John Milkovich has been fighting for working familes for over 25 years. Civil Damages Litigation is the focus of his practice, and he has worked tirelessly to obtain settlements and judgments for those harmed by the misconduct of  others. Along the way, he has served as lead counsel in a First Degree Murder case that ended with an Appellate Acquittal, a case featured in a 60 Minutes Documentary by Diane Sawyer; he handled the case that resulted in the landmark Louisiana Supreme Court decision recognizing sexual harassment as a tort in Louisiana; and he has been recognized on a yearly basis as one of the leading lawyers of Shreveport.. However, John Milkovich says he’s achieved nothing on his own. His focus instead, is on teamwork, community—and Faith.. Says Milkovich, “I’ve been blessed to work with great people, starting with my brilliant wife— who possesses a fine legal mind, and my talented daughter—an accomplished scholar.”  Milkovich adds, “Our success in helping others obtain Justice has also been the result of dedicated staff, investigators like Rick Turner and James Jones who have the guts to find the truth, and scientists who have the courage to stand for the truth, and take on hired guns.”  He  also observes that “Judges that have the Independence and Integrity to stand for Justice— Judges like Federal Judge Tom Stagg, Fred Sexton,  and the late Pike Hall, Jr.—  leave an indelible imprint upon those affected by their just decrees, and set a benchmark for Justice in the communities they serve.”. Milkovich is committed to his community, working over the last 20 years in Gospel ministry to children, among them inner city children, troubled youths and young people from broken families.  He has publicly opposed the strip club in Shreveport, a landfill dump near Shreveport’s water supply, the federal takeover of Louisiana Schools through Common Core, excessive property tax burdens on Caddo Parish citizens.. Finally, he is committed to the Lord.  “There are no problems Jesus cannot solve. And our Pastoral Leaders are the true heroes of our Community.  Leaders like Denny Duron, a selfless visionary committed to seeing God work in the lives of the people; like Rescue Mission Director, Henry Martin, who gives his life away serving others; like Lee Whitaker, who has spent over 25 years at the Rutherford House, selflessly working to give troubled kids a second chance.. Says Milkovich, “I have a passion for fighting for working families, people in need of Justice, ordinary people—one case at a time.  And I am inspired in that fight by the heroes around me.”

EXPERIENCED, PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONALLY ENGAGED. Nothing is as professionally satisfying as having the privilege of personally working alongside clients who have sought my counsel, experience and expertise to explain options and map out strategies to effectively and efficiently accomplish their goals. To work with individuals or businesses "the right way" toward a positive and satisfying desired result with respect to which we can all be proud, makes the practice of law truly rewarding.. To discuss with people their goals and dreams, then work with them on how best to accomplish those dreams is an honor. It’s especially gratifying to do so by helping create or grow a family through adoption. To be able to draw on my many years of experience handling hundreds of adoptions to successfully shepherd folks through the sometimes challenging processes involved in all the various kinds of adoption, private or agency, intrafamily or international, open or closed, or an in-state or inter-state adoption is a joy. It’s a privilege to interact with prospective adoptive parents and birth parents, and then ultimately put the bow on the very special package which is the finalized adoption. Becasue of my years and extensive experience guiding clients in adoption proceedings several years ago I was invited and recognized to be an Adoption Fellow of the international Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys.. Other dreams are realized by facilitating property transactions. Or it may be by helping develop wise plans for the long-range disposition of their property by setting up family business entities, or making advance estate plans, or drafting wills or trusts, counseling individuals and families with respect to succession or probate procedures after the death of a loved one, or assisting with any and all of the myriad other lifetime transactions that all benefit from individualized, experienced counsel and advice.. All such work present opportunities for one-on-one interaction with people who want their business handled by someone who will energetically invest their time in and sincerely care about their affairs.. This is what first inspired me to want to go into this profession and what motivates me to come in each day and continue to improve my skills and increase my knowledge of the areas in which I have practiced for now nearly 39 years.
