About Michael
Michael Miller built a legal career that spans prosecution, private practice and committee service. He graduated from Lafayette College before earning a J.D. from The University of Toledo College of Law in 1977. Those early academic years set the stage for a long career in New Jersey and Pennsylvania courts.
His first notable public role came in 1980, when he served as an assistant prosecutor in the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office. He spent that time handling cases in a busy county system and developing courtroom experience. Three years later he opened the Law Offices of Michael D. Miller, which he has operated as a private practice since 1983. In 2013 he took an of‑counsel position at Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, PA, adding another layer to his practice profile.
Miller is admitted to practice in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Those dual admissions have allowed him to appear in a range of trial courts and to maintain a practice that crosses state lines when cases require it. Colleagues describe him as a litigant comfortable in the courtroom and familiar with the procedural demands of criminal and civil trial work.
Professional associations have been a recurring part of his career. He holds membership in the Camden County Bar Association and is active in organizations that represent trial lawyers, including Trial Lawyers of America and Trial Lawyers of New Jersey. He is also a member of the Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers of New Jersey. At the state level he has been involved with the New Jersey State Ethics Committee; he served as chair in the past and remains a member.
His practice has included both prosecutorial and defense perspectives. That background informs how he approaches case strategy and courtroom tactics. He has maintained offices in multiple New Jersey locations over the years, including Turnersville, Bridgeton, Freehold, Hackensack, Somers Point, Vineland, Willingboro and Woodstown, reflecting a geographically broad client base.
Miller’s career is marked by steady involvement in trial work and professional governance rather than by public fanfare. He continues to handle matters in state courts and to participate in bar and ethics organizations. His current practice concentrates on trial litigation and criminal defense in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
