About Mia S
Mia S. McPherson built a legal trail that began in the study room and moved shortly into courtrooms. She earned a bachelor’s diploma in sociology from Purdue University in 1995 and completed her law degree at DePaul College of Law in 1998. Those years set the framework for a practice grounded in public service and court work.
Her first role after law school was as an assistant public defender in DuPage County. She took on that position in 1998 and spent her early years taking on cases for clients who could not have the funds for private counsel. The work shaped her court instincts and gave her sustained exposure to trial practice. In 2004 she shifted to personal practice as a body of workers lawyer at an Elmhurst regulation office, gaining experience on the other side of the case dossier and broadening her procedural and client-handling abilities.
In 2009 she opened her own company, The Law Offices of Mia S. McPherson, P.C. Running a small practice required juggling casework, client relations and the every day business of a law workplace. Seven years later she joined McPherson Harry & Associates, P.C. as a companion in 2016, combining solo-practice knowledge with a bigger firm platform. That trajectory — public defender, body of workers attorney, solo practitioner and companion — gives her a perspective that spans court-appointed work and personal representation.
McPherson is lively in the nearby legal community. She serves on multiple committees of the DuPage County Bar Association, including criminal regulation, household regulation and nearby government, and participates within the affiliation’s public information and schooling commission. She holds a management role as vice president of the DuPage Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and is a member of the DuPage Justinian Society of Lawyers and the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce. The committee work maintains her related to advancements in felony and family practice and to nearby government problems that typically intersect with courtroom instances.
Her court background and bar affiliation involvement inform the types of matters she handles. Over the years she has returned many times to felony protection work while additionally addressing problems that contact family regulation and municipal things. She operates from The Law Offices of Mia S. McPherson, P.C., and continues to accept things that mirror her years in public defense and private practice.
She practices in Illinois and maintains a lively local presence, focusing her current work on criminal defense and related civil matters.
