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.

SIMPLY BRILLIANT

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...oblem. We had first visited 2 other law firms and they were only too happy to have us file bankruptcy there and then after listening for 5 minutes! Mr. Phillips offered us no less than 5 practical and legal options to deal with our debt – bankruptcy being just 1 of the 5! He listened intensely asking questions and taking notes the entire time. I felt like I knew him from a past life or that he was an angel sent to help us. He understands DEBT and BANKRUPTCY and most of all he understands people and the emotion and fear we feel when dealing with it. I have never heard of an attorney who turns off his cell phone, tells his secretary his is in a client meeting and gives 120% of his attention and 2 hours of his time for FREE! We are hiring Mr. Phillips and are so impressed we will be referring our son for a debt consultation and my best friend. The best part of the meeting is how comfortable you feel, here is a man who understands our problem, provides and EXPLAINS on our level the pros and cons to each solution and best of all offers practical advice that we can take at this very moment. I never thought I could be so impressed by an Attorney, after all their reputation precedes them. Mr. Phillips is an expert in the prime of his career who just gets it plain and simple! He genuinely cares and he understands. In fact, my husband (not a very complimentary person or talkative) said on the drive home that the Miami Bar should hire Mr. Phillips to train and teach other bankruptcy and debt lawyers how to handle a client interview and meeting - he is that good! I would recommend him with complete and total confidence to anyone who is worrying about debt or facing bankruptcy.

Thank you and your husband for a very humbling and moving review. Grant.

Thanks For the Help

I was impressed when Mr. Phillips called me back 15 minutes after I spoke to his secretary. After reviewing my case, he honestly told me that he could not help me because my situation needed to be handled by someone in that expertise. However, he kindly advised me on what direction I should go to an...d also offered to do further research in order to find me the perfect referral. I quickly realized that he was very passionate and caring about his vocation. I do not know any other lawyer who would spend 30minutes advising someone over the phone for free. I definitely would recommend him as a lawyer and will find use of his services in the near future.

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
