Whenever we texted him with a question, his response time was amazing! He explains things to us clearly so we are confident in which direction we should proceed.

Jason was a lifesaver!!
I worked with Jason a little over a year to resolve a lawsuit an attorney office pursued against me. I’ve never been sued before and I was researching the best attorneys in my area and Jason popped up. I called about 7pm on a Friday not, I expected to leave a vm and have him return my call the following week. To my surprise he was still working and assured me he would be able to assist me with this matter.
After months of going back and forth with the other lawyer Jason did settle the case for me. I no longer owed the debt and they dropped there suit against me. I recommend him for anyone and he is someone I will refer to in case of any legal needs.

Jason is very professional & Diligent
I worked with Jason for almost a year through a family court battle. This was my first experience with anything court related and needing a lawyer. He was very professional, knowledgeable, Diligent, and had great communication skills. Anything that was needed or that I did not understand he took the time to explain to me exactly what was happening with my case and what the next steps are going to be. I appreciated how he’d continuously work on my case and kept my best interest/wants aligned. He was very courteous and reliable when I would reach out to communicate with him and always responded in a timely manner. Jason really listened to what I wanted and understood every case/client needs are different. I appreciated how honest he remained with me about my options throughout my case. I really am glad I chose him to represent me and am very satisfied with the outcome due to his help. I really appreciated how unlike other lawyers I consulted with that he was attentive to my case and was actually producing results and never talked down to me when I would need something explained.

A really GREAT lawyer!
Mr. Phillips has helped me on two relocation matters with my daughter. The first time he helped me get her back to Florida after my ex relocated to MA. with her without any notice. This was back in 2013. A few years after (2015) I relocated to Italy with my Italian wife. My ex and I had a verbal agreement about our daughter as to when she was going to visit me in the summers and in Xmas. When I left my ex change her address, phone number and emails several times. Three painful years went by that I did not hear from or know anything about my daughter. I finally found out where she live and I quickly contacted Mr. Phillips to once again to help me out.
What I loved about him is that he was honest, reliable, responded quickly to my emails, he was reasonable, told it like it was and he believed in me. I aimed to bring my daughter to Italy to live. Even though he told me that my daughter visiting me in Italy is more likely to happend he also told me that it's also not impossible.
He was aggressive when he needed to be, informative and above all very professional.
I was always positive about what I wanted and he was positive with me. Which to me that made a HUGE difference on my Pareting Time Sharing Plan case. Yes, it did take quite some time to get to the end of the matter. But in that time I kept on piling up evidence (Mr. Phillips advise) on how my daughter's best interest was here (in Italy), with me, my wife and her two siblings. I am grateful to say that once again Mr. Phillips has won my case and that my daughter is happily living in Italy. She has all the contact she wants and needs with her mother and will be seeing her on summer vacations.
I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Jason Brian Phillips as your attorney. He is the best lawyer ever!
Thank you Mr. Phillips, you changed my life as well as my daughter's life for the better!!!! :)

Highly recommended
Mr. Phillips represented me in a paternity case. He is aggressive and has a very strong presence in Court. I highly recommend him. He knows what he is doing and he goes above and beyond for his clients! I am very satisfied with the attention and detail he provides. Based on my experience with other attorneys, Mr. Phillips is head and shoulders above the rest.

Best lawyer in Town!
Mr. Phillips represented me in my Divorce and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. What I thought what was going to be impossible, Mr. Phillips made it look effortless. My husband abandoned our family and Mr. Phillips and his staff was there for me. It was a difficult time. Mr. Phillips is knowledgeable and aggressive. This was the difference. He doesn’t nickel and dime on every minute spent communicating or working on your case. He’s always available when you need him and his response time to emails and phone calls is impeccable. He’s always thinking ahead and he works hard to get the results you want.

A True Godsend
We had been given the runaround by our mortgage company for MONTHS. Although we agreed to enroll in their disaster/hurricane relief program, the bank mistakenly placed the account in default. Each month was counted as another missed payment. Every phone representative gave us a different answer. We were so frustrated, we were literally ready to walk away from our home of 14 years.
Jason took on our case and fought for us as if it were his own family he was protecting. He took time to answer our questions and explain options in detail (even after work, when it was more convenient for us). Because of his knowledge of real estate law, he was able to get their attention. In the end, the bank owed US money. We never would have gotten anywhere without his expertise and persistence.

