Joseph A. Miller

Workers' Compensation Attorney

When someone’s been hurt on the job or in an accident, they’re not just dealing with pain—they’re facing fear, lost income, and uncertainty. My role is to lift that weight, to make sure they’re heard, and to fight like crazy so they don’t have to face it alone.

With over 30 years of experience fighting for the rights of injured workers and accident victims, Attorney Joe Miller has built a career defined by aggressive advocacy, deep legal knowledge, and a commitment to personalized care.

Before joining Rutter Mills, Joe led his own successful practice—Joe Miller Injury Law—where he became known throughout Virginia and North Carolina for helping hardworking people recover after devastating workplace injuries and serious accidents. His approach combines sharp legal insight with the understanding that behind every case is a real person facing real challenges.

“My job is to stand up for people when they’re at their most vulnerable—after an accident, injury, or wrongful denial. I don’t just work cases. I work for people.”

Joe is particularly recognized for his experience in Virginia and North Carolina Workers’ Compensation law, including complex cases involving denied claims, catastrophic injuries, and long-term disability. Over the decades, he’s helped thousands of clients get the benefits, settlements, and justice they deserve. He also brings extensive experience in personal injury claims, including auto accidents, wrongful death, and traumatic brain injuries.

Why Joe Miller Stands Out:

  • More than 30 years of legal experience

  • Licensed in both Virginia and North Carolina

  • Proven results in workers’ compensation and serious injury cases

  • Track record of maximizing benefits and settlements

  • Known for clear communication and relentless client advocacy

Joe understands how overwhelming it can be to go up against employers, insurance companies, or large corporations. That’s why he fights to level the playing field—so everyday people have a powerful voice in their corner.

A Record of Real Results

Joe Miller’s work speaks for itself. Over the course of his career, he’s secured millions of dollars in compensation for injured workers and accident victims across Virginia and North Carolina. From complex workers’ compensation claims to serious personal injury cases, Joe consistently delivers outcomes that help his clients move forward with dignity and financial stability. Now as part of the Rutter Mills team, Joe brings that same results-driven advocacy to every case he handles—because when your health, livelihood, and future are on the line, results matter.

Getting in an accident and losing my car was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Rutter Mills made the experience so much easier as the handled everything and kept in constant communication. I always knew where I was in the process. When I contacted them the responded within minutes and when I told them about my incident, they took the case. I would highly recommend them if you need a lawyer or even if you are not sure if a lawyer fits your needs, contact them and tell them what happened.
