Since becoming a lawyer in 1993, I have completely dedicated myself and my practice to the defense of those charged with criminal misconduct. For more than 20 years the vast majority of my practice has been helping people avoid the drastic and often times unfair consequences of a DUI conviction.
To many, a DUI charge feels like an over whelming burden that will drastically changes their lives. It does not have to be. My practice is founded on the belief that through hard work, preparation, diligence, communication and never giving up, every DUI charge can be beaten. Our results show that in almost every instance, this belief is true.
Practice areas
My staff and I are 100% committed to making sure that our clients are not convicted of a DUI. In the vast majority of cases we see, the prospective punishment far out weighs the alleged conduct. To us, this is simply unacceptable.

I had the opportunity to meet Attorney Tim Milios at a National DUI Seminar held at Harvard Law School in the summer of 2013. Tim was in my small group session and I got to see first hand his trial skills. His compassion, experience and knowledge left me very impressed. It is without hesitation I recommend Attorney Milios to anyone facing DUI charges.

There are many attorney's whom I respect and admire practicing in the area of DUI but I work for Tim Milios because he is the best. He is an outstanding listener and is able to identify what his clients need from him. He always obtains outstanding results because he is liked and respected and always prepared. He approaches each case with a fresh eye and advocates for his clients with his vast knowledge and his strong sense of justice. His preparation of his cases and his constant research and comittment to the practice are components of what make him an outstanding lawyer, but there is more to it than that. Tim's passion for the law and preserving the rights of his clients are what make him truly great. He has my unqulaified endoresment and my total respect.
