Got a Ticket? Don't look any further, Phil is YOUR guy!!!
Got a traffic violation in Foresyth county on GA 400. Contacted Phil for legal advice and hired his services to represent me in court.
Phil was extremely professional, efficient and successful in reaching a very reasonable outcome for me.
I filled out some information on their website. Was responded to very quickly. Took care of my case with very short notice. Very helpful and informative.

I come from a working class family and the first adult male not to swing a hammer to make money. My job is easy compared to what my father, uncles and grandparents do for a living. Knowing that, I have a tremendous amout of respect for what they do and take great pride that I am in a privileged position to help people through this line of work.
I am a devoted husband and father. When not working, I spend all my free time with my family and friends. I am a member of The Vine United Methodist Church where I volunteer every Sunday. My Faith, Family and Friendships are the most important things in my life. I am confident that fervor for those three components in my life further my abilities in representing my clients.
I am militant about my fitness. I work out 6-7 days a week and participate regularly in 5k's, 10k's, and half marathons. Having played baseball for 14 years, I love all outdoor sports and, when I get the time, love being on the golf course.
I am very active in pro bono projects to help the homless and needy and work hard to promote my own charity established along with 5 other church friends called The Big Give Golf Tournament ().
Everything I do in life, I do with 100% commitment. There is no reason to do it if you are not going to do it well. I live by that mantra.

The most helpful DUI pertained lawyer
Mr. Pilgrim did a great job in keeping in touch which I think is always extremely important during cases such as mine. He helped me learn a little more about the ins and outs of my case and informed me on all the possible terms. I was never left out of the picture. I would recommend him to any froend or family member that gets into a particular situation like mine anytime. I had a DUI and wanted a specific outcome to occur, he provided me the details on what I had to do on my part and he did his part. I couldn't ask for more and would definitely work with him again. Also another plus is that his quotes are outrageously reasonable considering the work he puts in compared to other lawyers in the nearby area.

Our Highest Recommendation!
My wife and I give Mr. Pilgrim our highest recommendation. A family member was involved in a traffic incident and was charged with multiple serious offenses. The charges seemed disproportionate to the accident, but we did not know how to respond. We were referred by a friend to Mr. Pilgrim. He listened to the details of the case and reviewed all paperwork. His quick assessment of the case based on his experience and expertise was that we needed an outside expert brought in immediately. The expert was able to determine facts of the case that eventually led to the dropping of charges.
We cannot say enough good things about how we were supported during this ordeal by Mr. Pilgrim. He was available throughout the process to answer questions and responded to inquiries quickly. His knowledge of the law provided us comfort while we waited for the wheels of justice to turn. In the end, Mr. Pilgrim’s knowledge, experience, competence, perseverance, and character led to the best of resolutions for our family. We are grateful for Mr. Pilgrim and his thorough preparation to handle our family’s legal problem, and we would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Knowledgeable, Helpful, Efficient
My son was arrested on a potential felony charge. When we met with Phil and explained my son's case, Phil carefully explained the law to us in terms we could understand. He also listened intently to the ins and outs of the situation, and pointed out elements of the event that could work in my son's favor resulting in the charge remaining a misdemeanor instead of being processed as a felony. Phil was realistic with us about what to expect, and was openly available to us when we had questions or concerns we needed addressed. He communicated with us directly throughout the entire process, and we never waited long for a detailed answer or reply. In addition to having exceptional knowledge of the law and the consequences to a variety of possible scenarios, he was understanding and supportive at a time when my son was confused and scared. The day that we went to court Phil's organization and hard work prior to going allowed us to be in and out of the courtroom in a much more reasonable amount of time than we expected. Because my son's file was so well put together, and because Phil's courtroom demeanor is so professional, we were not subjected to the run around that we were watching other people go through- even though they too had an attorney. We would recommend Phil's representation to anyone who finds themselves needing an attorney.

Philip is an excellent lawyer. He is very dependable and walked me through the entire process. He also made more time for me than he had to and answered all of questions thoroughly. Philip made me feel comfortable through the entire process and I genuinely felt he cared about me and the outcome of my case. He is the only lawyer I want representing me in the future and I will be recommending him to anyone who needs his services.

Absolute Best Legal Representation
Mr. Pilgrim is an amazing attorney who I wish I had found the first time I got into trouble. He was able to get me out of jail not only once but TWO times in less than a month while I was still on 1st offender felony probation with another felony charge. He worked with my probation officer and also my judge to get me the best possible outcome. From the first phone call Mr Pilgrim understood my situation and was ready to help. He is knowledgeable, professional, caring, personable, and very reasonably priced! Just an all around amazing lawyer. I had not even met with Mr Pilgrim and he already understood my situation because he asked the correct questions took the time to understand what my personal situation was. He always answered my questions and made sure I understood what was going on every step of the way. I, unfortunately, know what can happen when you choose the wrong lawyer and I am so happy with Mr Pilgrim, I wish I had found him sooner! Philip Pilgrim is who I would recommend to anyone who is looking for the absolute best legal representation.

Phil Pilgrim
I was referred to Phil Pilgrim by a close friend. He was very thorough and diligent in reaching the outcome I desired. His knowledge and relationships with the county I was in, gave me peace of mind. He is quick to respond and never leaves you guessing what is going on in your case. If I ever need another attorney, Mr. Pilgrim will be my guy.

"I endorse this lawyer. Phil Pilgrim is a gentleman, a professional, a warrior and a winner. He was a great prosecutor and is now an even better defense attorney. He is always prepared and his knowledge of evidence and the criminal code is excellent. As for the courtroom, Phil has the "X" factor. You can't teach it -- although you may be able to refine it. Phil knows how to pick and engage a jury -- they love him at trial. His courtroom techniques and professionalism mix nicely with the "nasty dog" attitude you have to muster up from time to time to be a warrior for your client. Phil is a master in all areas of criminal law, especially DUI defense. Phil has had several very nice strings of "Not Guilty" jury verdicts since he became a defense attorney. In conclusion, Phil Pilgrim is the kind of attorney you want defending your criminal case."
