#TheBestLawyerinTampa

First off I would like to use this review to thank Mr. Paul Phipps and his staff for always being professional. His staff always reminded me a week a head of time prior to any court appearances on where to be and what time. I even received calls a day prior. My divorce was probably the worse divorce ...in Tampa. I felt as if the justice system had fail me. That was until I met Paul Phipps. Paul changed my life. My ex-wife had left the city of Tampa with my two children. Every attempt I made to get a resolution through a previous attorney had failed. Paul not only had a rehearing in my case but through mediation I was able to gain full custody of my son and 50/50 timesharing with my daughter. There were unclean hands in my divorce proceeding that was unbelievable to most but Paul Phipps knowledge of the law provided me justice. Monies was taken from my 401k illegally, marital assets were sold, overpayments were made for child support and ex-wife had been receiving an overage from my pension for 39 months. Guess what, I got all of my money back and these issues that was outstanding for over 4 years are now resolved. I am not sure if the lawyers actually read these reviews but I want Paul to know that I appreciate his integrity and honor in providing the best service to his clients. Words cannot describe how you changed my life. I will always be grateful for your help with getting my life back on track. I truly feel that I not only found the best attorney in Tampa but I have found a friend. We all know that good friends are hard to find. I am sure the people want to know about attorney fees. His fees are reasonable, he works with you on payment, he don't charge you unnecessarily, and he is worth every dollar you spend. As long as I live in Tampa Florida, Paul Phipps will be my attorney and if I move from this location I will always reach back for consultation. The highest rating given on this review is Excellent but my personal rating for Paul Phipps is Outstanding because his services is off the chart. I feel like I got my monies worth. I am a satisfy customer and I am willing to tell the world about your expertise. Thanks a million Paul for all that you do. God bless you and your family. I am providing my email with this review and anyone that has a question about obtaining Paul Phipps as your attorney don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks again Paul Phipps and staff.

I can be a real father to my daughter thanks to this man.

I highly recomend Mr. Phipps. I had a child custody / suppport case for which i tried to resolve by myself and filed a lot of paperwork and dragged for about a year and a half until my daughters mother started threatening me about resorting to extorsion and diffamation to get her way ( she wanted for... me to have supervised visitations every other weekend , wanted to move to tallahassee, wanted for me NOT to have decison making authority and wanted a $900.00 a month child support payment , she stopped working so that it would look that she had no income ). i looked at several other lawyers but their retainer was too high for me on my financial situation at the time .Mr. Phipps came recomended by a co worker of mine who had been represented by Phipps and won his case allowing him to have a 50/50 shared custody of his daughter ( which was my goal as well) Upon contacting Mr. Phipps his secretary was promt on scheduling a phone conference with him so he could look over my case free of charge to determine if he could help me. He listned and scheduled me into his office to look at the paperwork I had already filed. He was conpasionete and conserned, the hearing was in less than a week when i went to talk to him . he quickly worked with me on a retainer i could afford since i had filed a lot of the paperwork already correctly on my own . imediately ccontacted pinellas clerk of couirt and moved my hearing date re did my my child support calculations and imputed her minimun wage since she could not produce tax returns proving she didn't have an income or the inhability to work He prepared a portfolio which blew away the magistrate since everything he asked was in front of him before he asked for it (on the magistrates own words "i'm not used to this level of organization i wish all my cases for the rest of the day would be like this ") he navigated the magistrated through all the evidence and i was in and out of that courtroom in under 45 minutes with everything I asked for. Thanks to Mr. Phipps i'm able to see my daugher 3 days a week I have shared custody and an affortable and fair child support payement and the hablility to have a say so on the decisions that affect my daughters life ( i was not married to the mother so i had no parental rights on the eyes of the law before this aside from paying child support ) . All that and i got money left over on my retainer which he promptly refunded after my final judgment was received . If you want to make sure the court system doesn't rail road you, need someone that will work with you and that will be real about expectations and find the best way for you to approach your case without leaving you bank rupt . this is your lawyer .
