Willow Street is a growing community in southern Lancaster County, sitting just off Route 222 with easy access to Lancaster City and the surrounding townships. It’s a place where working families, small business owners, and long-time residents have built something worth protecting. When a criminal charge or a family legal matter threatens that, you need an attorney who knows Lancaster County inside and out.
Miller Lyden, P.C., has been practicing in this county for over 25 years. We know the courthouse, the court staff, and how cases are handled here. We also give every client our personal contact information so you can reach us directly when something comes up. That’s not standard practice at most firms. It is here.
Being charged with a crime in Lancaster County puts your job, your freedom, and your reputation at risk all at once. At Miller Lyden, P.C., Attorney Cory Miller spent years as a prosecutor before switching sides. That background gives us a clear view of how the other side builds its case and where it can be challenged. From your first call, we’ll give you an honest picture of your situation and a real plan for fighting it.
Family legal matters hit differently than other cases. The people involved aren’t strangers, and the decisions made in court follow everyone home.

We take the time to understand what matters most to you before we start talking, because the right outcome for your family depends on understanding your family first.
A DUI stop along Route 222 or anywhere in southern Lancaster County can have consequences that reach far beyond that night. License suspension, fines, potential incarceration, and a mark on your record that affects future employment. Our attorneys review every aspect of the stop and arrest. Field sobriety tests, breathalyzer calibration, and officer conduct. If the process wasn’t followed correctly, we will find it and use it.
A homicide charge is unlike any other. The legal complexity is significant, the public pressure is real, and the consequences of inadequate representation are permanent. Miller Lyden takes on these cases with the full weight they demand: thorough investigation, detailed review of the evidence, and a defense built from the ground up around what actually happened. This is not the kind of case to hand to an attorney who isn’t fully prepared to fight.
Drug charges in Lancaster County range widely in severity, but even lower-level offenses can carry lasting consequences. Our attorneys examine how evidence was obtained, whether the search and seizure were lawful, and whether law enforcement followed proper procedure throughout. When they didn’t, we challenged it. We also explore every available option, including diversion programs and negotiated reductions, to achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.
A charge against a young person is not just a legal matter. It’s a defining moment, and how it’s handled can affect their education, their record, and their options for years to come. Miller Lyden’s attorneys know how the juvenile system works in Lancaster County and how to advocate effectively within it. We work alongside families every step of the way and fight for outcomes that leave room for a young person to move forward.
Pennsylvania custody law gives courts broad discretion, and the outcome of a custody case depends heavily on how the case is presented.

We don’t treat custody cases as routine, because they aren’t. Every family’s situation is different, and our approach reflects that.
Getting child support right matters for everyone involved, especially the child.
