About The Firm

TRIAL AND APPELLATE LAWYERS

Miller Barondess, LLP was founded in 2006 by renowned trial lawyer Skip Miller, along with his sons, Dan and Jim, and partners Mark Barondess and Sasha Frid. Built on a foundation of tenacity, skill, and proven courtroom success, the firm quickly established itself as a powerhouse in high-stakes, high-profile commercial litigation.

Today, with 50 attorneys—including 10 equity partners—Miller Barondess combines the resources of a top-tier firm with the personalized service of a boutique practice. Representing both plaintiffs and defendants in complex, bet-the-company disputes, the firm is known for its aggressive advocacy, strategic counsel, and ability to deliver results when the stakes are highest.

Based in Los Angeles, Miller Barondess litigates across California and nationwide in industries spanning intellectual property, technology, cybersecurity, real estate, healthcare, entertainment, sports, consumer products, insurance, retail, environmental, securities, private equity, financial services, and government. Frequently called upon to “save the day” before trial or on appeal, the firm is the trusted choice for clients and law firms seeking a formidable trial or appellate team.

THE MILLER BARONDESS APPROACH

Miller Barondess handles all types of litigation and has achieved success at every stage—from early dismissal and defeating case-dispositive injunctions to winning summary judgment, prevailing in jury and bench trials, and securing victories on appeal.

Our attorneys work collaboratively in dedicated teams from beginning to end, ensuring personalized, consistent, and cost-effective representation. Clients benefit from our hands-on approach and strong, ongoing relationships, with every matter supported by the collective experience and skill of our entire firm.

We take pride in our creative, results-driven problem-solving approach. In one high-stakes mediation, for example, we prepared the case as if for trial and delivered opening and closing arguments to the mediator and opposing counsel. This innovative strategy secured substantial settlements before discovery even began.
