Sander L. Miller

Sander L. Miller, Esq. is the managing attorney of Miller Law.  He has been directly involved with Florida divorce, paternity and other family law matters since 2007; first as a paralegal, then as a lawyer after he was sworn into the Florida Bar.  He attended law school at the Shepherd Broad Law Center at Nova Southeastern University in Broward County, Florida.  While attending law school, he clerked for two Circuit Court Judges in Broward County, Florida; The Honorable Thomas M. Lynch, IV (felony criminal division, then transferred to circuit civil division), and the Honorable Mel Grossman (head of probate division)…both long time members of the bench (25+ years) and highly respected in the South Florida legal community.  Mr. Miller learned invaluable lessons while working behind the scenes; seeing how things really get done and how decisions are actually made.  He understands the inner workings of Florida’s legal system. While he has had exposure to many areas of law and knows how to handle a variety of legal matters, Mr. Miller is particularly adept at analyzing Florida family law cases; especially those involving minor children and significant assets, such as Florida dissolution of marriage, paternity, child support and/or modification cases.  After analyzing the situation, Mr. Miller explains to the client what they’re situation is and what their rights and responsibilities are.  They then discuss the client’s objectives and goals and, most importantly, how realistic those objectives and goals are.  He does not sell people on pipe dreams.  He helps find strategies to deliver a successful outcome for the client while minimizing risk along the way. At Miller Law we are result based and always look at the big picture.  As that comes into focus, coupled with a client’s reasonable desires, a strategy can be formulated.  Critical to this process is the ability to quickly discern new information as it is received, reconcile it to the set of existing facts, and, if necessary, shift strategies on the fly. First and foremost, Mr. Miller listens intently to what the client has to say.  What brings this person to our offices?  What is important to them?  What results are they looking for?  What does the client perceive his or her rights or obligations to be?  Mr. Miller will ask direct and probing questions to analyze the matter so proper guidance can be made.  Sometimes Mr. Miller will even role play as the spouse’s lawyer and will cross examine the individual.  While this may be uncomfortable for the individual, it is a necessary and critical part of the process.  Mr. Miller is able to size up how effective the client will be as a witness should they be called to the stand; he will be able to identify the weak spots of a case and strategize a better course of action moving forward.  At the end of the day, Mr. Miller would rather have his client be uncomfortable answering questions in a room alone with him than while sitting at a deposition table with a court reporter or on the witness stand in front of a judge.  This is part of the process. To effectively represent a client in a Florida family law, Florida dissolution of marriage or Florida paternity case, having a full understanding of the facts is always a starting point.  Being able to efficiently draw relevant facts out of clients so proper analysis of the applicable Florida law and claims can be made is Mr. Miller’s strength.  No two cases are alike and an independent evaluation of relative strengths and weaknesses of a case needs to be made up front.  This evaluation process continues as cases progress and as new information comes to light, as oftentimes is the case, the client’s position is reevaluated and important decisions made.
