Firm: Miller Legal Group, P.C.

400 Continental Blvd. , El Segundo , California 90245

Practice Areas: General Practice, Employment & Labor, Employment & Labor

Recognizing the complex web of continually changing federal and state employment laws and the increased employee lawsuits which impact employers operating in California, Stefan Miller founded Miller Legal Group, P.C. to help small and medium-sized businesses develop and implement measures to minimize exposure for employment-related claims and avoid litigation. Mr. Miller has spent his entire 18-year legal career practicing exclusively in the area of employment law representing employers in a variety of different industries (e.g., communications and high technology, restaurant, retail, manufacturing, construction, staffing/recruiting, electronics, entertainment, education, automobile, food and grocery, health care, consulting, freight forwarding and international logistics, medical billing, banking) and professions (e.g., medical, legal, accounting, actuarial, teaching/education and engineering).. Some of the larger representative clients that Mr. Miller has defended or otherwise represented the interests of in connection with employment law matters include: Federal Express; AT&T Corp.; Safeway Inc.; Lucent Technologies Inc.; The Vons Companies; RadioShack Corporation; Mastercard International; Avaya Inc.; International House of Pancakes; Kaiser Permanente (Southern California Permanente Medical Group); Kragen Auto Parts; ITT Educational Services, Inc.; and University of West Los Angeles.. Mr. Miller advises clients on a wide-range of federal and California employment laws relating to all aspects of the employment relationship, including hiring, harassment and discrimination, leaves of absence, disability accommodation, wage and hour matters (e.g., overtime, rest breaks and meal periods, etc.), privacy, safety and health, reductions in force, performance management and employee discipline and termination. Mr. Miller has significant experience advising clients about employment situations which involve the intersection of various applicable California and federal laws relating to family/medical leaves of absence and disability accommodation as well as California’s workers’ compensation laws.. Mr. Miller also advises management regarding the development and implementation of employment policies, procedures and related documentation which impacts all facets of the employment relationship, including but not limited to employment applications, offer letters, employee handbooks, training guidelines, wage and hour related forms, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, arbitration agreements as well as agreements relating to the protection of confidential and/or proprietary information (including non-disclosure and non-solicitation), conflicts of interest and separation.. Mr. Miller also has advised employers regarding the implementation and use of background investigations for both applicants and existing employees as well as the implementation of drug and alcohol testing and related issues. In addition, Mr. Miller has advised employers regarding various workplace violence issues and has successfully obtained temporary restraining orders to diffuse both potential and actual workplace violence situations.. In addition to counseling small and medium-sized businesses on a day-to-day basis about all aspects of employment law and HR-related issues, Mr. Miller also is retained and serves as an independent fact-finder to investigate claims of alleged workplace misconduct. Likewise, Mr. Miller regularly advises in-house human resource or other business contacts regarding how to conduct such workplace investigations. Mr. Miller also delivers training workshops for human resource professionals and other members of management about conducting timely and thorough workplace investigations.. When retained as a neutral, independent fact-finder to conduct an internal workplace investigation, Mr. Miller draws heavily on his employment law experience and expertise. First, he develops a reasoned plan of action for gathering relevant information and documentation and then executes that plan in a manner which is as efficient, non-disruptive and non-intrusive as possible. Second, his employment law experience and expertise enable Mr. Miller to spot subtle issues which may require further exploration to ensure a thorough investigation. Mindful that the purpose of the investigation is to independently find and determine facts and that the results of his investigation will form the basis of important decisions, Mr. Miller is committed to a fair, impartial and thorough examination of facts.. Mr. Miller spent most of his early career successfully defending employers and members of management against complaints for: wrongful termination in violation of public policy; discrimination, harassment and retaliation based on race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sex/gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy and disability; wage and hour violations; breach of contract; unfair competition claims; defamation; fraud; and various other statutory, contract and tort-related claims filed and prosecuted in federal and state courts as well as before administrative government agencies.. In addition to preparing numerous position statements in response to administrative complaints of discrimination and harassment filed with both federal and state administrative agencies (e.g., California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, United States Department of Health and Human Services, etc.), Mr. Miller also has handled all aspects of litigation from inception through the appeals process, including successfully arguing several appeals before United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In fact, Mr. Miller has prepared and successfully argued nearly all of the motions for summary judgment and each of the appeals prepared on behalf of the clients he has served.. Mr. Miller also has defended employers against employee claims filed pursuant to California’s workers’ compensation laws, including, but not limited to, California Labor Code, section 132a (prohibiting discrimination arising out of or relating to industrially-caused injuries) and California Labor Code, section 4553 (prohibiting serious and willful misconduct by an employer with respect to industrially-caused injuries).. Mr. Miller also conducts manager/supervisor training on: harassment, discrimination and retaliation; conducting workplace investigations; leaves of absence; disability accommodation and the interactive process; performance management, discipline and terminations; and proper record-keeping procedures. Likewise, he has spoken to business and professional human resource organizations (including Professionals in Human Resources Association or PIHRA) about various employment law topics, including: employment law compliance for new businesses; proactive, preventive measures that can be taken by employers to minimize exposure to employee lawsuits; harassment, discrimination and retaliation; leaves of absence; disability accommodation; performance management and discipline; privacy; and proper record-keeping practices.

