Not satisfied
I was very disappointed in the job he DID NOT do. Would not recommend. I feel like he spent more time trying to get approval from SSA to get paid then he spent on my case.

Disability :
A very personable and charismatic man - very likeable but not very good at his job. He told us that my wife would have no problem winning her disability case with the multitude of problems she has but he could not deliver.

great attorney
Always a good listener and is genuinely concerned about his client. He is also a veteran and served honorably.

Real Deal
Mr Phillips is a excellent and professional lawyer. He has never turned down a case for me or my family. Big or small he takes on the case from speeding tickets to child custody. Most recent I was a victim of identity theft and he took care of it with no problem and I thank him and his team for a job...
