Exceptional Support During a Complex Career Transition

Working with Romney was one of the best decisions I could have made during a challenging professional transition. He brought an incredible level of expertise, professionalism, and strategic thinking to my situation. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to more than double my severance package while ...also preserving my integrity and professional reputation as a long-standing employee. When the company attempted to shape a narrative that did not align with my contributions, Romney ensured that my story—and my value—were properly represented. Throughout the process, he was calm, knowledgeable, and extremely effective. His ability to advocate firmly while maintaining professionalism gave me both confidence and peace of mind. I am truly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone navigating a similar situation.

Attorney Romney M. Phillips acquires a favorable severance package from an International Congolmerate

Attorney Phillips was retained to provide legal services for an employment services severance package negotiation. The employer, a well known a international conglomerate, failed to provide a fair and just severance package in that they never had a discussion about the terms. Simpliy stated, I was... "TOLD" what?, how? and when? the terms of 'this package' would be implemented. Recognizing that terms of the severance package was unfair and unjustly crafted, I reached out to Attorney Phillips for his guidance. He immediately went into providing the dynamic services he has always provided. I have retained his legal services a number of times over the past decade and the results are always favorable. Inasmuch, he thoroughly researched my case on the merits of the issues at hand, superiorly communicated the facts of what constituted a different severance package based on my employment tenure and stellar performances to my former employer, and created an unrelenting posture on what would be a fair and just severance package on my behalf as a General Manager at this company. Attorney Phillips' focused negotiations led to a spectacular outcome for me! I am indeed thrilled ...

Excellent legal assistance

Last month I was changing a job and Mr. Romney M. Phillips helped me in review my non-compete and non-disclosure (NDA). With his recommendation and advice, I was able to make a sound decision. His availability at any time and helping from his heart, not just for work, was invaluable. His positive ...attitude and straightforwardness was amazing. I definitely recommend Mr. Romney M. Phillips to my family, friends and others who may need legal assistance.
