High Praises for Phil Mccurdy

I’ve known Phil for close to eight years, since he represented me through a difficult divorce. As are most divorces, it was an emotional and complicated situation, and Phil handled it with absolute professionalism, empathy, and excellent guidance. He led me through every step with clear information a...nd expertise. Since then, he’s become more than just my attorney...he’s been a trusted friend and advisor. Anytime I’ve needed legal guidance, even on matters outside of family law, he’s been there. Always thoughtful, responsive, and helpful. If you’re looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about his clients, knows the law inside and out, and brings integrity and humanity to his work, I can’t recommend Phil Mccurdy highly enough.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience

Before I found Phil I had contacted another lawyer about getting my emergency hearing pushed through. He was dragging his feet so I asked a family member if he knew anyone and he got me in touch with Phil. When I had my consult with Phil he told me that he can write up a document to be filed that... same day. Sure enough he called me about an hour later to inform me that he had drafted the document and had it ready for me to take down to the courthouse. Phil was extremely professional and took care of all of my needs for my case, he even attempted to help communicate with the previous lawyer that I was working with. I was extremely pleased with how much effort he put into my case, his communications with me, and how he showed genuine care for me as a client. I would highly recommend Phil to anyone looking for someone to represent them in court.

Robert

I am a small business owner and Mr.McCurdy has represented my company and myself on several occasions. He has also always been available to dispense advice, keeping me and my business informed on all the laws, rules and regulations that apply. He has also represented me in court. This is where he r...eally excels, in a court of law. Very impressive. If you have to go to court, you will want this man on your side, lest he be on the other side and against you. The man is a winner. There was one time when I asked for his help on a case and he informed me that I would be better served using another attorney. He then contacted another attorney and got the ball rolling for me. This shows integrity. Great Lawyer !

Locked and Loaded...for you in Family Court Matters

Phil has and will continue to handle all my legalities. Bringing a widely recognized and respected legal family name into the courts along with his own decades of experience, connections, focus and tenacity, Phil delivers swift attention, an excellent legal mind and dedication time after time. Not b...eing shy about telling me what I don't want to hear but what I need to hear is exactly who I want to have my back in this area. Legal proceedings are no place for client emotionalism and Phil is always level headed and fully prepared which keeps me out of selling myself short. We were able to avoid Divorce Court due to his Mediation skills and that was a huge relief (as well as not easy) with a defendant as erratic and unrealistic as my ex was. All clients I have referred to Phil have been most satisfied and grateful. Phil is great for a case by case situation though I feel safer knowing he has a roster full of long term relationships (clients) including myself, friends and family.

Attorney gone wrong!

His retainer fee is three times the average rate for the area he practices in. On several occasions he was supposed to contact the opposing attorney in the case and did not. Entirely incorrect information on the legal division of an inheritance that is part of the case. Out right lied to opposing ...attorney. He knew the absolute facts and lied 100% to opposing attorney. When an attorney lies to a client and turns around and fabricates lies to tell opposing counsel it is reprehensible .
