Karla C. Miller, Founder
Karla C. Miller has devoted her entire career to the practice of family law in Tennessee. Originally from Dothan, Alabama, Karla moved to Tennessee in 1986 and enrolled in the Nashville School of Law a few years later. While in her final year, she clerked for the Honorable Steve Daniel, a professor at the school. Upon graduation in 1996, she opened her own firm and has been assisting families throughout Tennessee ever since. She became a Rule 31 Listed Family mediator in 2009.
In an effort to help military families in the area, Karla became a volunteer ombudsman with Department of Defense, serving as a link between those who serve and their employers.

In 2009, she was named National Ombudsman of the Year by the Military Officers Association of America.

Karla at home
When she’s not in the office working for her clients, Karla loves spending time at the beach or taking in the blues and traditional jazz scene in Nashville or New Orleans. She and her husband, Nashville personal injury attorney Phillip Miller, share an office, a home and a beautiful Labradoodle named Stella. The three of them spend hours walking in the local parks – when Stella isn’t too busy making home movies about herself, that is. Karla also loves to sing, and she has sung in various church choirs and secular choruses as well. She has been known to sing Karaoke every now and then (don’t tell anyone).