Professional Background. A passion for justice drives me to fight hard for my clients' rights. Over the 25 years I have been practicing law, I have developed skills for handling many types of cases, especially cases involving personal injury (auto, premises liability and products liabilitiy), real estate (contracts, neighbor disputes, nuisances, boundary issues, disabiltiy access, etc.), construction (including design, installation, soils, mold and "indoor air quality" issues) and insurance.  I have handled cases in both State and Federal courts throughout California, achieving hundreds of favorable settlements for clients, and when needed, successfully trying cases to verdict.. Justice is based on truth, and truth is found by investigation and discovery.  When serving as an advocate, I pride myself with skillfully discovering the facts and evidence that will prove up my clients' position in the case, weaken my opponents' case, and help resolve the case. I carefully research the law applicable to the dispute, and consider the effect of the law on the evidence related to the case.  I help my clients understand the range of possible outcomes under the law and facts applicale to their case, preparing them to ultimately make an informed decision about whether to resolve the case at mediation, or take a case to trial or arbitration.. When serving as a mediator, I listen carefully to the  statements and arguments made by both sides.  I find that parties often start with "extreme" positions based on an assumption that if the matter goes to trial, they will get everything they want.  When speaking with litigants, I look for the kernels of information which might help build "common ground" on which to reach a compromise agreement.  I also help people realize potential weaknesses in their position, and possible unanticipated or unfavorable results which might occur if the matter was tried to a jury or judge.  I find that litigants often have not fully considered the "downside" which could occur if a judge or jury does not fully agree with their point of view.  By giving litigants a "neutral evalution" and pointing out possible weak points in their case, I help litigants understand how a mediated resolution which they have the opportunity to craft with the other side is usually preferable to a result which will be decided by a judge or jury over whom they have no control.. As an arbitrator, I conscientiously maintain a respectful, neutral demeanor so that parties feel comfortable that I am giving due consideration to all the arguments and evidence submitted by all sides before making a decision.  I work hard to assure that the atmosphere of the arbitration remains professional, discouraging bickering between parties and counsel which can lead to unnecessary stress and agitation.  Once the evidence is in, I promptly render an award based on my findings after considering all the evidence and arguments.. Personal Information. I am as passionate about life as I am about getting great results for my clients.. In the time when I am not working hard for my clients, I enjoy being active, including biking, tennis, kayaking, hiking with my dogs and almost any outdoor activity.  I also enjoy art, spending many quiet hours drawing, painting and writing, mostly for the enjoyment of my family and friends.. I find that taking this quiet time gives me time to reflect even more about the needs of my clients and I often incorporate "inspirations" from my personal time into the strategies I use in my clients' cases.
