From Personal Injury to Parenting Prodigies: Meet Craig Milsten

The Red Wagon Estate Planning & Elder Law Show

Jeff is joined today by Craig Milsten. Craig has worked as an assistant District Attorney and the head of litigation at a large general practice law firm. For the last 18 years, he has been with Katherman Briggs & Greenberg (KBG) Injury Law. Craig is an experienced trial attorney and specializes in personal injury claims.

Both Craig and Jeff have teenagers who are exceptional performers and musicians. York’s music community—especially the York Symphony and the Youth Symphony—have greatly influenced their children's musical development. You won’t want to miss this discussion, which includes the remarkable musical journey of Craig’s son, Andy.

What You Need to Know

(04:12) Personal injury law is based on the concept of negligence and a reasonableness standard.

(04:41) Injuries due to negligence can have financial, medical, and emotional consequences.

(07:00) Before joining KBG Injury Law, Craig considered KBG to be the gold standard. Being recruited was an opportunity too good to pass up.

(08:16) Starting a legal career in the DA's office provides terrific career experience. There is no better way to learn the rules of evidence, the rules of procedure, and how the courtroom works.

(09:55) Only a small number of civil cases go to trial. When they do, they can be years in the making and require a tremendous amount of work.

(12:20) The goal with every civil claim is to try to resolve it outside of court. A claim only becomes a lawsuit when the plaintiff’s idea of a fair resolution doesn’t match the defendant’s idea.

(12:39) There are risks in going to trial. It can take a long time to get to the courtroom. A trial is typically more expensive. There is also the risk of unexpected outcomes.

(15:05) Craig’s younger son is a terrific singer and actor, heavily involved in musical theatre. Craig’s older son, Andy, is 19 and on the autism spectrum. Currently, he is finishing his first semester as a piano performance major at West Chester University. His story is amazing!
