Jim Miller and Taylor Turville Recognized by Northern California Super Lawyers

On Behalf of | Aug 5, 2024 | Firm News

Super Lawyers of Northern California has once again selected Powers Miller attorneys to be awarded the 2024 Super Lawyer distinction.  There were only 18 lawyers selected as Super Lawyers or Rising Stars for personal injury defense in the Northern California area.

Jim Miller continued as a Super Lawyer in the area of personal injury defense.  He is one of only three lawyers in the Sacramento area selected in the practice area of personal injury defense.  Jim is a founding partner of Powers Miller and besides being selected a Super Lawyer for a third year in a row, has been a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates since 2016, a member of the Trucking Industry Defense Association since 2005 and a member of the Association of Defense Counsel of Northern California & Nevada since 1997.  In addition to his trial experience, Jim has also argued cases in front of the California Court of Appeals resulting in three published decisions.

Taylor Turville is one of three lawyers in the Sacramento area identified as a Rising Star in the area of personal injury defense.  Super Lawyers gives the annual Rising Star designation to lawyers under 40 years of age or who have fewer than 10 years in practice and demonstrate outstanding career accomplishments.  She was also as Rising Star in 2023.  Taylor joined Powers Miller in 2019 and began her career working primarily with Jim on large exposure multi-party litigation matters.  She has continued to represent insurance company insureds in third-party cases as well as insurance companies in underinsured and uninsured motorist actions as lead counsel.  Furthermore, she has argued cases in the Court of Appeal with great success.

Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive a Super Lawyer honor. The annual selections are made using a multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area. The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.
