Fantastic for my Start Up!

A trusted friend referred me to Gary after being to help with the legal filings for my start up business. He was extremely thorough and informative, ensuring I was taken care of an comfortable with the process. He took responsibility of tasks that seemed quite daunting to do myself. He was a pleasure... to work with, and I will continue to do so for all of my legal filings. Would highly recommend!

Happy with Results

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and the insurance company offered a very minimal settlement offer. Thanks to Gary who was very knowledgeable about the ways of personal injury we settled for far more than I had expected. It was a pleasure working with him and his staff, they were very pol...ite and professional and explained all the steps along with way. I would HIGHLY recommend Gary if you ever need the services of a personal injury attorney.

Positive results from negative circumstances

Mr. Miller came to us by way of recommendation from a public adjuster. Our case involved an insurance company that offered to settle our claim from damages resulting from a collapsed sewer line and subsequent flooding of 1/3 of our small home. Carpeting, base boards, sheetrock in 2 bedrooms, wall a...nd floor tile, base boards, sheetrock, a shower and a tub in 2 separate bathrooms, all compromised by sewer water, brought an offer of $2000 to settle from the insurance company. We hired a public adjuster who helped us enormously and we got another $6000. Our adjuster said we now needed a really good attorney. He suggested we contact Gary L. Miller. We did and it was the best move we could have made. Mr. Miller gained 10's of thousands in settlement for us, and we are now restoring our home properly. Thank you Gary, for restoring our hope.

Thorough and Professional

Gary has helped my family to navigate through a very toxic property damage situation. The insurance company has been impossible to deal with and tried to play down all aspects of the claim. Gary and his team has done an outstanding job at holding the insurance company accountable and reaching a favor...able outcome for us. if you are looking for professional legal representation he is an excellent choice. I hope I don’t need him again, but if I do i know who to call!! Thank you, Gary.

Very knowledgeable and a great trial lawyer!

I consulted with Gary about several personal injury matters. Gary is not only knowledgeable and a fine trial lawyer but he is also down to earth and easy to talk to. I highly recommend him as an attorney.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with (and litigated against) attorneys representing major corporations and both state and federal governments, in forums including a State Supreme Court and a federal Circuit Court of Appeals. Gary Miller is in the top 5% of attorneys with whom I have worked with, observed, or litigated against in my 33 years of legal practice. I had the good fortune to meet and work with Gary early in my career and was immediately impressed by his legal acumen and professionalism. He is able to dissect problems with precision, and focus on the legal issues which are at the core of his clients’ concerns. I was so impressed with his legal talent and sound judgement that I myself have relied on Gary through the years for counsel on legal issues relating to members of my own family. He is a fantastic communicator, and his success as an attorney is witness to his both professional and personal qualities."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Gary L. Miller for over 40 years. He was a class behind mine at Annapolis (where he graduated at the top of his class), we both served in the Marine Corps after graduation, and then we met up again a few years later in law school. We both ended up practicing in Tampa years later, and I've worked with Gary on several personal injury and insurance cases over the past 3 decades. Gary is the most skilled and intelligent civil trial lawyer I know and his negotiating and trial skills are superb. He is one of Florida's Super Lawyers and that is a distinction that sets him above his peers as well. I have referred several clients to Gary in the past three years, and they have been very pleased with the results he obtained for them. I know of no one better or more skilled in personal injury or insurance litigation, and endorse Gary L. Miller without reservation."
