What Miller Law Detroit does

The Miller Law Firm, P.C. is a Michigan-based litigation boutique founded in 1996 in Rochester, Michigan, that has grown from a 3-person practice into a 40-lawyer firm recognized as one of the state's leading complex litigation shops. The firm maintains its headquarters at 950 West University Dr. in Rochester and a second office at 211 West Fort Street in Detroit managed by Managing Partner Melvin "Butch" Hollowell. Practice areas span High Stakes Business Litigation, Automotive Litigation, Shareholder Disputes and Minority Shareholder Oppression, Employment Litigation, Class Action and Mass Tort Litigation, Arbitration, Probate Litigation, Securities Fraud, and eDiscovery Services, organized as a single integrated litigation practice rather than discrete business units.

The firm's revenue model is professional services billing against complex commercial, securities, and class action matters, with quote-based engagement fees that are not publicly disclosed. GTM is direct enterprise field sales to corporations, shareholders, executives, investors, Fortune 500 companies, and government entities, supplemented by thought-leadership content (a website insights blog, attorney profile pages, published case results) and earned media through repeated Tier 1 rankings from Best Lawyers, Chambers and Partners, Super Lawyers, DBusiness, and other regional legal directories. Distribution is delivered through the two Michigan offices and court appearances in Michigan state and federal courts, with national reach on select class action matters via court appointment and co-counsel relationships.

The firm has been appointed as lead or co-lead counsel in high-stakes matters including Powell v. General Motors LLC (nationwide class action, E.D. Mich.), the $150 million Chevrolet Bolt settlement (E.D. Mich.), the $54 million Wolverine/3M PFAS settlement (W.D.
