| Info | Benjamin R. "Ben" Miranda
Ben Miranda comes from a farmworker family of 11 brothers and sisters. By age ten, he had attended over 15 different elementary schools in four different states. This family has given our community four attorneys, a State Representative and other career professionals. Ben Miranda grew up in the Marcos de Niza Housing Projects of downtown Phoenix.
He graduated from Phoenix Union High School and was drafted by the Army, where he served our country in the Vietnam conflict, and was awarded the Bronze Star. After attending Phoenix College and undergraduate studies at ASU, he graduated with the Deans Award from ASU Law School, where he led a recruitment effort that increased minority law student enrollment. In 1994, Ben received the City of Phoenix's First Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "Living the Dream" Award. Ben currently serves on the Roosevelt School Board where he has been recognized for the hundreds of volunteer hours that he contributes to the children. His own law firm contributed hundreds of hours and over $100,000.00 in support of Cesar Chavez of the United Farmworkers. He has also represented World Boxing Champion Michael Carbajal.
His practice has focused on personal injury law where his most recent case involves the death of a 13 year-old named Grizelda Zamora, who died from a ruptured appendix for alleged denial of timely medical attention. This landmark case has significant implications for the quality of medical treatment provided to low-income families throughout Arizona.
Ben has served on the Arizona Trial Lawyers Association, American Red Cross, Valle del Sol and is involved in a $2,500,000.00 school reform plan for the Roosevelt School District. In addition to hosting a weekly radio program on legal issues, Ben Miranda has represented the City of Avondale, Pacific Gas and Electric and Local 383.
Ben Miranda has acquired a well deserved reputation for devoting countless hours of free legal advice to people in our community who could not otherwise obtain legal services. Finally and most important to Ben, he is a devoted father to his daughters Elisa and Maritza.
Brother of former State Sen. Richard D. Miranda, D-13.
