Featured Contract Attorney: Joseph Miller




Joseph Miller currently works as a contract attorney in Washington, D.C., and is the founder of JDWired.com.

Before becoming a lawyer, he worked in advertising sales, production, and music research at New York City radio stations, including New York’s legendary WQXR-FM, The Classical Station of the New York Times--the oldest radio station in New York City. He also interned at 103.5FM WKTU, 95.5FM WPLJ, and at WQHT (Hot 97), where he also worked part-time while he was still in high school. At the time, he was the youngest person working in New York City radio. He is also a trained musician. Before college, he attended the Mannes Conservatory Preparatory School and the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School for Music and Art and the Performing Arts, which was popularized by the "Fame" television show, film, and Broadway show. He earned a B.S. in Mass Communications, with Concentration in Music and Minor in Business Administration, from the State University of New York College at Plattsburgh, where he worked as a Resident Advisor, Jazz Ensemble Pianist, and Program Director of the college radio station. At Plattsburgh, he was inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa, The National Leadership Honor Society.

He attended the New York Law School at night while, during the day, he worked in various administrative positions at the McGraw-Hill Companies. While in law school, he served as an editor of that law school's Media Law & Policy journal. Upon obtaining his Juris Doctorate, he worked in advertising sales at CBS-TV in New York, from 2003-2004. He then went to work for Pace University, from 2004-2005, where he served as the Assistant Director of Pace’s business incubator program.

Joe moved to the Washington, D.C. area in 2005 where he held a one-year fellowship with the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council. He is admitted to practice law in New York. Originally from New York City, he now lives in the Washington, D.C. area.

Disclosure: 90% of that I took from Joe's linkedin.com site. I really like what he is doing with jdwired.com. I encourage everyone to check out the site.
