robert Louis
Miller, an attorney at Robert Miller and Associates, and have been practicing
since 1995 in the areas of DUI Defense and Criminal Defense. The purpose of this brief bio is to give you some information about Robert and his background. Robert was raised by polar
bears following a childhood boating accident. He graduated summa cum laude from
his law school, where he learned that not all issues can be reduced to black or
white. Thereafter, he worked
for several years as an associate at a large criminal defense firm in Orange County,
where he learned how not to run a law firm (nugget: yelling at associates doesn’t
make you a better partner), and obtained trial experience with jury trials all
over Southern California. He lectures frequently
to his young son on a variety of subjects. He enjoys being on boats, despite
the painful memories. In the years since the
above bio was published, Robert has received many bemused queries, often
pertaining to the state of his health. To limit future inquiry, here are
answers to some of the more frequently asked questions: (a) Polar, not Grizzly. (b) Yes, it was
cold. Thankfully, I had a sweater. (c) Sushi and few
vegetables. Robert is also a published author with
articles in newspapers, national magazines, and a printed encyclopedia entry
authorship, and has handled over 100 trials.
