Worst law firm ever

For 4 yrs they dragged my case only for them to get more money than me its ridiculous they lie to you gave me the run around and Johnny was busy for 4 yrs let them tell it until I post a review then he calls n tell me its a conflict to erase it or he would drop my case it was the truth as well as res...ponding to the review and lie on me I wanted the max only for them to end up with more money than me please run far away from this firm immediately. Rude and just down right now fighting for their client to get the best is an understatement

Total disappointment

Hired this office or firm to handle and take care of my case where I was hit by a guy texting and driving totaling my truck causing me to flip two times they failed to stay in contact with me I can never get in touch with them they give me a ride around and misled me into accept him something I was n...ot happy with I would not recommend these people to anyone if you care anything about what you should get back in return of you losing then these people have nothing for you because they will not get you anything but what helps them and deeper in debt

Horrible firm

Horrible experience..Worst firm and attorney ever. Never talked to actual attorney always assistants. Would NOT recommend.

Posted by Barbara | May 16, 2021 | Lawsuits & Disputes

I DO NOT WISH TO USE YOUR SERVICE!!!

I contacted Att. J. Phillips office to see if I wanted to have them represent in an accident case. I NEVER SPOKE WITH THE ATTORNEY. I gave the office representative my email address to send a document to me to sign to have them possibily represent me. Nonetheless, after reading the negative reviews, ...I decided that I did not wish to have them represent me. I told them that because of the negative reviews that I had read online, I did not need their assisstance. They emailed me a second time telling me that I needed to complete the document to allow them to represent me. ONCE AGAIN, I explained that I would not need their services. THEY CONTACTED ME AGAIN THROUGH EMAIL. I told them a third time. YOUR REVIEWS ARE BAD. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN BECAUSE I WILL SEE IT A HARASSMENT!!!! THE CONTACTED ME AGAIN!!!!!!!!! They will not stop emailing me a contract!!!! Please do not email them ....unless you want them to CONSTANTLY HARASS YOU!!!! i do not wish to use your services...

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.
