 Alice B. miller, Esquire is a vigorous advocate of Orlando’s children and families. Miller is a first generation American born to Cuban parents that immigrated to the United States in search of freedom and opportunity. Born in New Jersey and raised in South Florida, she is fluent in English and Spanish. Her maternal grandparents raised her from age ten. “My grandparent selflessly stepped in to raise and care for me and two brothers. I value and respect there sacrifice and commitment. They loved and nurtured us. Miller consequently "pays it forward” for the benefit of children whenever possible.

 “Children are so vulnerable…like clay at the mercy of their molders.” Miller first majored in Elementary Education, but later put her skills and passion to the use in law. She graduated from the University Of Florida Levin College Of Law in 2000 where she was part of Gator Team Child, a child advocacy clinic. Having taught at a low-income middle school, she appreciates the hard work and numerous challenges teachers face daily including having to live on “salaries based on out-dated philosophies.” She worked as Associate General Counsel for the Department of Children and Families. Miller then went into private practice and was mentored in Family Law by David W. Veliz. “Family Law was a perfect fit because children are a central component of a majority of divorce cases. 

My career as a Family Law Attorney allows me to counsel parents going through a very emotionally turbulent time. I keep the client focused on putting their children first”, Miller says. Miller now has her own law firm. She practices Estate Planning/Probate and Dependency Law. She especially enjoys her Dependency work saying, “I guide parents through the system so that they can get the professional services they need to bring their children home as soon as possible.” Miller encourages parents to put the best interest of their children before their own. She cherishes her career and notes that the dedication, sincerity and integrity she gives each client cannot be measured or bought with billable hours. Miller is married to Jonathan, who is an elected official, a community activist, a supportive husband and a dedicated father. They have a 4 year old son and 1 year old daughter. Miller can be seen on Orange TV. discussing various topics. She is a proud member of Hispanic Bar and the American Inn of court. Miller watches over Central Florida’s children and families and that is why she is a woman to watch.
