Scott Miller is the attorney you want to represent you should you have the unfortunate situation that calls for one. Not to go into all the details of the case, but I 'Thank God' I chose Scott Miller! Whether you are accused wrongly or not, you need an attorney who is experienced, cares, and understands how important details are. He was professional in the courtroom, clearly did review all the details and was able to present with confidence and respect to all participants. I was impressed, and very grateful! Scott is the best attorney in his field in our town! Would I recommend him? Yes, with no hesitation! Call him today, if you are looking. He will do his best for you!
Annie Ahlers
Charges Dropped, Highly Recommend
Scott's a great lawyer, and the outcome of my case was more than I could have asked for. He went toe to toe with a state's attorney for me and helped them realize that this was something that was not my fault and completely out of my control. The process took a while, but in the end, my charges were dropped in exchange for a few hours of community service. I would definitely recommend Scott to anyone that's in a tight spot.
Greg Shaffer
All charges dismissed!

Ryan Calvin
Amazing job in son's case
Scott worked and performed an amazing job in turning my son's case in our favor resulting in a good outcome. Throughout the process, communication with him and his office was great. Scott was always prepared and available and Holly was also super helpful, kept on top of things. Thank you Scott!
Bert Bacso
One of the best qualified attorneys
Undeniably, one of the best qualified attorneys I and my adult son had the pleasure to hire. Scott handled 2 cases with professionalism, experience, dedication, and patience. My adult son cleared of a difficult case which went to trial. Then, took on VOP charges in another county, which resulted in the best case scenario. If you're looking for an attorney that can handle difficult criminal cases, you found him. Scott had to face new issues with patience and dedication. He always treated us with kindness. No matter how difficult the cases became. Communication and response with Scott and Holly in the office was always easy and prompt. God has blessed us.
Mona Andrews
Driver's Violation Dismissed
Scott got my driver's moving violation dismissed. Great result and Scott took his time to explain everything about how he would work the case!
Alex Clark
Scott kept fighting for a better deal
Scott is such a great guy! His love for his clients is genuine, and with that being said, he is an amazing fighter as well! The prosecutor was trying to give me 9 months, and Scott would not accept that deal! He kept fighting and pushing for a better deal and he got four months knocked off and also got me an extra month of time served credit towards my Sarasota case. He was also nice enough to drive an hour away to represent me in my Port Charlotte case as well. Another important thing that I want to mention is that when you call him, he will call you back that same day. That means a lot to not only me but my family who was worried about my situation. Alot of these attorneys do not do that because all they cared about was getting your money. If you need a great attorney, give Scott a call and have him represent you! You will not regret it!
Robert Barboza
I highly recommend him
Mr. Miller called me back the same day and took the time to listen to my issue. He advised me accordingly and in a way I understood for the best outcome. Very thankful he was there to help. I highly recommend him.
Lynne Lumsden
Scott and Holly were incredible
Scott and Holly were both incredible to me. They understood what I wanted and helped me get the outcome I wanted. Communicating with them was simple, and it was super easy to reach them.

Dropped1st Appearance
MM 5979: Mr. Miller was contacted at approximately midnight to represent a client scheduled for 1st Appearance the next day. 1st Appearance is the first time an arrested individual appears before a Judge for the purpose of determining the bond to be posted before the arrested individual is released from jail. Mr. Miller’s client was released without being required to post a monetary amount. Mr. Miller then proceeded to represent his client in Court and announced he was ready for trial. At the mandatory docket sounding hearing just before trial, the prosecutor revoked any previous offers made to resolve the case and announced she was ready to try the case. Within just a few days of trying the case before a jury, the prosecutor dropped the case without any real explanation to Defense Counsel or the presiding judge.
2013 Felonies
Charge Reduced1st Degree Felony Drug Trafficking charge
CF 3212: Mr. Miller's client is related to another client in case 2013 CF 3207. Because the facts were identical and a conflict of interest did not exist, Mr. Miller agreed to represent his client and help her avoid prison. 1st Degree Felony Drug Trafficking charge requiring long time day for day prison sentence reduced to third-degree felony charge, allowing Mr. Miller's client to received straight probation without any incarceration. Just like the other case, Mr. Miller's client was originally arrested and charged by Information with Drug Trafficking. Because the bond was too high for the client to bond out, Mr. Miller immediately requested a hearing before the Court to release his client from jail. After the client was released, Mr. Miller began to prepare a defense to present to a jury. After Mr. Miller announced to the Court that he was ready and set to try the case, the prosecutor contacted Mr. Miller and offered to reduce the charge to something much more appropriate and in line with the facts of the case. The client is home, working, and back with her family.

2012 Felonies
2012 CF 1875
2010 Felonies
No Charges FiledAggravated Assault
CF 4696: Criminal Defense Trial Attorney Scott Miller was retained to represent his client arrested for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. This particular charge had to do with a road rage incident where the arresting police officer decided to believe one person over the other without any independent proof or evidence to establish probable cause that a crime was committed. Attorney Scott Miller contacted the assigned prosecutor and provided important information lacking in the police reports. Mr. Miller's client was never formally charged with a crime, and the client never needed to attend court.
2012 Felonies
Charge ReducedAggravated Assault and Battery
2012: The client was arrested and charged by Information with Aggravated Assault and Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, both serious felonies. The client originally retained another criminal defense attorney to handle the case, but became very unhappy with his representation. Mr. Miller took over the case from the previous attorney and immeditely began defending his client. Mr. Miller prepared the case for trial. As the case grew closer to the trial date, the prosecutor dropped the Aggravated Battery charge altogether and reduced the remaing felony to a misdemeanor. The judge withheld adjudication and the client was never convicted of a criminal charge.

In some states, a first offense DUI can be expunged from your record. Expungement is not available in every jurisdiction and often depends on completing all court-ordered requirements, such as fines and probation. Consulting with a legal professional can help determine eligibility.
How will a first offense DUI affect my insurance?
A first offense DUI usually leads to higher insurance premiums due to increased risk. Insurance companies may require you to file an SR-22 form, which provides proof of insurance coverage. This increase can last for several years, depending on your insurer and state laws.
Will I lose my license after a first offense DUI?
License suspension is a common consequence of a first offense DUI. The duration can vary by state, typically ranging from a few months to a year. In some cases, you may be eligible for a restricted license, allowing limited driving privileges.
Can I refuse a breathalyzer test on a first offense DUI?
Refusing a breathalyzer test can have legal consequences, such as an automatic license suspension and increased penalties. Most states have implied consent laws, meaning that by driving, you've agreed to such tests. Consulting with an attorney can help you understand your rights and the implications of refusal.
