We are honored to have Michele Weinstat Miller as our May speaker in our White Collar Support Group™ Tuesday Speaker Series. Open to all!


For those of you who don’t recall, Michele is a lawyer who spoke on our panel at the American Bar Association Criminal Justice Conference in Nov. ’22. She was incarcerated in Rikers and is now the General Counsel of the Fortune Society in NYC. Michele’s new novel, the Lower Power, released in the past few weeks.

The Lower Power is Michele W. Miller’s fourth published novel. She has lived most of her life in Upper Manhattan — Harlem and Washington Heights — where her novels often take place and where she currently resides with her husband, 20-year-old twin sons, two cats, and a large dog. Former chief government ethics prosecutor for NYC, she currently serves as General Counsel for a non-profit agency that provides re-entry services to the formerly incarcerated. She has herself overcome addiction, homelessness, and incarceration. She has a black belt in the Jaribu system of Karate and worked her way through law school dancing on roller skates.

“Michele Miller has had more lives than a cat, and they’ve made her a writer of passion and substance.” — Lawrence Block, New York Times Bestselling Author, Praise For The Author

We are honored to have Michele Weinstat as an upcoming speaker in our White Collar Support Group Tuesday Speaker Series.

Michele Weinstat currently serves as General Counsel at The Fortune Society, a not-for-profit agency serving those impacted by the criminal justice system. In recovery for over 32 years, Michele is herself a formerly incarcerated person, who returned to the practice of law following disbarment due to a drug-related felony conviction. Prior to her time at The Fortune Society and subsequent to her reinstatement, she served as Vice President (Labor Counsel and Ethics Officer) at the New York State Housing Finance Agency, as well as the chief ethics prosecutor for New York City, responsible for enforcing ethics compliance for 300,000 City employees and elected officials.

Michele is also the author of three published novels. Writing under the name Michele W. Miller, Michele has written: “The Thirteenth Step: Zombie Recovery” (a satirical romp through the apocalypse with a group whose addict/alcoholic gene protects them from the zombie virus – http://bit.ly/1yK0Qjx) ( and “Widows-In-Law,” (a first and second wife must get along and find out who killed their husband or die trying. http://bit.ly/2UKCbAP).

Writing as Michele Weinstat Miller, Michele’s newest novel “Gone By Morning,” has received wide critical acclaim. In “Gone By Morning,” two unique women—a City Hall press officer and her previously-incarcerated neighbor—face down dangerous men in the world of New York politics. “Gone by Morning” was named an outstanding mystery/thriller selection by Library Journal. Kirkus Reviews calls it, “Mary Higgins Clark with teeth.” (https://bit.ly/GoneByMorning)

Michele lives in Manhattan with her husband and 19-year-old twins sons (currently off to college), a very large dog, and two needy cats.
