Kevin D. Mills is the founding attorney of The Criminal Law Center and has been practicing in the area of criminal defense for his entire 30+ year career. After obtaining his Commonwealth of Virginia general education degree (GED), he received degrees from Radford College (BA) and the West Virginia University College of Law (JD). While in law school he served an 18 month internship with United States Justice Department working at the Kennedy Correctional Center in Morgantown, West Virginia. After graduation, he learned the practice of criminal law working as an associate with attorneys John Flowers Mark, William B. Moffitt, and Nina Ginsberg in the Alexandria, Virginia, firm Mark and Moffitt. In 1989, he accepted a position as a public defender in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and continued concentrating his law practice in the area of criminal defense. In 1991, he founded Kevin D. Mills and Associates, PLLC, which is still today the entity that guides and owns The Criminal Law Center. Having concentrated his practice in criminal defense law since law school and throughout his career, he has tried over 50 jury trials. His benchmark case was a homicide first-degree murder case where it was alleged that the decedent was shot five times in the back by Mills’ client. The State of West Virginia called renowned forensic scientist Henry Lee among many other witnesses. Mills’s cross examination of Henry Lee was key in the jury’s return of a not guilty verdict in less than two hours. Mills has handled a variety of other jury and bench trials as well as thousands of criminal cases involving DUI and driving offenses, sexual offenses, white-collar offenses, and crimes of violence, as well as winning acquittals in each of these areas of the criminal law. Kevin was born in Queens, New York, and grew up on a variety of Marine Corps bases on the East Coast as the son of a U.S. Marine Corps family. He is a grateful father of four, married to the love of his life Laura Lee Mills for the past 23 years, and is happily sharing time with her and his children between Martinsburg, West Virginia, and the nearest beach.
