Hired for divorce attorney

Hired him as my divorce attorney 17 years ago, I did not know my rights my divorce was handled horribly. My ex husband passed away 2 years ago went to collect what I was entitled to & found out Phillip McAlister never filed the papers that I paid $500 for, so I lost everything!!!! Called to talk to P...hillip McAlister and his reply was quote ( Oops I dropped the ball ) then I set up a meeting with him and he told me that he was financially disabled to help me out at the moment because his secretary embezzled his money, I cannot afford another attorney to sue him he has made my future very unaffordable, he has never show any restitution for what he has done, very highly not recommended

Replied last August 19, 2019

While my recollection of these events is different than your own, I am deeply saddened that you feel I let you down. It is always the practice of this office to follow through with all matters our clients pay us to do.

Custody Consultation

I met Mr. McCalister, while searching for a custody attorney. I'm going through a divorce and have a very complicated custody case. Philip McCalister cares a great deal about helping other people, it's not just about a paycheck to him. As far as attorneys go, Mr. McCalister is one of the most sin...cere that I've met. He took his time listening to me. I didn't feel like I was being rushed out the door. He was very respectful, and I felt like I was looked upon as an absolute equal during my appointment with him. In my opinion, Philip McCalister is well suited for family law. My basis for that opinion , is how Philip McCalister acted when I spoke about my 4 children. I would absolutely recommended Philip McCalister , to anyone in need of a custody attorney.

Smooth quick divorce

I started my divorce using a mail in service to generate documents. There was a bump in the road so I decided to look for a local lawyer. I found and hired Phil to help me close it out. After hiring Phil the process went extremely smooth and quick. It was also very affordable. Phil and Jackie bot...h responded quickly every time and were great to work with! They kept great communication the whole time as well and explained every piece of the process as needed. If I need a lawyer in the future, I will be going back to Phil for sure and I'd recommend you do as well!

Mr. Kens Divorce

Hired Philip to handle my divorce settlement, from the first contact and throughout the entire process Mr. McCalister was intimate with my concerns and need of understanding. His professional guide and knowledge of the law was instrumental in my stability. Philip was like family and a friend th...at was always available for me without restriction. His legal advice was sound, to the point, l always knew my options, and he fought for them. I recommend McCalister to anyone who needs a dedicated and sympathetic, yet stern and driven, lawyer to set a consultation meeting up, it will be the best decision you will make to find closure.

Phil is a good guy...His secretary is phenomenal.

My husband and I filed Chapter 7 with Phil and had him settle an estate. Although we decided to convert the chapter 7 to a chapter 13 when the trustee became aggressive, I do not regret working with Phil. He took a lot of time to educate my husband and I about the process, and was passionate about he...lping our family. As far as the estate goes, documents had lightening quick turn around time, and required processes were done ASAP. This office is run like a well oiled machine.
