Last Tuesday another young Attorney was admitted to the local bar after a petition was presented on his behalf before Justice Sandra Kertzious in the Georgetown High Court.
Twenty five-year-old, Timothy Millington of Agricola, East Bank Demerara, is the newest addition. His petition was presented by Attorney, Paul Braam.
Millington vowed to uphold the principles of the noble profession and promised to always be professional.
Millington obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Law from the University of Guyana (UG) in 2012. He then went on to attend the Hugh Wooding Law School, Trinidad & Tobago where he graduated with his Certificate in Legal Education (CLE) in 2014.
The former Bishop’s High School student has also been admitted to the bar in the Twin-Island Republic.
In an interview with this publication, Millington said that he is currently practicing in both criminal and civil matters.
“I wanted to empower myself and find my voice,” he said, adding that it was his valiant choice to become an attorney with support of his mother Marcelle Higgins.

The Attorney went on to say, “Many Guyanese, in my opinion, are not aware of their rights and responsibilities and as a result they are exploited. I didn’t want to be in that category of exploitation and now that I have found my voice, I want to empower others and be the best advocate with honesty and integrity. “
Millington aspires to become a Corporate and Commercial Lawyer and Litigation Specialist. However, until he reaches this dream, he related that he will practice in a variety of legal areas.
He extended sincere gratitude to his parents, brother, grandmother, godfather, friends and members of the Catholic community.
