PRACTICE AREAS

Personal Injury
Workers’ Compensation
Civil Litigation
Complex Litigation

After winning a National Mock Trial Competition in law school and being admitted to the State Bar of Georgia, Miranda joined Smith, Welch, Webb & White, LLC in 2015 and hit the ground running, trying several successful cases during her first year of practice, including jury trials. Since then, Miranda has built a successful litigation practice specializing in the areas of civil litigation, personal injury, wrongful death, auto accidents, tractor-trailer accidents, premises liability, slip and falls, illness and injuries resulting from exposure to toxic mold, and workers’ compensation. While she loves litigation and trial, Miranda loves helping her clients even more.

Miranda graduated, a semester early, from Faulkner University’s Jones School of Law in December of 2014 with various award and honors, including: National Champion, Florida State University National Mock Trial Tournament, March 2014; Dean’s List; and CALI Award for Best Paper in Advanced Criminal Procedure, Family Law, Remedies, and Family Law. While in College at Kennesaw State University, Miranda served as the Social Chair for Gamma Phi Beta International Sorority, cheered on the Spirit Cheerleading Squad, and competed on the mock trial team.

Miranda is married to Noah Hanley, a civil engineer with Nyloplast in Buford, Georgia. The couple lives in Tucker, Georgia with their son, Lincoln. They also have two dogs, a shih-tzu named Gizmo and a mutt named Zibi, which Miranda rescued from a major highway as a puppy after narrowly missing her. Miranda spends every spare moment with her family and pups, but she also enjoys boating, cooking, and wine tasting.
