Central Florida is more than a theme-park destination; it’s a mosaic of hometown eateries, innovative businesses, health-minded pros, and neighborhood hangouts that give our region its unmistakable energy. To celebrate all that local spirit, the Orlando Sentinel launched Central Florida Favorites – presented by NeJame Law – to spotlight the businesses, people, and places that Central Floridians love most.
Over the past several months, residents nominated and voted at VoteCentralFlorida.com across dozens of categories – from Eat & Drink to Health & Beauty, Shopping, Services, and beyond. Each ballot was a show of community pride, and the response proved just how passionately we support our local champions.
Inside this inaugural magazine, you’ll meet the winners – gold, silver, and bronze – whose dedication lifts up our neighborhoods every day. We hope their stories inspire you to dine somewhere new, book a local service, or simply share a word of thanks with the teams that keep Central Florida thriving.
Thank you to everyone who took time to nominate, vote, advertise, and cheer on the contenders. Your enthusiasm turned an idea into a community tradition – one we can’t wait to see grow in the years ahead.
Enjoy exploring your Central Florida Favorites!
One glance at Todd Miner Law’s success, prestigious certifications, and Gold win in Personal Injury Law, and potential clients know they are in good hands.
Todd Miner’s vigilance began at a young age in the classroom. If he ever felt someone was being bullied, he would take a stand, even to his detriment sometimes. “If I see somebody that’s not being treated fairly, I just feel compelled to say something.” So, it was no surprise that Todd gravitated toward becoming an attorney.
As founder and managing attorney, Todd has worked hard to earn all he is blessed with today. The second of nine children, Todd knew if he was going to get through college and law school, he had to do it on his own. That’s when he found a job at UPS unloading semi-trucks.
“I waited over a year on a waiting list to get that job,” he recalled. “I was thrilled. I was probably the happiest person ever hired at UPS as a part-timer.”
A student by day and UPS worker by night, Todd never lost sight of his end goal: to
help others through practicing law. In the end, it all paid off when he passed the Florida Bar exam on his first attempt. From there, his career took off as he progressed from an assistant state attorney to working for the largest auto insurance company in the country, State Farm.
It was during these years that Todd realized that the skillset he’d gleaned from representing big insurance companies would be put to better use on the other side: representing the victims in personal injury cases.
working for a person; you’re working for a big company,” he explained. “I knew that my skills would be better appreciated and utilized if I was helping regular folks who have been injured due to the negligence of others.”
“You can really change someone’s life. I knew if I worked hard like I did on the insurance side, not only would I make other people’s lives better, but I would enrich my own. It’s very rewarding, personally.”
I KNEW THAT MY SKILLS WOULD BE BETTER APPRECIATED AND UTILIZED IF I WAS HELPING REGULAR FOLKS
“When you work for an insurance com pany, it’s a thankless job. You’re not
Eventually opening his own firm in 2011, Todd’s tagline says it all: Everything I learned from their side, I bring to your side®. He can represent his clients in ways other law firms can’t.
“When you work directly for an insurance company, you under-
to them, which helps facilitate a better settlement,” he said. “[It] gives you a good perspective when you are representing a client against a big insurance company. It helps you know what to anticipate; you understand the template defenses that insurance companies use. You have a very good understanding of the experts they retain to defend their cases.”
The benefits of hiring someone with knowledge from the other side are endless. Every attorney at Todd Miner Law is equipped with similar background experience. Most commonly representing motor vehicle injury cases, the team of expert injury attorneys works closely with each other. It isn’t uncommon for them to bounce ideas off one another as they share each other’s strengths, skills, and experiences. Oftentimes, they will even go to trial together as a team, which in turn benefits their clients.
From UPS worker to founding his own firm, Todd has come a long way. His determination to do the right thing has translated into every aspect of his career, and this year, it paid off with a Gold win in Central Florida Favorites contest.
“To be recognized by both the public and clients is validating,” Todd said. “It sends the message to us that we’re doing a good job and that our hard work, professionalism, and results resonate with a lot of people. And to be able to reach a level that exceeds so many other lawyers and law firms is simply an honor. It’s a crowded field out there. It makes me very proud of my work and my staff.”
