John Milazo
John Milazo is the founding partner at Milazo Law, P.C. John has been a resident of and practiced law in Franklin, Tennessee since 1999. With a practice that has focused primarily on the areas of Criminal Defense and Family Law, John has extensive experience in Williamson County representing clients in high asset divorce cases, complicated contested divorce cases involving issues of alimony and child custody, and post-divorce actions related to modification of alimony/spousal support and child custody/parenting arrangements. He also has more than 23 years’ experience defending client’s accused of crimes ranging from minor misdemeanors to serious felonies in Franklin, and throughout Middle Tennessee.
In addition to being a trial attorney, John is also listed as a Rule 31 Mediator. John uses his experience and training in alternative dispute resolution to serve as a skilled negotiator on behalf of his clients. John’s approach to his practice is that some cases simply have to go to trial and if that is the case John is an experienced and effective litigator. However, mediation and negation, when prepared for properly and handled strategically, can often achieve the goals of the client while saving them the expense and stress of protracted litigation.
John received both his undergraduate degree and Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Mississippi. Graduating from the University of Mississippi School of Law in December 1998. After passing the bar exam in February 1999, and being sworn in as an attorney, he began in private practice as a sole practitioner. In 2001 he joined his practice with that of F. Shayne Brasfield and formed the law firm of Brasfield and Milazo, P.C. In January 2010, Mr. Brasfield left the practice of law to pursue other venture, and the firm name was changed to Milazo Law, P.C. and John continued to practice as the sole managing partner. In 2016, John Milazo and Misty D. Parks decided to merge their two law practices with Misty joining the practice as partner.

As her practice grew, the focus of her practice transitioned to also include family law matters, where she recognized the need for an attorney to not only be able to serve as a strong advocate for a client, but to also use their experience and knowledge to openly and honestly counsel clients on all aspects of the realities of the divorce process.
Practicing primarily in the areas of Family Law and Criminal Defense in Franklin, Tennessee as well as the surrounding Middle Tennessee area, Misty uses her skills and experience to help clients and their families successfully navigate the criminal justice system and family law courts.
