In 1980, Mr. Miller was awarded his attorney’s license and began the practice of law as an associate and then a partner with the law firm of Kaplan, Brewer, Bilheimer & Marks. In 1986, Mr. Miller established his own law firm, the Law Offices of Peter Miller. And the rest is, as they say, history!. Since then, he has seen the law firm he founded nearly four decades ago grow into one of the foremost personal injury firms in the state, as evidenced by multiple awards from the Arkansas Times and others. The value of helping people in their time of need led him to found this firm, and those same values guide the firm today under the leadership of Managing Partner Jessica Virden Mallett. Peter Miller is licensed by the Arkansas Bar Association to practice before the Arkansas State Court, the United States District Court, the Eighth Circuit of Appeals, and the Supreme Court of the United States of America. In addition, he is licensed by the United States Court of International Trade to practice as an attorney and counselor at law.. Peter Miller came to the legal profession with a wealth of experience in other areas seemingly unrelated to the practice of personal injury law. This unique path to becoming a lawyer is one of his greatest strengths, giving him an effortless ability to empathize with people from all walks of life, representing them to his fullest capacity with expertise. He graduated from the University of Hartford with a BA in English, with an emphasis on Southern literature and a minor in chemistry and physics. After college, he traveled widely through Europe and North Africa, and, on the weight of the photographic work accomplished during his travels, he was awarded a graduate assistantship at the University of Iowa.. When Mr. Miller finished his graduate studies, he and his wife Karen moved to New York, where he was employed by United Artists Corporation in the field of motion picture production. He took the highly competitive Director’s Guild Assistant Director’s annual examination and was only one of five persons to be awarded Apprentice Membership in the Director’s Guild of America. The opportunity to establish a county-wide newspaper in Arkansas arose, and Mr. Miller and his wife moved to Heber Springs, where they were involved in the establishment of the Arkansas Sun. He served as a reporter, photographer, and Assistant Editor of the paper until it was sold. It was then that Mr. Miller moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, where he established an advertising media company, which he ran while attending law school at night.
Let me tell you a little bit about me, my experience and my areas of expertise.. I went to the Cornell Law School and have over thirty years’ experience representing individuals, workers and unions in federal and local trial and appellate courts throughout the country. I am committed to representing the interests and rights of employees and injured individuals. I have extensive jury trial experience. In addition to the District of Columbia, I have tried cases throughout the country, from San Diego to Seattle, Tennessee to Maryland, and in Richmond and Alexandria, Virginia. I am a member of the Board of Governors of the Trial Lawyers Association of Metropolitan Washington, D.C.. Having been a trial attorney for a major labor union for nine years and then a partner in a labor law firm for another nine years, I have considerable experience in employment law, including wrongful discharge, sex, race, and other forms of discrimination, labor law, employee benefits, “whistleblower” cases, individual employment contracts, non-compete agreements and severance benefits.. As one example of my trial experience, in March 1999, after an eleven day trial, a jury in Oakland California awarded a young airline pilot I represented, Kathleen Betts, over $1.5 million in a sex discrimination and defamation case against United Airlines. Betts v. United Airlines, Inc., Dkt. 97-4329 (U.S. Dist. Ct., N.D. Ca.); see also, 246 F.3d 672, 2000 WL 1728077 (9th Cir. 2000).. Over the last fifteen years I have also developed expertise in toxic tort and other complex personal injury cases, especially childhood and workplace lead poisoning cases. I have recovered well over $12 million on behalf of lead poisoned children.. In April 2000, a jury awarded a lead poisoned child and his mother whom I represented, $1.6 million after an eight day trial in the District of Columbia Superior Court. Gomez v. Atlantic Realty, Civ. 97-1151 (D.C. Sup. Ct.). That is still the largest verdict and recovery for a lead poisoned child in the District of Columbia. As the parent of a disabled son, I have a unique understanding of what it means to have a disabled child and a special passion for representing injured or disabled children in lead poisoning and other types of cases.. In another case, I represented a group of people forced from their homes by a gasoline spill from a gas station that resulted in a multimillion dollar settlement in 2002. In 2003, I settled a premises liability case for almost $2 million. Of course, I have also represented persons in more commonplace personal injury cases, such as car accidents, slip and fall cases, assaults, and so on. There is no cost to you to retain me—I only earn my fee, if I produce results for you.. I started as a litigation and trial attorney on the staff of the Air Line Pilots Association, the largest pilots' union, for nine years. After that I joined a small union-side labor law firm in Washington, D.C. and was there for another nine years, becoming a partner there. I then joined the law firm of Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot, one of the top personal injury firms in the area, and spent five years with that firm. In 2004 I decided to strike out on my own and open my own law office where I continue to represent injured workers, children and other persons with personal attention, skill and dedication.. I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, spent three years in the Army during the Vietnam Era, was honorably discharged, and earned my law degree from the Cornell Law School. My wife of twenty-three years, Lynne, much my better half, I and our two adopted children, Stephen, who has cerebral palsy, and Alyssa, live in Arlington, Virginia.
