About Jennifer
Biography
At Miller Law, we are committed to making a difference in the areas of family law, especially where allegations of domestic violence or protection orders impact parenting plans, and criminal law.
I have tried over 150 class A and B felony cases. I have mediated and tried countless family law issues. I am in court weekly. I know the commissioners and judges in King, Snohomish and Pierce County. Having seen how hard divorce is on children first hand I was inspired to be a catalyst for change in this area, making sure the needs of children are focused on. Without a thoughtful plan in place, children can be emotionally scarred by the divorce process.
As prosecutor of over a decade, I know how the legal system and trials work. I teach trial advocacy part time at University of Washington law school. I know how to fight in the court room. There is <nothing> I love more than trial. I have a proven track record of results. That being said, my goal is always to avoid conflict and court when possible. But, if necessary, I'm willing and able to have a hard battle in court.
I believe we have a duty to improve our community, making a difference in whatever way we are best able, which is why I became an attorney. Whether your needs are with a family law issue or finding an attorney who will fight hard for your loved one accused of a crime, Miller Law can help.

A bulldog who will fight for you
Jennifer assumed my case from my previous counsel and saved my case. Literally. She took on a mess from work he hadn't done in 2 years and she wrapped up my case in 8 months and it only took her that long because opposing counsel was a nightmare that literally would not respond to emails or calls. S...

EXTREMELY a joy to work with. 100% DEDICATED to making sure my case was shown proper attention, while balancing her current cases.

Amazing, Caring, Knowledgable Attorney

Quite A Find!!
It's hard to summarize in a few words how grateful I am to have found someone so competent, caring, professional and downright nice. Ms. Miller actually took over my divorce proceedings after my first choice did a horrible job and muddied up the waters very badly. Though entering into these muddy w...
Jennifer Miller's Lawyer Endorsements
"Jennifer is an exceptional lawyer. She has taken her extensive criminal prosecution background and turned it into a successful family law and criminal defense practice. Jennifer truly cares about her clients, going above and beyond to represent them. She is extremely knowledgeable, and I never hesitate to refer clients to her. I highly recommend Jennifer Miller."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jennifer and I handled a complicated and emotionally charged case together. She was professional, level headed and extremely capable. I highly recommend her."
"Solid lawyer."
"Jennifer is one of those attorneys that I look forward to working with. She is hard working, practical and very dedicated to her clients and their needs. I whole heartedly endorse Jennifer as an exceptional family law attorney."
"Jennifer is everything you want in an attorney; she is brilliant, meticulous, compassionate and personable. Jennifer's many years of litigation experience have equipped her with a unique set of skills with which to approach the complex family law, criminal law, and business law matters that she handles. I have consulted with Jennifer on occasions where my cases have such crossover issues. I wholeheartedly endorse Jennifer."
"I have known Ms. Miller since her days as a prosecutor. She is an excellent attorney and strong advocate for her clients. I give her my highest endorsement."
"I tried many cases against Jennifer when I was a public defender with The Defender Association and she was with the King County Prosecutor's Office. I found her to be highly professional, fair-minded, and a formidable adversary in the courtroom (full disclosure--I lost more cases against Jennifer than I won). She had a keen sense for the strengths and weaknesses of her cases and a talent for weeding out the cases she saw were appropriate for negotiation and taking to trial the cases that demanded a stiffer punishment. It is my pleasure to endorse Jennifer."
"Ms. Miller is an extremely skilled trial lawyer. Working with her in my years as a DPA, I was continually impressed with her skill, work ethic, and commitment to justice. Her preparation and commitment to knowing the details of the law are also exceptional. I endorse her in any litigation context without hesitation."
"I attended law school with Jenn and worked with her at the prosecutor's office. It's obvious that Jenn cares deeply about the citizens she represents and works extremely hard every day to help hold people criminally accountable for their conduct. Her service to our community is much appreciated."
