My Background  

Allen C. Miller, Jr., a trial attorney practicing in Hudson (Columbia County), New York, has tried more than 45 jury trials to verdict over the last 20 years.

After graduating in 1972 with a bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Pennsylvania, and serving four years as a gunnery officer in the U.S. Navy, he attended law school in 1976. Upon graduation from Albany Law in 1979, he and his wife Jean returned to his hometown of Claverack (near Hudson, NY), where they have lived ever since.

As the first full-time prosecutor for the Columbia County District Attorney’s Office in the early 1980's, he soon realized that winning in the courtroom rested less on courtroom dramatics than on thorough preparation and relentless investigation of the facts. Much of his experience came from presenting over 100 cases to the Grand Jury, a process which entails investigating the case as it is being presented to the jurors. His hard work paid off -- he won every felony case he took to trial.

From 1984 to 1986, he entered general practice and served as First Assistant County Attorney, broadening his experience in the civil litigation area.

Between 1986 and 1988, he practiced in Albany with a personal injury law firm, and then started his own law practice. In 1990, he established his personal injury practice at its current location, where he has successfully represented hundreds of personal injury clients.
