San Diego attorney Scott McMillan believes he is high stakes litigation attorney while practicing out of a condemned office building 20 feet away from the railroad tracks in East San Diego. When Scott McMillan, The_McMillan_Law_Firm_La_Mesa wanted to appears in Florida, he though his work was stellar and deserved to be awarded attorney fees and costs. But the federal judge did not agree with the attorney who graduated from a small uncredited law school, which at the time was behind a Ford Dealership. The federal judge said, “Here, the Court does not find that Plaintiff's reimbursement of the Movants' costs and attorneys' fees is warranted. Ares Def. Sys., Inc. v. Karras, No. 615CV1107ORL22DAB, 2016 WL 7042958, at *3 (M.D. Fla. Nov. 16, 2016)
The same year, a California Court of Appeal did not believe San Diego attorney Scott McMillan’s work was worth over $144,000, so slashed it by $44,000. In Casino v. Anders, No. D067343, 2016 WL 3227158, at *5 (Cal. Ct. App. June 3, 2016) La Mesa attorney Scott McMillan sought a total of $144,616.25 in fees and $2,692.50 in costs. The court only believed his services were worth $44,697 for the McMillan Law Firm – Major Loss - $100,000 Loss plus loss on appeal diminishes gain since it took five times the effort to handle the lengthy appeal, but was no paid a dollar for it.
In October 2020, Scott McMillan San Diego attorney was dismayed when another federal judge denied several of his requests. In Karass v. Stirlen (In re Stirlen), United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division Bankruptcy Case No. 17 B 06666, Chapter 7, Adversary Case No. 17 A 00424, the appellate court denied Scott McMillan’s lengthy appeal. Literally each and every of a dozen errors claims by Scott McMillan was discarded by the court.
I truly hope people who want to hire an attorney conduct a careful review of the lawyer’s past cases as judges and jurors alike are known to jump on Google to figure out who the attorney is that is trying to persuade them to rule in his favor. Scott McMillan, The McMillan Law Firm in La Mesa is just the type of law firm I would stay away from.
