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

Many times we think that the reviews aren’t true

Many times we think that the reviews aren’t true, but I will tell you my story. I was desperate with my debts, I really tried to pay them and negotiate a payment plan, but every day the interests were greater and I was cornered. I called and ask many people and finally looked for a lawyer. I visite...d various lawyers but I was not convince but any of them. Please do not think about going to the lawyers you see on TV, the truth is it is all a scam you see them for the first time and that will be the last time you see them, always read the reviews first. Anyway, I prayed to god to help me and one night I was looking for lawyers on the internet and I came across Grant Phillips’ reviews. I couldn’t believe it, it was perfect, the comments were all 100% positive. I decided since I had already visited so many lawyers I could not lose anything and should visit him, plus one review said that the first time they went to him they spent 2 hours with him and he had not charged them anything. I decided to call and make an appointment, and they gave me one at the afternoon for the following day. I found him just at entrance of the door and he took me and my wife to the conference room, he knew we were nervous and treated us with kindness and care. He explained and told us that he was at our disposal and that if we chose him he would be there with us till the end and he was. He took us by the hand and not only gave us legal support but also moral, which is also very important. Finally, I assure you that he will be there with you the whole way and will help you to have peace and stop all the debt representatives from calling just like he did to us.

Mas que un abogado es una gran persona

Muchas veces creemos que los reviews son mentira, pero les voy a contar mi historia estaba desesperado por la deudas, había tratado realmente de pagar y hacer acuerdos de pago, pero cada día los intereses eran mayores y me estaban arrinconando. Llame pregunte a muchas personas y finalmente fui a b...uscar un abogado, visite varios y no me hacían sentir seguro por favor no se le ocurra ir a estos abogado que ven en la TV la verdad es todo un negocio y lo verán una vez será la primera y ultima vez que lo vean lean los reviews de estos abogado primero. Bueno le pedí a Dios que me ayudara, una noche estaba buscando abogada en el internet y vi el los reviews de Grant Phillips, parecía mentira era perfecto todo los comentarios eran 100% positivos, bueno pensé ya había ido a varios abogado por que no visitar este, no perdía nada, un review decía que este abogado había estado la primera vez dos horas y no había cobrado nada, la verdad parecía imposible pero tome la sedición de llamar para hacer una cita y me la dieron para el día siguiente a las 5:00 de la tarde, lo encontré entrando a la puerta, nos llevo a mi y mi esposa a la sala de conferencia, el sabia que estábamos nerviosos y nos trato con mucho cariño y amabilidad, nos explico y nos dijo que el estaba a nuestras ordenes y que si hacia le trabajo iba estar con nosotros hasta el fina así lo a hecho, nos as llevado de la mano y nos a dado no solo apoyo legal pero también apoyo moral que también muy importante, para terminar si no hablan Ingles no importa le aseguro que estará con ustedes todo el camino y lograran como nosotros tener paz y que todas las llamadas paren.

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

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
