Katherine
Miller , Esq.
Katherine Eisold Miller began practicing in the area of family law in 1988. Since the very beginning of her matrimonial practice, she felt there had to be a better way. Litigation was such a poor fit with the structure and purpose of the family unit that it rarely served divorcing couples and their children. She found that not only were divorce proceedings sometimes very long and expensive but that during the course of them, the parties often grew to hate each other.
She was trained in mediation in 1991 and again in 1998. She mediated a few matters in the early years, but found great success applying the mediation techniques to litigation settlement negotiations. As the number of cases Katherine mediated grew, she found herself frustrated that many couples were unwilling or unable to mediate for one reason or another, yet had no other mode of alternative dispute resolution. Those families were forced into the litigation process even though they really did not want or need to be there. When Collaborative Law came along, it seemed like a natural fit to Katherine.
Katherine Eisold Miller has offices in Westchester County and sees clients in New York City as well.
Katherine grew up in New York City and graduated from Vassar College in 1982 and from Fordham University Law School in 1986. She is admitted to the bars of New York and Connecticut. She litigated a number of cases before recently giving up that model. She has lectured on Child welfare litigation, child abuse reporting requirements, alternative dispute resolution in family matters and elder law,
Katherine has been married and divorced and remarried. She has two children from her first marriage and one from her second, in addition to two stepchildren. She uses these personal experiences in her practice to help people acknowledge the difficulty of the divorce process regardless of model and to affirm their feelings of rage, sadness, fear, relief, etc. In addition to the matrimonial practice, Katherine also did a decade of child welfare litigation in the Family Courts of New York City which also helped her develop a regard and respect for the family in a variety of forms.
