Nevada State Bar hearing panelist, dog choker, wife beater, and common drunk Ed Miley, Esq. We recently posted about the arrest of Vegas criminal defense lawyer Ed Miley for getting white-trash-drunk, choking the family dog, assaulting his wife, then discharging a firearm into the backyard (pretty much in that order)—our angle being the irony of the beaten spouse being Judge Stephanie Miley, the Vegas jurist who was voted in last year to replace disgraced (and later defrocked) Vegas Judge Elizabeth Halverson, whose husband also beat the 425-500 pound former jurist that everyone loves to hate.

“[Mr. Miley] is well versed in how his profession deals with a lawyer who, like himself, winds up being charged with crimes.
“It turns out that for the past 12 years, Miley — who’s facing felony and misdemeanor charges stemming from an Oct. 1 altercation with his wife of 12 years, District Judge Stefany Miley — has been a member of the State Bar’s local disciplinary board.
“He’s among a pool of 49 lawyers in Southern Nevada who are called upon from time to time to hand out punishments to their colleagues who have run afoul of the standards of their profession.”
