About the Firm

Henry Milner himself established this firm over 30 years ago. Since its inception it has specialised solely in criminal defence work.

We deal with all types of criminal offences, including fraud, money laundering, confiscation proceedings and Assets Recovery Agency or Serious Organised Crime Agency proceedings, providing a close personal service and ensuring that each client's case is presented in a clear and concise way. The firm is a member of the Serious Fraud Panel.

Henry Milner & Company has never operated on a large scale "factory basis" - and never will. When dealing with this firm you will find you are treated as an individual and not merely as a name or number on a file. Our office is definitely not a criminal law "conveyor belt".

Due to our vast experience in serious and complex cases, we pride ourselves in being able to see "the wood from the trees" when considering and assessing those points which are likely to matter in any court hearing.

Over the years we have built up a formidable network of connections with specialist criminal barristers' chambers, and invariably instruct criminal counsel at the top of their profession, whether they be Queen's Counsel or Junior Counsel. We never instruct Counsel whom we have not personally seen appear in Court.

The whole emphasis of this firm is on proper preparation, a personal and sympathetic service, and instructing the best specialist Counsel.

Our aim is that clients dealing with us will find that they receive a down to earth approach, lacking pomposity, from a firm that prides itself in its professionalism and attention to detail.

Over the years our firm has always appeared in Chambers Law Directory as one of the top criminal practices in London, and Henry Milner himself is cited annually in the Chambers Directory as a 'leader in the field'.

The 2008 Chambers Law Directory entry reads as follows: -

"Henry Milner is a defence firm covering all manner of criminal offences. Market commentators note that this is a "small and quality operation where clients get a personal touch;" this ethos emanates from founding partner Henry Milner, who barristers laud for taking "a phenomenal personal interest in matters" as well as being "a fantastic judge of a case." Fellow solicitors described him as "a legend in his own lifetime.""

Previous Chambers Law Directory entries have read as follows: -

"The firm is best known for its record of success in 'heavy-duty traditional crime'. Highly respected Henry Milner is at the helm, as well-known figure in the market who impresses competitors with his 'wily and effective representation'"

"This "Rolls Royce outfit" is a small practice renowned for providing a personal service and a high level of client care. Its remit covers all types of criminal work, but serious and complicated cases, such as fraud, money laundering and customs prosecutions, are well to the fore. Highly attractive to the celebrity client, it recently represented Vinnie Jones over his air rage incident. Henry Milner is viewed as the team's fulcrum and is widely recognized as being "exceedingly bright and analytical".

A small yet well-established outfit that regularly punches above its weight, this firm is popular with clients for its "excellent level of personal service." Its group has had a busy time of it undertaking considerable activity in the drugs and VAT fraud spheres, and handling a significant extradition from Thailand. Its cynosure remains Henry Milner. As one commentator put it, his wealth of experience is such that he "isn't just a member of the old school, he's probably the headmaster there." "Blessed with great judgement - he knows how to deal with the difficult clients."
