I have practiced in Orlando for 30 years.  I am rated AV Preeminent by Martindale Hubbell, the Highest Peer Reveiw Rating In Legal Ability and Ehicial Standards. This rating is considered the pinnacle of professional excellence earned through a strenuous peer reveiw rating process managed by one of  the worlds most trusted legal resources.. I began my career representing automobile and motorcycle manufacturers in complex product liability claims.  After a brief stint as an Assistant City Attorney doing Eminent Domain condemnation cases and representing the Code Enforcement Board, I resumed my prior practice area until I founded SeifertMiller, LLC a law firm dedicated to representing victims of negligence.. I have tried a number of cases to verdict and have a great deal of experince representing injured people.  This coupled with my prior experience representing manufacturers and insurance companies gives me keen insight into how best to represent my clients.  Since 2002, I have only represented injured people.. I live in Windermere, Florida with my wife Jamie.  We have been married 35 years and have a son also named Scott who is a recent graduate of Michigan State University School of Law.

I have lived in Florida since I was 2 years old.  First in Miami, then West Palm Beach, and now I make Orlando my home with my family.. Verbal battling was always natural to me, so it would seem ftting that being a lawyer was in my future.  The trick, however, is to know when it's time to battle and when it's time to extend an olive branch.  This is something that I belive comes naturally, but must be defined through experience.  I now have about 15 years of experience as a lawyer and feel very comfortable in any setting against any other attorney in representing the best interests of my clients.  After all, there is no reason to be afraid of another attorney, judge, prosecutor, or court itself.  At least that's my position.. I began my legal career at the State Attorney's Office in Orange County Florida (Orlando).  While there I earned a Top Performer Award and Merit Raise for my prosecuting.  I handled traffic, misdemeanors, and felonies.  My last stint at the office was as a Domestic Violence Specialist Prosecutor.  While in that role I also had the responsibility of training and mentoring younger prosecutors.  One of whom, I am proud to say, has moved up quite high in the ranks of the office.. Upon leaving the State I worked for another attorney in town for about a year.  Then I partnered up with two other attorneys.  One attorney left and it was me and one partner.  Being a partner can be difficult.  Eventually, we went our separate ways and I have happily been on my own for about seven years now.  I handle my own cases.  I do not meet with clients only to let an associate or paralegal handle your case.  I am available to my clients by cell, text, or email at any time including the weekends and holidays.. I greatly enjoy meeting people and learning their stories.  It's always something different.  Not all cases are very serious, but I try to stick to a simple approach....honesty.  I will not tell a client something just to make them feel better.  It would be easy to do, but I'm more of an attorney or counselor than a salesman I suppose.  Many of the cases I get now are referrals from former clients who know that I will charge a fair rate, defend the case as well as possible, and be honest during a time when someone needs that the most.. In the end my goal is to get charges dropped first then try to keep my client out of jail.  What I can promise is my best effort at a reasonable rate during a difficult time.

I have focused my law practice on Medical Malpractice claims for over 30 years.  I have successfully handled thousands of cases and received multi-million dollar verdicts on behalf my clients.  I am proud to a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum as well as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer with NTLA.

I have deep roots in the Central Florida area having lived and worked here most of my life. With more than 36 years practicing under my belt, I am certainly very familiar with the legal layout of the land. I began to think about the legal profession in college because I believe the law basically encompasses every aspect of our lives.. As far as getting into family law, I went through a divorce in the late 1980s and the attorneys I had were wonderful. One became a judge and one is still practicing locally. I found myself needing to understand family law so I could maneuver through the system. In the process, I discovered I really wanted to help people going through similar difficult times just as my attorneys had. I really gravitated to it and have practiced family law ever since. I have found it has given me valuable insight as I am not only a family law litigator, but also someone who has been on the other side going through divorce.. I know what clients go through and the ups and downs that they sometimes face. I believe my role is not just to represent a client but also to provide them with a pathway to obtain some sort of certainty in their lives. To me, that is satisfying. My parents divorced so I can still to this day see it from a kid’s point of view when parents are arguing and not getting along. I understand the quicker a resolution can be reached to bring as much normalcy to a family as possible the better.. My Strengths. I bring a tremendous amount of experience and empathy to cases. I am very professional when working with the opposition. However, I am also very willing to take an aggressive approach in order to get things done for my clients. The process can be quite complex so having more than 30 years of family law experience brings quite a bit to the table for my clients.. What I Find the Most Exciting in Legal Practice. I find it exciting when I have done a good job for the client and they are satisfied. When the process works well, those are the best moments. I also have a great deal of courtroom experience which is exciting because you have got to be on your toes and know what you are doing in making your arguments in front of a judge.. My Personal Life. I am married to a wonderful woman named Gail and we each have a grown daughter. I am also grandfather to two amazing children. From a grandparent’s point of view, you can never have enough time with them. Being a grandparent is great, so from a family standpoint, this is the best part of my life I have ever experienced. I also love music, particularly the blues.. My Qualifications:. I think my multiple decades as an attorney speak to my experience. There is very little that happens in the courtroom that I have not seen. But many people demand a traditional biography. For those people, here are my particulars:

I have dedicated my law practice to helping the disabled. Specifically, I represent Veterans who have been wrongly denied service-connected compensation benefits by the Department of Veterans (VA).

I handle ALL criminal cases, no matter how large or small.. When I was a former prosecuting attorney I handled ALL felony and misdemeanor cases, from possession of drugs to murder.  As the Prosecutor/Assistant State Attorney for the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation in Orlando, I handled cases involving organized crime, drugs and drug trafficking, wiretapping, racketeering, (RICO both criminal and civil), commercial sex and law enforcement intelligence.  Therefore I learned to meticulously analyze legal issues from every angle.   In private practice for over thirty years, I use everything I learned while working for the State to personally provide my clients with the highest professional, thorough, competent and quality legal representation throughout Central Florida in the defense of their criminal case(s).   As a smaller firm I can invest my time and energy into each case.  I meticulously analyze your legal issue from every angle to determine how best to resolve it.

I began my career as an advocate for communities and individuals over a decade ago. Over that time I obtained my law degree and my license to practice law in the State of Florida. Every day, I work to represent those that need access to dedicated representation through some of the most trying times in their lives. It is the passion of my life.. It was through my time as a community organizer and activist that I had the honor of meeting people from all walks of life, and from all corners of the globe. That experience taught me that, no matter your station in life, you deserve a voice. I became an attorney to be a voice for people in need.

I am the son of Cuban immigrants.  My parents taught me the value of hard work and dedication.  I bring these values to each case.  I have been practicing law for the last 22 years.  Throughout that time, I have had the privilege of working with many wonderful attorneys.  These experiences have taught me that each case is different and must be addressed according to the particular circumstances.
