Philip Manley Brown motor cycle accident

On august 21, 2015 I was in a horrible motor cycle accident. I broke or fractured over 20 bones. Phillip brown and his awesome staff helped me from start to finish. Never once complained about me calling to much, or asking to many questions. They were always there for me. Great people to work with, t...hey fought tooth and nail to help me. All the details aside, in the end I came out on top. I wouldn't go anywhere else for legal help. 10 stars out of 5. Highly recommend! PS... Meghan you are the best!

Phil Rocks!

I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case. Phil and everyone else at the office was very helpful. They took care of everything and made it as easy as possible. They were also great at responding and keeping me up to date as the case progressed. I would recommend Phil to anyone.

Auto Accident

Attorney Phil Brown represented me in a case concerning an auto accident with substantial personal injuries. During the entire process, I never felt the need to call his office to check in on the expedition of the case as I was kept abreast of the progress at least bi-weekly by his incredibly profes...sional staff, in particular, Meghan Blount. One of the things I really liked about Phil is that he is honest and straightforward, which led me to be disheartened about my case at first. But after Phil and I talked about all of the details of the accident, my injuries, and I presented him with photos; he knew he had something with which to really work. Not only did he come through in a timely manner, he was successful on my behalf financially as well. I absolutely cannot finish this review without mentioning Meghan Blount again. She is an absolute doll (professionally) and an incredible "detective". I had Medical Payment coverage on my Auto policy. They had paid my medical bills to the policy's limit, and I thought I had reviewed their payments thoroughly and completely. I did, however, have a balance left owing to a medical group to the tune of $500. After many calls to this medical group, letting them know that the money would be coming when I received my settlement (unfortunately, I Iost my job due to the injuries sustained in the accident), they proceeded to turn me over to a collection agency. Well that did not set well with me, nor did it set well with Meghan. After hours of research on my Medical Payments Claims Payout list, Meghan discovered that my Auto Insurance Company had NOT paid a claim they stated they had, and for which I had been turned over to collections! I call that ON POINT on her part! I had researched the very same thing, and missed it! My point is, Phil and his entire staff is quite amazing. They are professional, upfront, honest and quite frankly, in my opinion, have the most integrity of any attorney's office that I know of! I would use them again in a heartbeat, and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone I know. In fact, I have ALREADY recommended them. Honestly, I had not heard of Attorney Phil Brown before this incident. A friend of mine who is also an attorney, but is a trial lawyer referred me to Phil; hence, he thought Phil was the best choice for my situation. Needlessly to say, I have thanked him numerous times. So, if you need an attorney to represent you or a loved one, friend, etc. for a car accident or any kind of personal injury type incident, PLEASE give Phil Brown, Attorney at Law a call! I PROMISE you, you will NOT regret it! Oh, and his "detective", Meghan Blount, is an absolute bonus! She can figure out things that most people cannot! The rest of his staff is absolutely top notch as well!!! I enjoyed working/dealing with each and every single one of them. How many people can truly say they ENJOYED working with their Attorney and his staff? Well, I can!! Choose Phil Brown, Attorney at Law. You will not regret it!!

"Phil is an excellent attorney. He is extremely bright, but, most importantly, genuinely cares about his clients. And, if you get to know him, he has a wonderful sardonic sense of humor, which will make working with him a treat. If he is one of the attorneys on your list of possible hires, meet him in person; you will enjoy the experience and probably hire him on the spot."
