About Us
Comprehensive Representation for Individuals, Families, Businesses, & Professionals in the Mid-Hudson Valley
Sholes Miller Rodriguez & Brown, PLLC was founded in 2000 by Sarah E. Sholes and Robert Irving Miller to serve the legal needs of healthcare professionals and facilities. That focused beginning shaped our early reputation and gave our attorneys a working knowledge of how clinical and administrative decisions are made inside hospitals and nursing homes.
As our clients’ needs grew, so did our practice. What began as a healthcare firm is now a full-service general law firm serving clients throughout the Mid-Hudson Valley. Throughout that growth, our lawyers have upheld the same high standards of integrity, excellence, and professionalism that defined our team from the start.
If you’re navigating a legal matter in Dutchess County, put decades of trial-tested litigation experience in your corner. Contact us online to discuss your case.

Practical Guidance for New York Businesses
Business owners and managers face legal decisions every day. Hiring and training staff, negotiating contracts and leases, reviewing purchase agreements, and selecting insurance coverage can all carry significant legal consequences. Avoiding a legal mistake is far less costly than correcting one after something has gone wrong.
Our business lawyers work personally with owners and managers to build healthy workplace policies, meet regulatory requirements, and handle day-to-day legal matters. When a dispute arises, we represent businesses in negotiations and litigation with a realistic understanding of how the outcome may affect their operations.
Independent Title IX, Title VII, & Article 129-B Investigations for Schools and Non-Profits
Schools and workplaces are subject to strict state and federal rules governing sexual harassment and misconduct. Colleges and non-profit organizations rely on us to meet their obligations under Title IX, Title VII, and New York Education Law Article 129-B. Attorney Miller is a certified Title IX investigator who investigates allegations involving sexual harassment, sexual assault, bullying, and stalking.
We approach these sensitive inquiries with the objectivity and procedural rigor necessary to withstand intense regulatory scrutiny. By utilizing an attorney-led investigator and delivering comprehensive, fact-based findings, we empower administrators, boards, and institutions to make legally sound disciplinary decisions while safeguarding their reputations and the trust of their community.
