Background of Camille Milner
I was born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1958. After moving here in 1963, I grew up in Denton and graduated from Denton High School in 1977. I attended the University of North Texas (formerly NTSU), graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1980 with a Bachelor of Arts degree (double major in History and Political Science). I then attended the University of Texas School of Law, from which I graduated with a Doctor of Jurisprudence Degree in 1983. After graduation from law school I returned to Denton, and I opened up my own law office, S. Camille Milner P.C., after gaining experience working for a couple of different law firms in the area. I have been in private practice since 1984. I also served as the Municipal Judge for Denton from 1985-86.
My practice began in the workers’ compensation and personal injury field; I also gained experience in various areas of civil and criminal practice, but eventually I settled in family law, estate planning and probate, and guardianship. I became Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in 2001. Also since 2001, I have been very active in Collaborative Law, which I believe is a “new world paradigm” which will forever change the practice of law in a very positive way for clients, their families, and our society at large. In 2018, I was recognized as a Master Credentialed Collaborative Professional by Collaborative Divorce Texas. This master status is based on the number of collaborative cases that I have handled and my professional commitment to the collaborative divorce process.
