I grew up in a big family with seven kids. We did not have a lot of money. When I became a lawyer, I quickly realized that there were too many lawyers for insurance companies and Big Corporations and not enough lawyers fighting for the hard working people I knew and grew up with. I decided very early in my career to use my energy as a lawyer to give regular people and small business owners a voice by telling their stories in court

Fantastic Attorney
I have worked with Carlin Phillips, and have referred him cases, over the last 20 years. I can unequivocally say that he is one of the brightest and most conscientious lawyers I have had the pleasure to work with and to work with clients I have referred. He has taken on some of the largest law firms in the Country, and has come out on top.
