✨ Employee Highlight: Janalee (Jan) Boroff Miller ✨

Meet Jan, one of the Legal Assistants at MHPS. Jan joined our firm after several years in the nonprofit sector, where she worked in program development, management and evaluation. She is a founding member of and served on the board of the Lite Foot Environmental Foundation in Savannah, GA from 2023-2025.

Outside of MHPS, Jan owns a small flower farm in Bells Bend called Freckle Farms and volunteers weekly at Old School Farm, a nonprofit care farm in Bells Bend that provides supportive employment for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

She’s an avid gardener and loves hiking, traveling, cooking, baking, yoga, embroidery, and reading. She’s been married to her husband, Kyle, for 12 years and they have a dog named Reggie Miller. She loves ice cream, British comedians, and considers "Humankind: A Hopeful History" by Rutger Bregman to be one of her favorite books.

✨ Employee Highlight: Sean Martin ✨

With 26 years of family law experience in Middle Tennessee, Sean Martin has tried, mediated, and negotiated nearly every type of case. After starting his career with a judicial clerkship in Davidson County, he’s spent decades “in the trenches” where he honed his talent for negotiation and delivering results when the stakes are high.

Outside the office, Sean enjoys fishing, camping, and cooking with his wife, Leslie, and their son, Ferris. They even create videos together for Ferris’s YouTube channel and are big fans of Phish.

His favorite book is The Great Gatsby and his favorite foods are hot dogs topped with sauerkraut or chili!

Fun facts: Sean can juggle, won a chili cook-off judged by Mike Vrabel, and he lives by this advice: Schedule time off. Future you will thank past you.

Sean says he’s most proud of his family. We’re proud to have him on our team!

p.s. enjoy a throw-back of Sean in college at the end of the slideshow 🎓

Last week, the 2026 TBA Leadership Law (TBALL) class met in Memphis to tour St. Jude, meet with Sara Hall, chief legal officer and general counsel at ALSAC, and hear first-hand from University of Memphis School of Law Professor Daniel Kiel and the Memphis 13 – the African American first-graders who integrated four all-white Memphis elementary schools in 1961.

We are especially proud of our partner, John Wilks, who is serving as TBALL Committee Co-Chair and leading this year’s program, representing MHPS Law and investing in the next generation of leaders in our profession.

Way to go, John! 🙌
