Core Practice Areas
Our Philosophy
We don’t just fight cases — we define what justice means for each client. Every case is built on a foundation of understanding, preparation, and insight. Whether in criminal defense, education law, or victim representation, our approach recognizes that justice requires both courage and context.
What stood out most was how quickly Miiko understood my situation. She moved fast, kept me informed, and got me through one of the hardest moments of my life."
"Miiko made a stressful situation feel manageable. She listened, answered every question, and I could tell her reputation carried weight with the judge, which gave me a lot of peace of mind."
"I reached out to Miiko before anything was officially filed, and she stepped in right away. She gave the prosecutors important context and pointed out things in the investigation that hadn’t been seen yet. In the end, they declined to file charges — all before it ever became a case."