Incredibly Sharp Lawyer HOA Issues
I had a problem with an HOA in the Orlando area. I got sued around Christmas 2018. It took me contacting 20 different lawyers in this site to find him. He is a professional. I will tell you, he gave me a free consultation over the phone and in 5 minutes he had a hold of my summons in Orange County, figured out the problems and saw that I had a valid case. Ladies and Gents, Mr Phillips is one in a thousand. By early February 2019, we had won the case. And instead of me having to pay the Crooks of my HOA, Mr. Phillips figured it out and sued this HOA and WE WON!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. Phillips is professional, he returns all calls and texts about my concerns within a day. And before the HOA knew what hit them, they were instead trying to defend themselves....
I will tell you, most of the lawyers in this site will not return your calls, want money up front or have a secretary call you back.
If you find him, and he tells you he can help you, HE MEANS IT.
I recommend Mr. Phillips any day. what a sharp individual.
Thank you

He helped when no one else would
I had a problem with a debt collection company (a few thousand). They were hassling me for more than 10 years. They tried wage garnishment, then coming after my assets. I was able to stop the wage garnishments myself but them coming after assets was an entirely different matter. I consulted with multiple attorneys and they all said the same thing.... "Just negotiate a settlement with the debt collector. The account is to old to fight and there is nothing they can do to help". I kept trying to find help and I came across Mr. Phillips, we talked for over an hour about the situation. Mr. Phillips came up with an idea to help so I hired him and we tried it. He reached out to the debt collector and began the process. Within 2 months we reached an agreement not only getting the debt cleared off but money was returned to me. At anytime I had any questions all I had to do was email or even send a quick text to Mr. Phillips and he would respond promptly even on the weekends. If I ever had any other issues like this again I would definitely contact Mr. Phillips again. Thank you for everything you did for me!!

Jason was great! He kept me informed and educated. His services were very affordable and realistic. He made me feel confident throughout the case and was organized and addressed all my concerns, as well as other details that I hadn’t considered at trial. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the the process and outcome.

Great Attorney
Mr. Phillips was one of the best attorneys to work with and I had my share due to constant litigations from a divorce.
He was professional, took the time to listen and respond. Always follows up which is rare today since other attorneys will push your case back for another that they might consider more important.
I would highly recommend Mr. Phillips to anyone looking for a knowledgeable attorney and someone who would fight for you. In cases where others are trying to use the legal system to take advantage of others for their own personal gain he is definitely the attorney you would like to hire.
It's good to know that there are still good people out there .

Careful, thorough and effective
Jason has been my attorney for the past 5 years. I had originally consulted him for a credit matter which he resolved to my satisfaction. Since that time he has represented me as a family attorney.
At the time I consulted him for my family law case I was being beat by a system I did not understand. My ex was trying to relocate my daughter against my will and filed ridiculous lies with the court in order to move her to another city. I did not think I would have a chance of fighting her after speaking to several other attorneys.
Jason reviewed my case and offered excellent advice. He took time with me to learn about my needs and to formulate an effective strategy. At the outset Jason was successful and I will always be very grateful to him for that when the judge ruled in my favor. This was the first time I had beaten my ex in court after she continually abused and manipulated the system. Jason allowed the court to see what was really going on and my exes case was summarily dismissed.
For the past few years I have been fighting a case with my ex about property which we were still holding jointly. Jason presented a very clear clever and precise game plan to protect my rights as a property owner and to make my ex pay her fair share.
He has done a magnificent job paying great attention to detail and planning for nuances in the law as well as carefully understanding what was written in our previous judgements so the court could fully understand the problem. Jason took the time to understand every aspect of a complicated case so that he knows it fully and is ready to respond to any challenges that occur along the way.
When I walk into court with Jason it is easy to feel confident and fully prepared and I know without a shred of doubt that I am better prepared than the other side.
I am very thankful to have an attorney as good as Jason and wish her were my attorney when I was going through the divorce.
He is a superb person and a great lawyer. I recommend him to anyone with no reservation whatsoever.

Great professional attorney!
Mr.Phillips is a wonderful, caring attorney who really goes above and beyond to get you what you want. He was a great listener and was a wonderful advocate for my family. One of his best assets is trying to work with the other side so that you can avoid expensive litigation before a judge. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a reasonably priced attorney who is not out for the almighty dollar. You can tell he loves what he does and he is a great attorney to have in our corner.

Great Lawyer to work with. Very professional, and doesn't mess around when it comes to fathers / husbands being the victims of ex wife / ex girlfriend trying to take advantage of you through the court system. I recommend Jason to anyone dealing with a family matter, especially if it involves a ex not allowing you the right as a father to see your children. I am very grateful having had Jason by my side representing me with awesome results in my favor.

