A major element in the rm’s rapid rise and their success is Milner’s application of lessons learned while on the high school rodeo circuit, such as the value of individual success within a team environment. He says, “On the rodeo team, we helped each other even though we were essentially compet- ing against one another. If a rider on a di erent team needed help, you’d help them. You want everybody to compete at their best when you’re in the arena. at’s what it’s like in the courtroom and our law rm. It’s the opportunity for in- dividual achievement, but you want everybody to do well.”
One of the greatest rewards of criminal defense, Milner says, is the opportunity to give someone a second chance in life whether or not they did something wrong. “I had a federal client who every time he and his wife had a new baby, he would send me a picture with a card. He would write, ‘ is child would not have been born if not for you.’ I was truly touched. Words like that give you an amazing sense of accomplish- ment.”
BUSTING BRONCS TO KICKING TAIL
Milner says his approach to any case is based on the standard of: “What if it were my life on the line? What if it were my career, family, and good name at stake?”
Milner says, “I believe that my presence in a case will make a di erence to the client – that there will be a better result because I am on the case. I genuinely care about my clients. I have had many clients who needed a lawyer to handle a non-criminal matter, but who would want me to personally handle it. I tell them this isn’t my area of ex- pertise, but I’ll nd a lawyer for you. Even when I’d nd a lawyer for them, they’d still want me to be involved. ey trust me, and they know I’ve got their backs.”
