Joe Miller is known for his high integrity, sense of humor, and fierce advocacy for public policies that allow everyone to establish their own profitable media company. 

 

After over 25 years as a broadcaster, public policy advocate, nonprofit executive, social entrepreneur, and e-discovery attorney, Joe founded his law firm in 2024 to help his clients solve real problems that directly impact their families and livelihoods.

​

In 2014, Joe founded The Washington Center for Technology Policy Inclusion (WashingTECH) -- the nation's first media platform focused exclusively on amplifying the diverse viewpoints of technology public policymaking experts outside Washington, DC.  He served as the organization's first President & CEO from 2014-2023. While he was building WashingTech, Joe led e-discovery teams at every large telecommunications, media, and technology law firm in Washington, D.C.

 

Leveraging a previous career in broadcast advertising sales and programming at New York's Hot 97, CBS, and WQXR-FM, New York's Classical Music Radio Station (then-owned by the New York Times) Joe launched the Tech Policy Leaders podcast in 2015 -- the world's first technology law & policy podcast. In 2019, Joe was recognized as a 'Media Trailblazer' at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

​

Immediately before founding WashingTECH, Joe served as Deputy Director and Senior Policy Director of the Media and Technology Institute at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies--America's Black Think Tank. Previously, Joe was a Fellow with the Multicultural Media, Telecom & Internet Council. In these two roles, he advocated on Capitol Hill and before the Federal Communications Commission for underrepresented communities struggling to access broadband. In 2024, Joe joined the District of Columbia Bar's John Payton Leadership Academy.

From 2019-2023, Joe served on the Advisory Council of the Center for Democracy & Technology. He has also served on the board of the Progress Chamber and as a Co-Chair of the Emerging Technology Committee of the Federal Communications Bar Association. In 2019, Jesse Jackson awarded Joe the Rainbow Push Coalition's Media & Technology Inspiring Leaders Award.

 

Joe is admitted to practice law in New York, the District of Columbia, and before the United States Supreme Court. He is a proud alumnus of the State University of New York, Plattsburgh, from which he graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Science in Digital Media Management & Production, Concentration in Music, and a Minor in Business Administration, where he was an Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society inductee. He earned his Juris Doctor from New York Law School, which he attended at night, where he served as an editor of Media Law & Policy -- the law school's Media Law & Policy Journal.

 

Joe is also an alumnus of the renowned Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art & the Performing Arts at New York's Lincoln Center, on which the "Fame!" Broadway musical, film, and tv series are based. He majored in music there, studying jazz performance and composition under Jazz Education Hall of Fame member Justin DiCioccio, within the first accredited secondary jazz program in the United States. Joe's fellow LaGuardia alums include Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Jennifer Aniston, Vanessa Williams, Hilton Als, Michael Che,  Sarah Paulson, Adrien Brody, Murray Perahia, Pinchas Zuckerman, Omar Epps, Marlon Wayans, and Timothée Chalamet.

​

A native of Manhattan's Upper West Side, Joe resides with his wife and two daughters in Northern Virginia. There, he advocates locally for equity in Fairfax County's Public Schools, serving on the Superintendent's Boundary Advisory Council as one of 48 volunteers selected among 1,600 applicants to help implement Fairfax County's school boundary policy, which the school board recently revised for the first time since 1984.
