George Milner, III

George Milner III became known for trial work at a remarkably young age. Starting as a prosecutor under District Attorney John Vance, he proved himself immediately, trying a jury case on his first day licensed and winning a week-long trial against veteran attorney Randy Taylor. In early 1994, Mr. Milner joined his father, George Milner Jr., and began defending clients in the very kinds of cases he once prosecuted. His reputation spread quickly, including among law enforcement, where the phrase “If you’re in trouble, call Milner” became common. Over the years he has represented about two dozen state and federal officers facing criminal accusations, and with one exception, those matters ended in acquittal, dismissal, or a no-bill. Mr. Milner is also sought out as a speaker on criminal trial topics, particularly jury selection and cross-examination, and he frequently assists civil firms when criminal liability threatens a civil case. He has appeared nationally on Court TV, earned recognition from D Magazine and Texas Monthly, and holds an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell for legal ability and ethics.
