Philip answered my question in detail, explaining that although I would be within my legal right to do what I wanted to do, the court would frown upon my actions,potentially making things more difficult for me in the long run. I appreciate the honesty and info, and will definitely reconsider my plan of action. Thank you!
A great Attorney that is honest, Kind, and dedicated to you!
When I was going through one of the most difficult times in my life having to face the judicial system in Family Court, I was blessed enough to have Philip Mason represent me.
He received my case less than 24 hours before I was due in court and he stayed up late into the night to review my case in order to be prepared the next morning.
He has a kindness and sense of humor that made me feel at ease from the moment we met. In court, he was strong and knowledgeable.
Whenever I meet someone that is looking for a great family attorney, I always recommend Philip Mason!
Thank you for being there for my family and I!

Excellent Attorney
Retaining Attorney Mason to handle my divorce and child custody case was one of the best investments I have made. His knowledge of divorce law, the process, and the local community is invaluable in itself. Attorney Mason is always available and truly works for his fees.

Review of Philip Mason, Esq.
I have retained Attorney Mason to assist me in my divorce process. He has been very helpful and supportive during this journey.His knowledge of divorce law and understanding of the personal, emotional, and financial components of ending a marriage are a priority, and much appreciated.
Mr. Mason is always available to answer questions, at any time, patiently and succinctly. He views each case as unique,as all of us human beings are. His primary practise of the law is devoted to Divorce, and that focus, I find, leads to better representation for the client.
I would recommed Phil Mason to anyone who asks.

Excellent post divorce advice
Atty Mason is very knowledgeable. His thorough review of my post divorce options helped me make educated decisions about my next step. Additionally, I appreciated his consideration of cost. He treated me with respect, listened to my concerns, gave me sound advice and all while being considerate of my limited budget.

Very responsive and logical thinker, seemed like a very capable lawyer.
I only know Philip from his response and traded a few emails. He was very informative and responded quickly to my follow up questions. From our brief exchange I would use him should I need any help in his areas of expertise.
