class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Miller is the co-founder of Owens &amp; Miller, a personal injury and wrongful death law firm she launched in 2011 with colleague and fellow Campbell Law alum Will Owens. The firm handles serious injury and wrongful death cases. The two attorneys first worked together at a high-volume injury firm where they \u00a0quickly realized they had a shared vision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuccessful high-volume firms have great processes and systems in place, and we were blessed to start our careers at one of the best,\u201d Miller explained. \u201cBut when we left to start our own firm, we didn\u2019t want to do volume. We wanted to be intentionally small, focused, hands-on, and personal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat intentionality and personal touch has proved to be appealing to clients and has allowed the firm to thrive with a lower volume of high-quality cases,\u201d said Miller.<\/p>\n<p>Miller has been named to the Super Lawyers list every year since 2017. In 2024 and 2025, she was named to the list of North Carolina\u2019s Top 50 Women Lawyers. She also holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest possible peer review rating for legal ethics and ability. Both Miller and Owens are members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things I\u2019m most proud of is that Will and I built something strong enough to sustain us through life\u2019s biggest moments, both the good and the bad,\u201d said Miller. \u201cOur partnership is built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to the firm\u2019s values and our clients. We\u2019re like a brother-sister team. We\u2019re not chasing size; we\u2019re chasing excellence, and we\u2019re doing it for the right reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The firm\u2019s intentionally small caseload also gives Miller and Owens the ability to collaborate on their bigger litigation matters. \u201cI love when Will and I get to try a case together. Whether it\u2019s our natural personalities or the roles we\u2019ve adopted from practicing together for almost two decades, we complement each other\u2019s strengths. I value his opinion, and he\u2019s always valued mine. Our shared goal is simple \u2013 to give our clients the best possible representation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hardest part is being a steady presence for people who may be walking through the most difficult time of their lives,\u201d said Miller. \u201cSome wrongful death cases take everything out of you. There are moments when I have to step away and take a breath. But I know that if I ever stop feeling the weight of what my clients are going through, then it might be time for me to hang it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-11818759 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"11818759\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6557f024\" data-id=\"6557f024\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5dffe7ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5dffe7ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Advocacy with Heart<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b84505c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3b84505c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Miller became a lawyer because she loved the idea of trial work. Watching \u201cMatlock\u201d with her grandfather as a child sparked a lifelong interest in the courtroom. She still finds joy in the challenge of trying cases. But after nearly two decades in practice, her approach to law has become more deeply personal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want clients to feel like they\u2019re sitting down with a family member or a dear friend,\u201d said Miller. \u201cNo one comes to us on their best day, they\u2019re hurt, out of work, and overwhelmed. My job is to take that weight off their shoulders and earn their trust. I\u2019m honest with clients, even when the truth is tough to hear. I\u2019ve learned not to sugarcoat things. Telling clients what they want to hear doesn\u2019t help them. They need someone who\u2019s going to tell them the truth and fight for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She remembered trying her first case in Cumberland County 16 years ago. Afterward, her client, a recent immigrant from Nigeria, told her it was the first time since moving to the U.S. that she felt someone was truly on her side. \u201cI carry that with me,\u201d said Miller. \u201cSometimes, people just need someone in their corner who is willing to go out and fight for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f7f4c79\" data-id=\"f7f4c79\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-460ff4b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"460ff4b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Miller.Kids_-730x1024.jpeg?resize=730%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-187536\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"> Kimberly Miller with her family.

She discussed the commitment with her husband, Jason, also an attorney, but the final push came from their 11-year-old daughter, Sicilia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe looked at me and said, \u2018Mom, you have to do it. Why wouldn\u2019t you?\u2019 Then she kept asking every day if I\u2019d said yes,\u201d Miller laughed. \u201cThat reminded me how closely she\u2019s watching. I want her to see what it looks like to show up and lead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller said she was very much shaped by watching the examples of other strong women in her life, particularly her mother and grandmother.\u00a0 Her leadership roots trace back to her late grandmother, a community advocate and self-described \u201cjoiner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was always involved, whether with the American Business Women\u2019s Association, serving with her church for Meals on Wheels, or running her local political precinct. My grandmother was a tremendous inspiration for me, and I got my motivation to serve the community from her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller\u2019s mother was a single parent who raised twins while working full-time, which she said inspired much of that mindset. \u201cShe showed me what it looks like to struggle balancing career and family, but to always show up fully for the people who count on you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller served as president of the Lacy Foundation a local nonprofit organization that provides funding for additional teaching positions to elementary school students not provided by the state budget. She chaired the WCBA Bar Awards, which raises money for Legal Aid and the WCBA Foundation Steering Committee and led the Campbell Law Alumni Association. In 2018, she received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Campbell University.<\/p>\n<p>Miller\u2019s leadership philosophy is straightforward. \u201cMake space for diverse perspectives but avoid analysis paralysis. Be decisive and direct. Our profession gives us a voice.

For young lawyers, it can be a place to grow their practice and build a community in the profession.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cWhile we celebrate the accomplishments of the past, it\u2019s equally important to view this moment as a chance to define what we want the next 100 years to look like. We have the opportunity to begin laying the foundation for the future of the Wake County Bar Association.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller said she is committed to continuing and expanding the legacy of professionalism established by the presidents and members who came before her. In her first address to WCBA members, she urged her colleagues, \u201cAs we move through this Centennial year, I encourage all of us not only to honor the legacy of professionalism left by those who came before us, but also to think about how we can elevate it moving forward. We have the power to set the standard for professionalism in North Carolina. The Wake County Bar can be the model for other bar associations to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller is also focused on the future of the legal profession, particularly when it comes to attracting and retaining young lawyers. She recalled that the WCBA was one of the first organizations she joined as a new attorney and that many of her closest professional relationships were formed through it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d1e26c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4d1e26c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"874\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Miller.Lunch_.jpg?resize=1024%2C874&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-187537\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Miller&#8217;s WCBA swearing in ceremony in December 2024.
