Excellent lawyer

I hired Paul Phipps in May 2011, as I was going through a messy divorce. He helped me with a difficult divorce. He was extremely supportive and gave me the confidence I needed to get through the most traumatic experience of my life. He was always well prepared and knowledgeable. He always was avail...able to answer my questions and offer guidance through this most trying episode in my life. His professionalism, dedication and commitment to me as his client was commendable. He was caring, trustworthy and fair. Paul Phipps is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney, with a caring heart. He is an excellent communicator who keeps you well informed during the entire process. He worked diligently to get a fair equitable marital agreement. I am very pleased with the end result and highly recommend Paul Phipps to anyone. I trust his legal counsel and have already recommended him to three women going through divorce. I cannot thank him enough for all he did for me and my daughters during a very difficult time.

I was very pleased and will recommend him to every one that I know , hands down.

Highly Recommended

My former attorney Paul J. Phipps helped me with my divorce case. I was battling a simple divorce with a spouse that was not making it anything but simple. Mr. Phipps had guided me in the proper steps on how to handle the divorce in the most cost effective and speedy turn around. I felt that Mr. ...Phipps went out of his way to to assist me not just because I was a paid client but he seemed to genuinely care about my best interest and understood what I was wanting and needed. I would recommend Mr. Phipps to all of my friends and family in the matters of any legal advice or service they might need , as well as using him again for myself in the future if needed. He was extremely organized as well as extremely knowledgeable and I always felt comfortable and knew I was in great hands. He was all around a great lawyer and a great person.

Affordable and Attentive

When I first met Paul Phipps I was desperate to solidify my parental rights. I didn't have a lot of money and even less faith in the legal system. I was afraid I would forever be a "weekend dad" (or worse) to my daughter. Her mother and I couldn't agree to anything and I really needed help. All I wan...ted was an equal part in my daughter's life, and thanks to having the truth and this lawyer, that's exactly what I got. It wasn't easy or quick but it was worth it and I give Paul a lot of credit for helping to make that happen. From the beginning Paul was very easy to talk to. He's a great listener and source of advice. I never had a problem with getting in touch with him, he never missed an appointment, and was always on time. I felt like he was truly on my side and genuinely cared about doing the right thing for me and my family. His retainer fee was fair and he allowed me to make monthly installments to pay my bill as we went along. He gave me opportunities to do some of my own legwork to save money rather than just doing it himself to get paid. I never once felt like he was just trying to get more money from me. This was, in my opinion, a long court battle and I got what I paid for. In court, he kicked ass! He was able to anticipate the opposing lawyers actions and he was right on top of it. He was prepared and truly professional. He never fumbled or hesitated. That day in court I really felt justice. I have recommended Paul to friends and co-workers and will continue to do so. Custody battles can get really tough, Paul will help you get through it.

Best Divorce Attorney in Tampa

Paul represented me in my divorce which involved custody of a 6 year old child. As most, my divorce was enormously tragic and embarrassing for me. Of course, I never expected to be in any situation as a single mom. From the moment I met Paul he made me feel comforted, understood and most important...ly supported. He was empathetic to each and every concern I posed. He was never impatient or too busy to listen to my concerns, and I had many. As a strong female who hit rock bottom, I needed someone who had solutions and empathy, not sympathy or empty promises. Paul exceeded my expectations from day one. He returned my phone calls and emails on the same day. He even facilitated concluding my entire divorce within 6 months! I have never regretted hiring Paul Phipps. I am currently 1.5 years out from the day my divorce was final and I have never been less than satisfied with the results of my settlement. What I needed in mediation was a persistent, strong, supportive attorney and Paul was stronger than I expected. I often hear things like, “Wow, you really got the better deal out of your divorce!”. I credit that to Paul Phipps. After you have lived through the torment of realizing your husband wasn’t who you believed him to be and all the accompanying truths that lead to divorce, knowing that you got everything out of a divorce settlement is the sweetest justice. I can honestly say that having Paul retained as my legal representation felt more like having a strong, intelligent friend standing up for me and what was right. Unfortunately, I have needed Paul’s assistance since my divorce was final, for multiple violations of my parenting plan. In each occasion he exhibited the same caring, considerate, empathetic character that he encompasses. I would recommend Paul Phipps to everyone and anyone who experiences a divorce. I have even tried to persuade Paul to assist me in legal matters outside of his expertise!!! Of course, completely in character, he offered to help me find someone who could help. Just because he cares. You don’t find many attorneys like Paul Phipps.
