About Vess A.
Vess A. Miller earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Indiana University in 2003 and a J.D. from Indiana University Maurer School of Law in 2006. He combined technical training with legal study early. That pairing shaped the choices he made as he entered practice.
After law school, Miller took a path that brought him into litigation and federal practice. He is admitted to practice in Indiana and California and before the United States District Courts for the Southern and Northern Districts of Indiana, as well as the Federal Circuit. Those admissions allow him to handle matters in state and federal courts across multiple jurisdictions.
Miller is associated with Cohen & Malad, LLP. At the firm he has worked on cases that intersect technical issues and legal doctrine. His undergraduate background in computer science gives him a different lens when he evaluates evidence, prepares witnesses and distills technical concepts for judges and juries. He is comfortable working through complex technical records and translating them into clear legal positions.
His professional memberships include the Indiana Bar Association and the American Bar Association. Miller maintains those memberships as part of an effort to keep up with developments in practice and procedure. He participates in continuing legal education and follows shifts in court decisions that affect federal litigation and technology-related disputes.
Colleagues describe Miller as methodical in preparation and concise in courtroom presentations. He favors short, precise explanations over lengthy exposition. That approach is evident in filings and oral argument. He balances attention to detail with an eye toward practical solutions for clients.
Outside the office, Miller’s earlier training in computing continues to inform his work. He pays particular attention to how electronic evidence is created and preserved. That perspective guides case strategy from early discovery through trial preparation.
He currently practices at Cohen & Malad, LLP and handles litigation that involves technical subject matter and federal procedure, drawing on both his law degree and his computer science background.
