Environmental and natural resources lawyer | Apr 16

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have known Phil for 15 years and worked with him at two law firms - King & Spalding in Washington, D.C. and Hopping Green & Sams in Tallahassee, FL (where Phil was a summer associate while in law school). I have worked with numerous intelligent and skilled environmental attorneys throughout my career at those two firms and at Latham & Watkins (in Washington, D.C.) and Phil is one of the best and brightest that I have had the pleasure to call a colleague and friend."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
