Dee Miles, who joined the firm in 1991, manages our Consumer Fraud Section. He has been instrumental in pioneering consumer fraud litigation for the firm, especially in the areas of “bad faith litigation” and life insurance litigation, with specific attention given to so-called “vanishing premium” cases. Dee oversees all of the cases being litigated in this section. On a national level, Dee is currently serving as lead counsel in a number of extremely important cases, including the pharmaceutical pricing litigation for the States of Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alaska, Hawaii and Utah. State Attorneys General throughout the country seek advice on litigation from Dee, specifically on matters dealing with insurance and pharmaceutical litigation. Dee is currently heavily involved in the trials on behalf of the State of Alabama case against 79 pharmaceutical companies. In the past, Dee has spearheaded several national global settlements concerning “opt out litigation” against a number of top Fortune 500 companies. Nearly all of these settlements involved confidentiality and can’t be discussed publicly. Dee’s leadership in the consumer fraud and commercial litigation area of law is unprecedented.

Dee is presently a Sustaining Member and a member of the Executive Committee for the Alabama Trial Lawyers Association and past President of the Montgomery Trial Lawyers Association. He is also an active member of the Trial Lawyers for Public Justice. In the recent past, Dee was named “Boss of the Year” by the Montgomery Association of Legal Secretaries. Dee was most recently honored by the American Trial Lawyers Association as one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in America.

Dee and his wife, the former Sandra Turnblad, have four children, two girls and two boys. They are active members of The Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Montgomery. In 2003, the Roman Catholic Church honored Dee and Sandra by inducting them into the Equestrian order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem and this past April, Dee was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in that organization for his community service and dedication to the Catholic faith. The Order is responsible for promoting Christianity within the Middle East and protecting the holy shrines in that region of the world. Dee is also a volunteer for the Montgomery County YMCA, and Dee has coached several soccer teams. He has also worked on a successful fundraiser for the Boy Scouts of America. Dee is on the Advisory Board of the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. Dee has done a tremendous job for the firm and we are blessed to have him with us. His section has brought about lots of good for consumers in this country.
