Samantha Miller – Principal Family Lawyer
Trusted Newcastle Family Lawyer with Over 20 Years’ Experience
Samantha Miller is a highly experienced family lawyer based in Newcastle, with a legal career spanning more than two decades. Admitted as a solicitor in both Australia and the UK, Samantha brings local insight and international experience to her role as Principal at Clarity Lawyers.
Law is in Samantha’s blood – she is the fifth generation in her family to practise law in Newcastle, following in the footsteps of her father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather, all of whom worked at Harris Wheeler Lawyers (which later merged with Hall & Wilcox in 2017).
After graduating from Merewether High School, Samantha completed a combined Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws at the University of Newcastle. She was admitted as a solicitor in NSW in 2001 and shortly after, in 2002, was admitted as a solicitor in England and Wales. While working at top-tier firms in London, Samantha gained experience across a broad range of legal areas before choosing to specialise in family law – a decision that has shaped her career ever since.
Samantha went on to practise in a boutique family law firm in Surrey, where she developed practical, hands-on experience and a client-centred approach that remains at the heart of her practice today. After taking extended time to raise her young family, she returned to Newcastle in 2016, following a year-long European adventure with her husband and three children in their VW campervan “Connie”.
Since her return, Samantha has completed a Master of Applied Law (Family Law) and established Clarity Lawyers, where she leads a team committed to guiding clients through separation, parenting arrangements, property settlements and all aspects of family law.
Samantha is known for her empathy, strategic thinking, and unwavering commitment to helping clients navigate one of the most difficult times in their lives – and move forward with clarity and confidence.
