TYLER, Texas — An East Texas attorney and personal injury lawyer has died after over 30 years practicing law.
Keith Miller, a personal injury lawyer and owner of the Law Office Of Keith Miller in Tyler, died Friday. Miller was a Tyler native and attended Tyler Junior College before graduating from North Texas State University in Denton in 1980.
His decades-long career includes work as an investigator and law clerk for Erksine, Smith & McMahon and two years as an adjuster for State Farm before entering law school and becoming a licensed attorney in 1990, when he began practicing in East Texas.
Miller's law office on 100 Ferguson St. in Tyler will remain open, and is under management by attorney Shane McGuire.
“Keith was a legend in the legal field,” McGuire said. “It was an honor to work alongside him on hundreds of cases. I will greatly miss our conversations, not just about legal strategy but about life. My family and I are deeply saddened by this loss.”
Representatives from Miller’s office will contact every client in the coming days to update them on their cases, Miller's law office said. Clients with immediate concerns or inquiries should contact the office at 903-597-4090.
Visitation for Miller will be held Friday, Sept. 20 at 10 a.m., with services starting at 11 a.m. Both visitation and service will be held at Jackson's Burks-Walker-Tippit Funeral Home in Tyler.
