About Mike
Mike Miller took a straightforward path into the law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Hanover College in 1969 and a J.D. from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 1974. Those years set a steady foundation and placed him in Indiana at a formative moment for his career.
He began his public-service work in the mid-1970s. In 1976 he served as a lawyer in the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, gaining courtroom experience and exposure to the pressures of trial work. That prosecutorial experience helped shape his approach to advocacy—direct, pragmatic and attentive to procedure.
By 1980 he had moved into private practice at Montross Miller. The record lists him there beginning that year. Over time his practice gravitated toward litigation. He pursued civil trials and related disputes rather than transactional work. The path from prosecutor to civil litigator is common, and his resume follows that arc.
His professional credentials include board certification in Civil Trial Law by the National Board of Trial Lawyers. That recognition reflects a sustained engagement in contested cases and a record that peers have evaluated. He also holds fellowship in the American College of Trial Lawyers, an affiliation that signals a degree of peer recognition within the trial bar.
Miller remains active in local and national professional groups. He maintains membership in the Indianapolis American Inn of Court and the Indianapolis Bar Association. He is listed as a member of the American Association of Justice and the American College of Trial Lawyers as a fellow. Those associations provide ongoing connections to continuing legal education and to colleagues who practice trial work across a range of courts.
Over the decades his practice has stayed rooted in Indiana courts. He has experience in courtroom procedure, jury practice and the litigation processes that drive civil trials. He is known within the legal community primarily as a trial lawyer rather than an office-based counselor.
In his current practice he continues to handle civil trial matters in Indiana. He maintains memberships in local and national legal organizations and holds a civil trial law board certification that reflects his focus on litigation. He practices civil trial law in Indiana.
