Scott Milner

I recently called upon Scott Milner to help me after poor legal representation during a trial resulted in an unfavorable result. Scott is very detail oriented - this is very important if you find yourself in a high-conflict dispute. He is level-headed, logical, and knows how to effectively question... witnesses. Scott is a kind, compassionate, highly ethical family law attorney. My case has now been transferred out of the county, and Scott is no longer my attorney. That, however, has not stopped him from checking in to see how things are going, and doing everything he can to continue to help in my case. I would highly recommend Scott Milner if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a family law attorney.

Rarely are the topics that Scott deals with pleasant. They are often the most intense and personal times in one’s life as you manage the emotional, financial and personal chaos that are family problems. We hired Scott for a multi-state custody and support matter. Not only was the outcome incredibly s...uccessfully for us, it was handled with an amazing amount of compassion, understanding, and intellectual skill. Scott is an incredibly adept lawyer. Almost as important, he understood and communicated what we needed to succeed and feel confident going forward even after the matter was resolved. He is a person we would recommend for any such matter going forward.

My divorce was very complicated, and I was lost as to how to proceed. My ex-husband had made me afraid to contact an attorney by continuously telling me I would lose custody of my children if we went to court to settle our divorce. After months of worrying and sleepless nights, I decided to contact a...n attorney, and through friends, I found the FMLT law firm and made a consultation appointment with Scott Milner. He was patient and understanding about the anxiety I had towards the process of divorce, always reassuring me while at the same time giving me realistic expectations of what could happen in every scenario of my case. I came to trust Scott to advise me in the right direction, and that trust quickly expanded to his extremely professional paralegals. His entire team openly communicated with me about everything they received from my ex-husbands attorney, and never left me in the dark about what was happening. We had to go to court twice, once for a temporary orders hearing I requested and again for the final divorce hearing to settle things, and each time Scott told me what to expect and helped me prepare so I never felt like I was leaving anything I didn’t absolutely have to up to chance. I was blown away by how well Scott handled himself in court. He was confident, professional, and remembered every important detail to my case. He was clearly well prepared for both court dates as well as mediation, and still made time throughout this process to check in and reassure me periodically. While I realize I was not his only client, he made me feel like I was whenever we met or spoke. I was encouraged by his confidence and obvious capability to handle anything that was thrown at him, and the final outcome was very favorable to me. He preserved my rights as a mother, and enabled me to keep my children in the best situation for them with regards to school. After a year working with Scott and his staff, I am confident that if and when my ex-husband takes me back to court, Scott will continue to be the best defense I could hope for to help me protect the best interest of my children. I highly recommend him, and his law firm as a whole.

My Fiance (now my Wife) had engaged in an ongoing struggle with her 6 year-old Daughter's natural Father, who was extremely difficult to deal with. Her sincere attempts to amend the custody aggreement were rebuffed with a demand for '50-50 or nothing,' despite the fact that he had not exercised his ...visitation for over 2 years, and child was quite apprehensive when with him. Scott was our second attorney on this case, and took control calmly and firmly and was able to bring an unexpectedly satisfying conclusion in only a few months. Scott maintained a firm hold on the rudder and guided us through an unpleasant process with an uncooperative respondant, and I never doubted his skill nor his determination in a situation where the solutions are never easy ones, either for the Judge or the families involved.

My experience with the legal services of Scott J. Milner, have been extremely positive. Scott is an excellent attorney, and one I would highly recommend to everybody. This past year, in the midst of a very bitter divorce, I retained the legal services of Scott Milner. After experiencing som...e very, poor representation from my first attorney, I had to change directions midstream and search for new legal counsel. The stress and anxiety of a divorce such as mine was very high, and hoping to find a good attorney to move forward left me very apprehensive as to which way to turn. My first attorney was abrasive and rude, disorganized, and did not keep me informed or even consult with me on very important issues in my case. This led to larger legal expenses, the loss of very crucial visitation time with my 13 year old daughter, and ultimately a high amount of additional emotional stress. But after my first consultation with Scott, I was relieved to know I had made the correct decision to retain his services. Scott was the exact opposite of my prior attorney. Scott is a highly professional and ethical attorney. He was extremely well organized, staying in constant contact with me, and was always available to patiently answer any questions or concerns I may have had. Scott fought forcefully for my rights and pursued all possibilities for my case, while all the while keeping me informed of all my options. In court, Scott is nothing sort of brilliant! He is a very articulate speaker, and presented my case with forcefulness and precision. On the personal side, Scott is a good family man, who genuinely cared about my case and desired a good outcome for me and my daughter. Scott is a great defender of father’s rights, and because of this I was able to regain lost visitation time with my daughter. Moreover, Scott was able to articulate to the court, the inappropriate behavior of my ex-wife regarding my relationship with my daughter, and to me personally, which led to a very stern reprimand from the judge to my ex-wife, and an emotional vindication for me and everyone who knows and loves me. In addition, his competent legal work led to financial favor for me with the court, and an equitable division of assets and debts. Since my divorce was finalized, Scott has not abandoned his relationship with me, and continues to be available to me for further legal advice and help. Also, the entire staff at the office of the Milner Law Firm is reliable, competent, caring and responsive. I can’t say enough, nor thank them enough for their help in a very dark and stressful period in my life. In the future, should legal aid become necessary again, I will not hesitate to contact Scott Milner and the Milner Law firm to represent my family’s personal interests. I would highly recommend that anyone who needs the same sort of legal counsel quickly retain the services of Scott J. Milner.
