Phillip Christopher Hamilton

Our family found itself in a very serious and worrisome situation and needed a defense lawyer for one of our sons. Phillip Hamilton was recommended to us by two other lawyers who worked with him when he was a public defender. They both spoke so very highly of him. Phillip took our first call in th...e late evening and stayed on the phone with us for over one hour. From the moment that phone call began we knew this was someone we could trust, someone who would represent us as if we were his family, someone who was patient, passionate and very skilled. Over the course of time while we were working with him, he never made us feel rushed, unimportant or bothersome, no matter how many times we asked the same question. He was so calming to all of us, especially our son who felt he was in very good hands with Phillip. Until you go through something like this, you never realize how scared and frightened you could feel. Phillip truly calmed our fears. Phillip demonstrated complete professionalism, yet was able to make us feel that we knew him forever. His level of knowledge and capability was very impressive. Each step along the way he would discuss all options and help us, deciding together, the best course of action. We all felt that he would fight to the ends for us and made us feel as if we were his only client. Phillip is an expert in knowing how to work and build a defense. He is brilliant, intuitive and detailed oriented. After our case was dismissed, we wanted to hug him, and he said he “felt it over the phone”. He is warm, compassionate and comforting. We told Phillip that we would love to watch him in a trial someday, of course when it was not with our son beside him. We can only imagine how his passion, verbal ability and dedication to his clients come across. We cannot thank him enough for giving our son his life back. Thankfully our time working with him was rather quick (seeming like a life time), but he gave us strength, courage and someone to believe in and he would have been by our side no matter how long the process took with the same energy and attention as day one. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Phillip Hamilton.

Phil Hamilton came into our lives as a referral from another attorney. Our teenage son was being arrested for a felony that he did not commit, and the charge was alleged by an unscrupulous person. Phil helped us collect information about the accuser and interact with the police and prosecution. The r...esult was that the charges were ultimately not filed. If you seek an attorney who knows the rights of teens and will work to ensure fair legal treatment, look no further than Phil. Phil is very experienced and attended to us fully during this very difficult time. Most important, Phil has a passion for justice and equity in treatment in a system that often treats people of color unfairly. Phil is now a powerful role model for our son. We can never thank him enough.

The American criminal justice system, as I recently learned, requires not only an astute legal mind, but a high level of professionalism, and an ability to develop and work towards client objectives. In my case, having to face this system as an international client, I further required assistance in ...understanding the nuances of American immigration law, what makes for a sound criminal defence, and even the consideration of diplomatic immunity dimensions. Throughout my entire case and post-disposition, Phillip helped me to navigate every issue of law, and I never felt that I had anything less than the ‘best in class’ with him. My objectives were expeditiously met, and having a career with a public and international dimension, I am happy that Phillip's counsel put me in a position where I can rebuild with minimum impact from my ordeal.

I meet Phillip a few years ago when I got into an automobile accident. At the time he was a legal aid and trust me my family and I were horrified at the thought of a legal aid. But he was awesome, down to earth and he felt like family for day one. I had a great outcome and I will forever be grateful ...to him. Anyone that ask me for a referral for lawyer he is the only name I recommend.
