Derek Miller was an assistant prosecuting attorney for over a decade. He also served in the State Legislature as a State Representative and even wrote legislation. He has been a licensed attorney for over 15 years. He has represented defendants and prosecuted thousands of them.
D. Miller has an intimate knowledge of the Criminal Justice System, that very few have. Most defense attorneys have never been a Prosecuting Attorney. And very few, were the Chief of Operations for one of the largest Prosecuting Attorney Offices in the State of Michigan.
D. Miller knows how investigations begin. How charges are brought to the Prosecutor to be analyzed. Even when charges are ultimately brought, he understands where the weaknesses in cases lie. And, probably most importantly, D. Miller is a criminal justice litigator. What does that mean? It means, when things get hard and your rights have been violated, he will not hesitate to stand up to the Prosecutor and law enforcement to vehemently defend you and/or your loved ones in front of a Judge and Jury.
When you see that police officer behind you and those lights come on, you feel scared. It doesn’t matter who you are. You can be doing absolutely nothing wrong. Do you know what your rights are?
Today, you hear about DA and Attorney General offices being politicized and even weaponized. You have probably spent a lifetime working hard building a reputation in the community. You may also be concerned about the effects charges or a conviction may have on your business. Many people, including family and lifetime employees are relying on you. Make sure you are protected!
Police have a difficult job. They are true public servants. We need more good people becoming police officers. But the reality of the situation is, in today’s society, too many of our men and women in blue are over worked, under paid, not getting the physical, mental and emotional support they need. Mistakes can be made. Meanwhile your livelihood and your freedom depend on having an attorney with the experience to analyze the case and fight to protect you.
But when the Government brings charges against you it will change your life forever. Friends will stop calling. You will likely lose your job. Banks and financial institution will demand that you withdrawal your money and close your accounts from their institution based solely on allegations. You may lose your drivers license, have to forfeit traveling rights. You will likely have to forfeit your constitutional rights to possess a weapon. And it certainly has the potential to crush you financially. And that is even before you are even convicted.
There’s too much at stake! You deserve the best. Even if you’re concerned that you may have witnessed something that puts you at risk, do not wait.
