Review Philip Kalil

Excellent Lawyer!

Posted by TravisMon Apr 21 2014

From the start, I felt comfortable with Attorney Kalil. He kept me informed and was a great comfort through the entire process leading up to my court case. I couldn't imagine a better attorney to have in my corner.

Philip M. Kalil- Knowledgable and Trustworthy!

Posted by MattThu Jul 24 2014

I would recommend Philip Kalil to anyone in need of quality, expert legal advice or representation. My wife and I recently sold our town house but ran into some legal issues late in the process. Phil was happy to help us out and immediately took control of the case. He was able to get us the various legal documentation we needed to make it through our closing date on time and without any issues! Phil constantly kept us informed throughout the process and was very responsive to all of our questions and concerns. Overall, I would describe Philip Kalil as knowledgeable, trustworthy, and a complete professional.
