Why do family law firms...?

Why do law firms that have relatives in them go by Miller and Miller (for example) rather than The Millers? I am interested to know as I have a friend who is perturbed by the matter.

Law firms list partners. Miller and Miller means there are two Millers as partners. If one left, it would be easy to change it to Miller or Miller and New Name. The Millers does not indicate the number of Millers involved.

Because it would be Miller and Miller each as individuals as part of a partnership or firm.

In our society, Miller and Miller sounds like a law firm or accountants. The Millers sounds like a band.

I think it makes them feel more important to have their name "seperate" other than just the family name put on the sign:)
