Gregory Morris
I hired J. Scott Milner to represent me in a highly contentious child custody modification case. From our first meeting, his deep experience in family law was evident. He was strategic and, as his reputation suggests, an aggressive advocate in hearings, which was exactly what the situation required. His knowledge of the Travis County courts and judges was a clear advantage. I particularly appreciated that he first explored every avenue for settlement, saving us considerable time and emotional strain, before we had to proceed to trial. The recognition he's received from Super Lawyers and Martindale-Hubbell is well-deserved. My only minor critique is that during the busiest phases, communication from his support staff could sometimes lag by a day. However, when you have him in the courtroom, you know you have one of the best. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome he achieved for my family.
