About Robert
Robert McMillin earned his J.D. from Tulane University School of Law after beginning law school in 2001 and graduating in 2004. He is licensed to practice in both Louisiana and Texas. Those credentials underpin a practice shaped as much by courtroom work as by attention to technical detail.
He launched McMillin Law in 2015 and serves as the firm’s lead lawyer and owner. The decision to open his own practice followed years of legal work that prepared him to manage a small firm and handle a steady docket. Running a boutique practice has given him direct control over case strategy and client communication.
McMillin’s caseload emphasizes criminal defense and DUI matters. He belongs to several organizations that align with those areas, including the DUI Defense Lawyers Association and the National College for DUI Defense. He is also a member of both the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. Those affiliations reflect ongoing ties to peers who litigate similar issues across state lines.
Scientific and technical evidence figures into parts of his work. He is listed as a Lawyer-Scientist member of the American Chemistry Society (ACS), an affiliation that signals an interest in scientific issues that can arise in prosecutions and administrative proceedings. That background informs how he evaluates forensic reports, expert testimony and laboratory procedures when they become central to a client’s case.
Outside the courtroom, McMillin maintains ties to veterans’ circles. His firm is certified as a Louisiana Veteran-Owned Business, and he serves as secretary of the board for Military Veterans Advocacy. Those roles connect him to organizations that assist former service members and to networks that provide community support and advocacy.
He is active locally as well, holding membership in the Slidell Bar Association. That local engagement complements his broader practice across Louisiana and Texas. Operating from his main office, he handles criminal and DUI cases along with matters that require careful review of technical evidence.
His practice centers on criminal and DUI defense, and he regularly handles cases involving technical or scientific evidence.
