Quick, caring, experienced & affordable! Excellent

From defending my credit card lawsuit, to filing my bankruptcy, Grant Phillips is an excellent attorney. Always returning my phone calls, or emails and texts. Yes a top experienced lawyer giving out his personal cell phone. A family member recommended Grant and he lived up to all that I was told to e...xpect. A gentleman, highly experienced and excellent at getting those debt worries out your head, quickly and making you feel in totally safe and caring hands. His prices are also some of the best I had shopped in the Broward and Dade area and this is one lawyer who is on top of his game and also understands that law should be no different to any "business" offering an un-timed consultation, superb communication, as many of the reviews have attested to and getting the job done timely and without any headaches. I recommend Grant 150 percent to anyone facing any debt issues or contemplating bankruptcy. N.Y

Excellent Attorney!

Excellent Attorney! Overall rating Excellent Trustworthy Excellent Responsive Excellent Knowledgeable Excellent Kept me informed Excellent I recommend Grant Phillips. I used Grant 1-6 months ago. Grant handled my Bankruptcy / Debt matter. I have previously worked with 1-2 lawy...ers. Client Review: Mr. Phillips just completed our bankruptcy. The process from the very first free 2 hour consultation to the Final Discharge was smooth, non-intimidating and my husband and were actually relaxed. We owe a HUGE thanks to Mr. Phillips for all of this. Its also noteworthy that Phillips is as so many off the reviews state here - THOROUGH and COMPREHENSIVE- looking at the total debt picture from start to finish, weighing each option and solution and explaining every pro, con and legal fact on a level we could understand. More than anything, we were impressed with how at the 341 Meeting with the Trustee, all the other attorneys in the room were sitting at a "Private lawyer table" Phillips sat next to my husband and I the entire time even as we waited fro the trustee to call our names. I asked him "shouldn't you be at the lawyer table?" He answered "most definitely NOT! I sit with my clients. I NEVER sit at " that table" you hired me not just to get rid of debt, but to do it with dignity while making you feel as relaxed as possible... sitting separate from my client seems arrogant and unprofessional" He then reiterated what he told me at the first appointment. "WE are in this together!" If you are looking for experience and expertise without arrogance and a sincere and caring professional - you need not look any further Grant Phillips is all that and more. Best of everything was everything happened as he explained. He is a lawyer for the people and of the people and so are his fees and his prices reflect as much - he was better and MUCH CHEAPER than the so called Big Firms

EXCELLENT DEBT ELIMINATOR - EASY & CARING

To anyone going through any sort of debt crisis like i did DO NOT jump to file bankruptcy. JUMP to see attorney Grant Phillips - a real expert in eliminating all things debt related. Mr. Phillips cares and took all the time I needed for my questions to be answered. There is a pattern here from all of... these 5 star reviews, if its debt, bankruptcy, garnishment, credit card debt, foreclosure anything and everything to do with owing money and you are in the Miami Dade County or Broward County area you owe it to yourself to see the best. There are no fancy frills or expensive furniture if you want to pay for an attorneys office to look "professional" go right ahead. Grant is plain and simple and to the point no facades no gimmicks - SOLUTIONS and each tailor made to my specific needs. He sees Debt as a puzzle and it cannot be looked at in one box and so he takes the time to evaluate your entire fiscal situation and meticulously weighs the pros versus the cons and the consequences. if bankruptcy is the best solution, Mr Phillips will do it and do it ALL for you from A to Z and take all the stress away. I want to thank you very much for all your concern and care and for making a process that seemed overwhelming go so easy.

I have used Grant for a recent healthcare acquistion and debt assessment. He was persistent, clever, and thought out of the box, and made sure we were protected at all times. Above all, his genuine caring for our good shined through all his other outstanding qualities. I highly recommend hom for any ...financial transactions where you want a really bright attorney to watch your back for you.

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