2003 thru 2014 Child Custody Case-Vexatious litigator obssesive father
Mr. Phillips took a case with a history from 2003 to 2014 and accept to help me. Not any case! Case with history of domestic violence allegations, false allegations of mental illness, calls to D C F etc.
When I call other attorneys and they log in in the case docket they were hesitant...CASE HAS MORE THAN 500 ENTRIES...
I was working Pro-se most of the time because since 2003 till October 2014 I spend a lot of money on attorneys fees.
Mr. Phillips gave me hope when I DIDN'T HAVE ANY AND MY TRUST IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM WAS GONE COMPLETELY, because all the abuse the father of my son put me thru over and over filing frivolous petitions and abusing the legal system since 2003.
The father of my son is a person that doesn't let go, he was abusive and controlling during our relationship and after divorce was WORST. He contact my family, then my friends and then start using my son.
I walk thru hell with this case. I lost all hopes, I became really angry against the justice system and lost completely TRUST. So I start letting my anger out thru letters and contacting, Supreme Court, letting the Judges know I don't trust them at all and copy this emails to the judges, Supreme Court, Florida Bar and news channels for the last 4 years. The last petition the father of my son enter was based on false allegations of physical abuse.
He got his attorney, and a Guard ad Litem . I was angry at the court and of course I let the Guard ad Litem I don't trust her at all, and stated to the Guard ad Litem that the father of my son is a manipulator and she will work on his favor. Case was DIFFICULT, The Guard ad Litem report TRASHED ME, Trial date arrive October 2014 . With what the Guard ad Litem write on that report my visitation should be 2 seconds every month! Mr. Phillips PREPARED FOR THE CASE , smack, crushed, knock them! They way he present the evidence was amazing!!! He was ready! He transform in to another person! He was concentrated and one by one knocked them down!!! I know he impressed judge SALLY KEST with his professionalism, this person make me BELIEVE IN JUSTICE AGAIN, it was more than 10 years dealing with a person that is obsessed and has the power to keep draggin me to court!
I gave Mr Phillips my emails and photos and with that he HELP ME AT THE TRIAL!!
WITH ALL THE ODDS AGAINST US WE WALK OUT VICTORIOUS, I COULDNT BELIEVE IT!!!!!
MR PHILLIPS swallow the GUARD AD LITEM and all the other party witnesses!!!
Their ATTORNEY NEED TO STAND UP AND ''RETIRE'' A LIE SHE STATED ON A PETITON!!! It was surreal!!!!
Mr . Phillips took a case really difficult and I know I made it worst by overly exercising my freedom of speech and convinced the GREAT JUDGE SALLY KEST that my ex husband is simply harassing, that im not an abusive mother and that I don't deserve they take more time from my parenting time! I have not enjoy motherhood as I was expecting because this constant litigation present in my life, my son is already 15 years old!! I'm looking forward to enjoy the rest in PEACE , I will never have the correct words to express how GRATEFUL I am with Mr. Phillips! I keep in contact with him he ALWAYS ANSWER THE CALLS AND IF HE CANT HE WILL DO IT LATER ON, NEVER FAILS, AMAZING PERSON. THANK YOU MR PHILLIPS FOR ACCEPTING THIS BIZARRE JOURNEY AND WALK ME THRU, I WILL NEVER FORGET OCTOBER 2014!! JUSTICE WAS SERVED AND YOU SHOW THEM HOW !!! ;)

Highly recommend without any hesitation.
As a former family law paralegal in the midst of a divorce, I knew I had to retain an attorney that was not only competent but unwilling to settle for mediocre results in my case. Attorney Phillips is not your average attorney who simply collects a retainer and throws your file to a legal assistant to fill in the blanks on forms then shows up for hearings with no real care. He went above and beyond in my case providing me with superior service unlike any attorney I have encountered. He never left any communication without a response which spoke volumes to me regarding how he cared for my case. Attorney Phillips cares and without a doubt has earned my respect as an esteemed counselor at law.

Professional, Patient, Articulate!
He is the second attorney I considered hiring after the first one hurt my pocket book and decided not to finish my case and protect my rights as a client. Mr. Phillips helped me regain a good amount of trust in the legal system that not every attorney is only after your pocket book.He is someone that you would definitely want to talk to for great advice and he is trustworthy. For a divorce case you want someone who is very patient and he doesn't make you feel like every single decision to ask questions or talking to him is a money decision to make. He made sure to sit down with you to analysis the level of complexity in your case and his analysis helps you to know what outcome to expect so there were no surprises. I highly recommend that you give him a try, his rate is very reasonable from all the research I have done.
