California

I have been a licensed California attorney since February of 2001. I am familiar with appellate practice, and entitled to practice in all California Court of Appeals as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. I have successfully brought or responded to a number of appeals and petitions for extraordinary relief.

I have repeatedly demonstrated a willingness and ability to accept engagements involving complex litigation with rapidly evolving facts, scheduled for expedited resolution.

Prior to becoming an attorney, I operated a computer distribution business which I founded at the age of nineteen. While operating the computer business, I attended the University of California at San Diego and obtained a B.A. in Mathematics. I was later joined in the business by my father, James I. McMillan, and brother Shawn McMillan. Together, we operated the computer business for sixteen years. At the height of that company's success, the distribution business employed 29 employees and had a gross revenue of $9,000,000 per year. While operating the distribution business, I attended law school at night. After graduating, I took and passed the California bar exam on my first attempt.
