Millard A. Johnson – JDKG – Johnson DeLuca Kurisky & Gould, P.C.
A native of Texas, Millard has been practicing law for almost 35 years. While the focus of his practice is commercial litigation, he has recognized expertise in land use and commercial real estate litigation, insurance coverage disputes, and complex payment systems litigation. However, there is no type of civil litigation matter Millard hasn’t handled successfully. He has experience is First Amendment cases, pipe and pipeline disputes, condemnation matters on behalf of both condemnor and condemnee, probate litigation, administrative and regulatory agency claims, and even criminal and divorce proceedings. He has also represented large banks and financial services companies in a wide variety of litigation matters.
Millard is recognized for his knowledge of the complex, inter-linked moving parts that make up the landscape of legal disputes. He understands how to expedite cases through a gauntlet of federal and state statutes and local municipal ordinances and regulatory schemes, government elected or appointed officials’ agendas, and within the confines of the overall political environment to achieve the best outcome for his clients. He is routinely sought out by other attorneys, both inside and outside of the firm, for his counsel on all types of cases.
In fact, a substantial portion of Millard’s practice is in the representation of other attorneys who seek his assistance.
Millard’s substantial jury trial experience provides him with a major advantage in litigation, as well as to help his clients proactively avoid litigation. With an outstanding record, including numerous successful jury trials, Millard is a recognized face in the broader Houston area’s courthouses. He is well respected as an attorney who maintains productive professional relationships with many of the judges, and comes to court well prepared with solid, defendable arguments.
