Property Foreclosure
Grant was a wonderful advocate for my family as we were facing, among other things, a foreclosure. He was involved every step of the way until a resolution was found. He was there as a "referee" when the negotiations looked like they might break down. Without having Grant on our side, I am certain...
an unusually challenging case and time. I would not give up on your or the family! We pulled through the worst and I only see positive up side from hereon - kudos to your bravery and strength which was contageous on the whole family thus making my job and representation easier! Thank you for entrusting your family and all your legal issues to me. As always I remain a resource and guide for you and the whole family and will continue to serve you all, with passion, unrelenting service and expertise. Thank you for your kind words Grant!

Kind, polite, respectful and considerate Attorney
I found Mr. Phillips in my desperate search for a considerate and qualified Attorney. I saw his goods reviews on the web so I scheduled and appointment with him for my bankruptcy case. I was expecting to meet an arrogant inconsiderate Attorney as I had met in the past, but for my surprise Mr. Phill...
Thank you Armando! I am most pleased that you found my services and advice to be a resource and guide especially after the horrible and simply WRONG advice you received from others. I thank you for your kind words. My very best to you Grant!

Excellent Attorney
I came to Mr, Phillips after a checking account I use was frozen based on a 2008 Judgment that issued a Writ of Garnishment. Mr Phillips immediately found three legal exemptions and defenses and dismissed the Writ in its entirety. He also advised me on asset protection and my wife and I feel much saf...
Irving, your case will forever remain a POSITIVE memory for me and was a true inspiration! When the account that you and your dear wife had been saving for years, to pay for expensive medical treatment in your attempt to have a baby together got frozen, I made it my passion and top priority to get that entire account released and unfrozen. With luck, hard work and a fair Judge we did it! The news your shared with me in the last week that you guys are now pregnant is absolutely wonderful and makes this one of my personal favorite cases. As a father myself, blessed with three gorgeous and amazing boys, I know you and your wife will make wonderful parents. Your case and more importantly the result will forever remain with me. I am blessed and fortunate to have served you both! Only the very best of luck and continued blessings. Grant!

My husband and I have been living pay check to pay check for years now and are stuck in a debt rut! Credit cards galore, mortgage, HELOC, car leases etc... Mr. Phillips is not a typical attorney he gave my husband and I a FREE 2 hour consultation. He dug deep to get right to the bottom of our debt pr...
Thank you and your husband for a very humbling and moving review. Grant.

Superb!
Grant helped me with filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy in Miami,.I got all my debts ($650K+) discharged without a hassle.
With 4 other attorneys having worked with you previously on your bankruptcy and no result - I was truly concerned. Thankfully all worked out and we got rid of all your debt legally, efficiently and without stress. Thank you for your re-belief in the legal system and that it does still work. I wish you the very best of luck in the next chapter of your life as you finally get the chance to begin with a fresh financial start! Grant
