"I fully agree with the other attorneys endorsing Jon. I've known Jon since before he started law school, and opposed him when he was a prosecutor. As a prosecutor he was always fair but also very thorough. Jon has some special skills not commonly found in a lot of trial counsel. As a computer expert, Jon has a great grasp on the scientific and math issues that will often elude many other attorneys but these skills are very important in many types of cases."

Mr. Phillips is approachable and well spoken, allowing him to easily work on his clients behalf against even the most tenacious prosecutors, and explain the charges and proceedings to his clients in an understandable and helpful way. I would go to Mr. Phillips for his thoughts on any question of the law, and how can you go wrong with an attorney named Jonathan?"
