"I have worked with Scott on the other side of cases, and have mediated for him many times. Scott is prepared, articulate, aggressive when necessary, ethical, and results-oriented. I recommend and endorse Scott."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Milner is one of the toughest and smartest lawyers in his field. You would be wise to hire him to represent you."
"I have worked with Scott on difficult family law matters, and appreciate his maturity and ability to effectively advocate for his client while maintaining civility in the legal process. A very good lawyer."
