Spotlight Attorney - Kurt Miller

What's your favorite part of working at Childers Hewett Slagle?

My favorite part of working at CHS is the overall culture and commitment to work-life balance.  We work as a team to get projects done for our clients as quickly and efficiently as possible, but the Partners understand that personal things come up in life that take priority as well.

What are some career lessons you've learned thus far?

Staying in constant communication with the client from start to finish is the best way to ensure everyone is happy at the end of a project.

You want to under-promise and over-deliver (as opposed to the opposite) to manage client expectations effectively.

What do you do at our firm?

As a Senior Associate, I stay in constant communication with the Partners and our clients, while also coordinating with the younger associates to train them and answer any questions they have. 

What’s one thing on your bucket list?

Greek island cruise

What does a typical day look like for you?

I get my son ready and take him to school (always fun!), and since I start a little later, I work a little later into the evenings.

Are you a sports fan? Who are your favorite teams?

Longhorns and Cowboys – it’s a humbling experience.

What show are you currently binge-watching?

Yellowstone

What’s your favorite holiday?

Christmas

Why did you decide to pursue the career you have today?

I have always been interested in oil and gas, and the way we assist our clients gives me the opportunity to learn and grow with their businesses as well. 

What’s your favorite movie?

Old School
