' The guy' s bloody brilliant. If you' ve got him on side you' re about fifty per cent more likely to walk out of court a free man. He' s a tasty operator. ' Wensley Clarkson, author of The Curse of Brink' s-MatFor over forty years, criminal defence solicitor Henry Milner has been the go-to lawyer for some of Britain' s most notorious and high-profile criminals - from Kenneth Noye and the Brink' s-Mat robbers to gangster Freddie Foreman, John ' Goldfinger' Palmer and the gang who carried out the Millennium Dome raid. These and many others who reached serious misunderstandings with the law knew that once they were nicked, there was only one man to call: a genial cigar-smoking solicitor with an office tucked away in a leafy corner of central London, a man known to the Sunday Times as ' The Mr Big of Criminal Briefs' . In this remarkable memoir, Milner gives a real insight into the life of a top London criminal lawyer and into the mind of his clients, along the way introducing us to some of the most colourful characters ever to appear on either side of the dock. By turns shocking and hilarious, No Lawyers in Heaven gives a wry commentary on the frailty of human nature across the spectrum of the criminal justice system in a punchy narrative that could grace the pages of a bestselling crime novel.
"In more than forty years at the top of his game as a criminal defence lawyer, Henry Milner has been on speed dial for many of Britain' s most notorious alleged villains. Sometimes serious, sometimes very funny but never, ever dull, No Lawyers in Heaven offers a sharply observed insight into his most gripping cases, from murder to money heisting, drug trafficking and beyond. " - Martin Brunt, Sky News crime correspondent "Henry Milner' s colourful account of a career over decades as a criminal defence solicitor evokes a bygone era of the criminal justice system. In a highly readable style with plenty of wry self-deprecating humour, Milner gives a compelling insight into a life defending some of the big-league criminal names. A must-read. " - Frances Gibb, former legal editor, The Times
HENRY MILNER has been one of the UK' s top criminal defence solicitors for more than forty years, during which time he has defended some of the most infamous names in recent criminal history. He founded Henry Milner & Company, which is described by Chambers and Partners as a ' Rolls-Royce outfit' .
