Meet Scott Miller

Attorney Scott Miller has been a criminal defense lawyer in Sarasota and Bradenton since 1995. He originally began his career in 1993 as an assistant public defender in North Florida, but relocated to Bradenton after accepting a position with the State Attorney’s Office as an assistant prosecutor here in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit. Unlike most criminal attorneys, Mr. Miller gained very valuable experience practicing both sides of the courtroom before ever entering private practice.

Mr. Miller opened his own law practice in 1997, and has been vigorously defending his clients ever since. He has defended his clients through countless jury trials, suppression hearings, motions to dismiss, sentencing hearings, appeals, and various evidentiary proceedings. Mr. Miller is a sole practitioner and along with his paralegal, Holly, are the only two people that his clients directly communicate with during his representation. Mr. Miller makes himself very accessible to his clients because he knows how stressful it is to be charged with a crime.

Mr. Miller is licensed to practice before all Florida courts, including the Supreme Court of Florida, He is also licensed to practice before all three Florida federal courts. These are the Northern, Middle, and Southern District Courts of Florida.

Mr. Miller and his wife met while attending Florida State University as undergraduates. They married after he graduated law school, and currently reside in Bradenton. Mr. Miller’s wife received her degree in Elementary Education and taught school in Manatee County. They have raised four beautiful children, three boys and a girl. Their oldest attends Boston College School of Law. Their second oldest attends FSU studying Marketing, but is currently taking flying lessons because she wants to be an airline pilot.
