The #1 Bankruptcy and Debt Lawyer - what a person!

It is hard finding quality today and especially when looking for a lawyer. I was recommended to Grant Phillips by someone who works at the bankruptcy Courts. I was scared, overwhelmed and in trouble of losing my home, I had 3 lawsuits against me for credit card debt and a medical bill and lost my job.... I felt like there were no answers and after visiting with a couple of the so called "larger" bankruptcy debt law firms my worries were only compounded. They treated me like a number and you feel that you are nothing but a dollar bill sign to them. In fact my consultation was "filling out forms" and I was "worthy" to speak to a so called attorney for 5 or 6 minutes, before they were pushing me for money to begin my case. They didn't have a clue about me, my specific situation and what my worries were. They were not even addressing me and it seemed like they had to move to the next "sucker" sitting in the lobby. It was as this point i said "There has to be a different approach" that's when i researched Avvo.com saw Mr. Phillips and his stellar reviews and experience and knew I was definitely on the right path when my friend at the courts personally suggested him. If like me, you or someone you know is scared, overwhelmed and facing debt of any kind, thinking of bankruptcy have a lawsuit related to debt or have an account garnished with countless phone calls and letters from collectors, you MUST see Grant Phillips. He is truly a life saver and a real credit to the legal profession, leaving me with hope that there are lawyers who still care. He knows the law better than any i have met and can explain it to you on any level so you will understand it too. He explains what all your options are, provides solutions and gives solid, legal advice giving genuine hope and taking the weight off my shoulders. Better than anything at all, is his famous FREE consultation. He took 3 hours to meet with me, listen to my specific issues and questions, taking notes all the while. You forget your problems and genuine hope kicks in. He is very, very reassuring and calming and what you see is what you get a genuinely caring, expert, humble who is passionate about helping others. He is an amazing lawyer but a truly great man. I could never have come out of this black hole and seemingly endless stress and pressure cooker alone. Mr. Phillips I want to thank you for your expertise, helping me understand all my options and the pros and cons of each on my level, always returning my calls and emails, providing me with your personal cellular phone number for my peace of mind and keeping me informed on every step of the process as much or as little as I needed and asked for. You are the consummate professional, your knowledge and ability to look at debt as an overall picture understanding how each move may affect another and you dedication passion and care for the client is truly humbling and the least I can do is write this review. I wish I could post a message in the "sky" for all to see - if you are facing any debt or thinking of bankruptcy and live anywhere in South Florida from West Palm to the Keys your search is over, your fears and questions will be answered, your ability to function again, have hope, answers get solutions tailored just for you on a level YOU will understand...there is 1 expert and 1 genuine caring human who has the experience knowledge and ability to get you out of this nightmare. I thank God I met Grant Phillips and I thank Grant Phillips for making a tough situation calming and allowing me to relax and actually focus on finding a job again. The bankruptcy went through problem free and the order timing and steps were almost identical to how Mr. Phillips explained they would go. As he likes to say "money comes and money goes but family and health is true wealth! I consider Grant a part of my family and he gave me back my life when I felt there was absolutely no hope. Grant Thank you, thank you, thank you! I rest my case - Jacky S

Grant is an excellant lawyer. he is attentive, compassionate, and looks out for present and future needs. he has kept me informed through my entire legal process, and has always asked for my consent and opinion on every step of the legal process. his fee is very fair and manageable. his demeanor with... the bank with in which i was fighting foreclosure was firm but respectful. i would recommend Grant Phillips as an attorney to anyone in need of legal services.

Thank you Mr. Phillips!!!

I can’t describe how grateful I am to Mr. Grant Phillips. Prior to contacting Mr. Phillips about my financial issue, things were difficult for me. After signing up, he immediately handled my creditor phone calls and negotiated a settlement. The entire process was much easier than I ever imagine sin...ce he handled the case. Since day one, Mr. Phillips was very supportive, knowledgeable and kind. As my attorney, not only did handle my case in a professional and expedient manner, but he kept me informed through every step of the process, and he guide me until the final settlement. I was completely satisfied with Mr. Grant Phillips and the great and fast job he did on my case.

THE GREATEST!!!

I hired Grant Phillips to represent me in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I was referred to him by a friend. I would not be exaggerating if i said that Mr. Grant Phillips is my guardian angel - he has helped me get rid off all my debt and taken care of all my financial worries, BUT more importantly he has gi...ven me throughout the time i have known him complete peace of mind and calmness. He explains everything to me on my level. Takes my nervous phone calls (Even Sundays I might add) and is the most tremendous attorney I know and an honorable, trustworthy and caring person. He is SOOOOOO passionate about what he does and it comes through every time. I recommend Grant to anyone and everyone in all of Florida and the USA who are facing sny debt issues whatsoever and or considering bankruptcy.
