Elizabeth Milliken believes that her role as an attorney in our community is to help people use the legal system to find cost-effective solutions to multi-faceted problems.

Elizabeth Milliken began her legal career in 1994 with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office where she gained valuable trial experience as a traditional prosecutor handling a wide variety of misdemeanor and felony cases and then specializing in cases involving drug offenses and search & seizure issues. Branching out into the non-traditional role of a Community Prosecutor, Ms. Milliken worked daily with law enforcement officers from the Marion County Sheriff’s Department, the Indianapolis Police Department, and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department applying aspects of both criminal and civil law to tackle complex crime problems that plagued Indianapolis neighborhoods. While serving as a Community Prosecutor, Ms. Milliken also worked closely with residents of indianapolis neighborhoods expanding her skills not only as a litigator, but also as a problem-solver.

In preparation for a move into private legal practice, Ms. Milliken moved back to the role of a traditional prosecutor handling high-level felony drug cases. During this time, Ms. Milliken worked closely with Indiana State Police detectives on cases involving complex search and seizure issues.

Since beginning her private practice, Ms. Milliken has found her unconventional skills learned while working with residents of a diverse community to resolve complex problems and relationships to be invaluable when representing clients on criminal matters as well as in cases involving family law, collections, and general civil issues.

I handle appeals in all federal and Indiana state appellate courts, in both civil and criminal proceedings. Besides Indiana courts, I also practice regularly in the the United States Courts of Appeals for the Seventh and Eighth Circuits, and have also worked on appeals in most of the other federal circuits as well as the United States Supreme Court.

Appealing a case requires different skills than preparing for a trial. On appeal, the court does not hear new evidence but looks only at the facts that were presented to the trial court. It decides the case based on the established facts guided by written briefs and sometimes a short oral argument.

It is therefore critical that your appellate attorney be an excellent writer and a strong logical thinker. You need an appellate lawyer who can carefully examine the established factual record, determine which legal theories are supported by those facts, and present those theories in a clearly written brief. Finally, you need an attorney who understands the possibilities and limitations of the appellate process and who has a working knowledge of the rules of appellate procedure.

Appeals are my principal practice area, and have been a major part of my practice throughout my career. I have litigated appeals in both state and federal court on topics ranging from family law and commercial torts to criminal and habeas corpus to free speech and election law. Besides basic appeals I have also been handled relatively unusual procedures such as en banc rehearing, petitions for certiorari, injunctions pending appeal, and petitions for appellate attorneys fees.

I am also available to prepare legal research or briefs for other attorneys.
