Geauga County Assistant Prosecutor Paul Miller has been named Ohio CASA’s 2024 Attorney Advocate of the Year for his dedication to the Geauga and Lake County communities. He received this honor at the Ohio CASA’s 29th Annual Celebrate Kids! Conference, which was attended by over 700 CASA volunteers, attorneys, and child welfare professionals from across the state.
Paul Miller expressed his dedication to his work, stating that helping families in crisis turn their lives around is a rewarding aspect of his job as an Assistant County Prosecutor. He described his time representing the Geauga County Department of Job and Family Services as one of the most enjoyable periods in his career. Miller was nominated for the Attorney Advocate of the Year award by the CASA for Kids of Geauga County program, recognizing his strong commitment to the juvenile court and CASA initiatives.
Mary Ruth Shumway, Executive Director of CASA for Kids of Geauga County, praised Paul Miller for his support of volunteers and for advocating the establishment of a CASA program in Lake County. He maintains consistent communication with CASA volunteers, staff, families, and children. In early 2024, Miller organized a Supreme Court-approved training session for attorneys and CASA volunteers, focusing on effective testimony techniques and including a mock trial. This innovative approach provided valuable hands-on experience, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees.
