The law is my second career. I became a lawyer because I recognized a shortage of good lawyers that were willing to build a practice serving middle-class clients and small businesses. I have built my Firm in six years from a solo practice to one that employs myself and two other lawyers, plus support staff. Most of our practice involves litigation in the California Superior Court, but we also help our small business clients prepare for the growth and success of their business.

Scott has a rare combination in the legal profession of skill, integrity, wisdom and compassion. I called him with a contract question, and was willing to pay for his time.

Effective Diligent Attorney.
I was involved in a property dispute that quickly turned into nightmare and left me stressed and in despair. I was in need of legal help when I went to meet Scott and asked him to represent me. From the first meeting with Scott and his team I knew I was in good hands. Scott is incredibly sma...

If you want a true professional that's on your side....Scott is the one
The McMillan law firm is top notch. I drove down from Los Angeles to Mesa with a lot of questions and a huge employment mess in my hands. I met with an amazing man that really cared about the outcome of my case. He was honest from the start in terms of everything that I needed to know including fees,...
"Mr. McMillan is honestly a "superb" lawyer, just as his Avvo rating suggests. Rather than roll the dice and see where they land, Mr. McMillan lays out a detailed and creative strategy for his cases from the start. He cares about his clients and his cases, and it shows. Mr. McMillan will stay up all night, working endless hours, to make sure his clients get the best representation in court."
"Scott McMillan is highly intelligent, meticulous, and tenacious. He is eloquent both in court and on paper. He is thorough in both his perpetration and execution, and consistently thinks several steps ahead through various scenarios. I endorse this lawyer."
"Scott McMillan is an attorney you want on your side. He's a staunch advocate for the little guy, and has an unshakable grasp of the law and its application. His ability to process real issues and fabricate bullet-proof solutions is unparalleled. It is a privilege to serve in this noble profession with Scott."
"I've known Scott McMillan for more than 10 years. He is an ethical, yet tenacious, bulldog who leave no stone unturned. I hold him in very high regard."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Scott on Chapter 11 cases and I found him to be very honest and straightforward. Just as important, he is an extremely able practitioner both in his written work and in his representation of his clients before the court, a true advocate for his clients. I would highly recommend him to any potential client or attorney."
"Scott McMillan is a zealous advocate. He is a visionary in the legal field, constantly striving to better the profession while garnering amazing results for his clients. He is equally as talented on paper (writing) as he is in the Court room. His knowledge of the law is superior and his strategies are aggressive."
