About the Project Team:
M3 Consulting, a successor firm to D.J. Miller & Associates, Inc., is a 2nd generation, minority-owned firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. M3 Consulting conducted the very first disparity study in the United States for Hillsborough County, Florida, in 1988, which correctly anticipated the direction of the U.S. Supreme Court. Since then, M3 Consulting has remained on the cutting edge, creating industry-adopted methodologies and conducting over 140 disparity studies nationwide on the local, state, and federal levels. Known as the "creators" of the disparity study industry, M3 Consulting has over 35 years of experience in inclusive policy initiatives, disparity study analysis, and minority/women-owned business enterprise (M/WBE) program design and development. The firm has conducted disparity studies in 9 of the 11 judicial circuits and engaged in litigation in 5 of the 11 judicial circuits, including the most conservative circuits: 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 11th. The firm is proud of the fact that:
NO M3 Consulting study has ever been overturned
NO M3 Consulting study has been challenged since 1997
