OC Former Deputy District Attorney Protecting Your Rights in California Criminal & Family Courts

Assertive and Knowledgeable Orange County Former Prosecutor

Through careful negotiation and strategic legal maneuvers, I am dedicated to protecting my clients from day one of our representation. My goal is to save you time, money, and emotional stress by avoiding litigation whenever possible. I work tirelessly to resolve cases outside the courtroom, but if the situation demands it and the other side remains uncooperative, I am prepared to leverage my trial experience to vigorously defend your rights and privacy.

The Intersection of Family Law & Criminal Law: your customized Mitigation Plan
What Do I Need to Know?

A criminal defense attorney can help protect your future by:

  1. Defending you against criminal charges while safeguarding your family law interests, ensuring that what happens in criminal court does not unfairly impact custody, visitation, or support.

  2. Advising you on what to say, and what not to say, to law enforcement and opposing parties, helping you avoid statements that could be used against you in either court.

  3. Challenging evidence and procedural errors, including unlawful searches, improper arrests, or unreliable witness statements.

  4. Negotiating with prosecutors and opposing counsel to seek reduced charges, alternative sentencing, or resolutions that minimize long-term consequences.

  5. Representing you forcefully in court, presenting strong legal arguments and protecting your constitutional rights at every stage of the case.

  6. Developing a coordinated legal strategy for both criminal and family matters, so your defense is consistent, effective, and focused on your long-term goals.

The outcome of your Family and/or Criminal Law cases will affect the rest of your life, especially when criminal charges are also in play, so it is important to have an attorney who understands the Criminal and Family Law Court systems. At the Newport Beach office of Tracy Catherine Miller, I will aggressively stand up for your rights and work hard to achieve your goals in negotiation or in the courtroom.

If you are looking for a former Prosecutor with experience as a liaison between the Criminal and Family Law Courts in California, call 949-429-8098, or contact me online to schedule a initial consultation. I will listen to your concerns and give you my honest legal opinion about the options that are available to you.
I have extensive experience guiding my clients through the Criminal and Family Law systems regarding a variety of legal matters, including:
  • Domestic violence restraining orders (defense & for protection)
  • Child Custody related to FC Section 3044 Mitigation plans and working as a liaison with your Family Law lawyer when criminal charges are being considered or filed
  • Paternity with domestic violence issues
  • Child Support issues relating to domestic violence
  • Alimony (spousal support) with domestic violence convictions
  • Divorce with domestic violence allegations
  • Contempt of court actions
  • Dependency/Juvenile Matters
Through negotiation, I am often able to save my clients time, money and emotional stress by avoiding litigation. I work to resolve cases without going into the courtroom. However, if the other side will not be reasonable or if no agreement can be reached, I will put my trial experience to work for you and fight to protect your rights.

I have extensive experience helping clients who are worried about losing their children and professional license because of domestic violence accusations. The consequences of these accusations are far reaching and can seriously impact your life. As a Deputy District Attorney, I worked in the Domestic Violence Vertical Unit. I use this prosecution experience to anticipate the other side’s arguments against my clients and provide a strong defense against these charges.

How My Legal Services Stand Out

As an experienced Newport Beach attorney for domestic violence and beyond, I have worked on cases from all different sides. I have significant experience in working in this field both as a law clerk and as an attorney. My prior experience includes working as a prosecutor in the Domestic Violence Vertical Unit as a Felony Deputy District Attorney, where I received insight into handling restraining order matters from both the prosecution and defendant’s side. Mitigation plans are key to resolving these matters in a way that is often cost effective, or if not, we take time and effort to help restore proper boundaries within families whom participate in plans with mental health and other professionals. I now apply the knowledge I gained as a former domestic violence prosecutor to defend against damaging allegations, criminal charges, or help clients, their families, and children find relief by suggesting services and support in concert with our representation.
