Florida Personal Injury Attorney Joseph “Scott” Miller was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. After graduating from high school in 2002, Scott enlisted fulltime on active duty with the United States Army.   In 2004, Scott was deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom with the prestigious 101st Airborne Division where he was awarded numerous commendations and awards for his bravery in combat.

After completing his tour of duty Scott earned his undergraduate degree with honors in History at the University of South Florida. Next, Scott earned his law degree from Barry School of Law graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Litigation Honors Certificate. In fact, Scott successfully litigated, and won, his first jury trial even before he graduated law school as a Certified Legal Intern working for the 18th Circuit Public Defender’s Office. Additionally, during this time Scott was also a Senior Editor of Barry’s Law Review, an Executive Board Member of the Moot Court team, and a participant in numerous Moot Court competitions across the United States.

Since joining Ron Sholes, P.A. in 2015, Scott has been involved in the resolution of hundreds of personal injury claims, including numerous six and seven figure cases. He takes pride in representing the firm’s clients with the same courage and attention to detail that made him so successful during his military service and law school endeavors. Scott vigorously fights for his clients in all aspects of their claim, whether it is a contested liability auto or premises liability case, or a client with pre-existing injuries. One thing you can be certain of is that Scott handles every client’s case with personal service and aggressive representation to deliver the best possible results. For this reason, Scott has become one of the leaders in the firm and is widely recognized as one of the firm’s rising stars!

If you need to consult with an attorney about an accident or injury claim, do not delay! Investigation and evidence collection are very important, even in a simple rear-end collision case. Remember, insurance companies are NOT your friend. They move quickly on claims to build their own case -- against you! We are available seven days a week and will be happy to discuss your case whenever it is convenient to you, so feel free to contact us anytime. The consultation is always free!

Call the Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A. if you or a loved one have been injured, regardless of whether it is a serious injury or something that may seem minor. Often, what seems like even minor injuries can result in a lifetime of pain and suffering and medical treatment.
