Miller Barondess LLP

Litigation

Founding Partner

Louis R. (Skip) Miller is a trial lawyer who represents clients in state and federal courts in California and across the country. Skip blends deep litigation and trial expertise with a visionary approach. Dubbed “L.A.’s Hired Gun,” his tenacious approach—honed in over 100 trials—sets him apart.  As former L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky put it, “If you are in the legal trenches, Skip is the one you want down there with you.”

Under Skip’s leadership, Miller Barondess has grown organically by recruiting talented young lawyers and training them in Skip’s relentless, strategic and aggressive litigation style, shaped by landmark cases like the Rodney King civil rights trial, the billion-dollar Lehman bankruptcy battle, and the historical settlement of the Aliso Canyon gas leak (the largest natural gas leak in U.S. history). Recognized on the LA500 list of the Most Influential People in Los Angeles and as a Top 100 Lawyer in California, Skip’s leadership and mentorship position Miller Barondess as a litigation powerhouse.
