Crystal Phillips was an excellent attorney to work with for my divorce. I was divorced from a foreign national and Crystal was able to guide me through all the extra hurdles that come with that situation and we were able to finalize the case very quickly. She was very attentive and answered all of my myriad questions. I was very happy with the service I received.
I received a positive outcome I was looking for in a person in my position in my case. Ms. Crystal Phillips and her assistance both were just a phone call away. Ms. Phillips was able to assist me with the correct paperwork, financial statements, and other legal documents. If I had any questions Ms. Phillips was able to give me the correct answer. I had an emergency and could make one of the appointments Ms. Phillips was able to show up and fill in for me. I do not believe in Divorce but if you need a great attorney to assist you ask for Ms. Crystal Phillips and her assistance.

Divorce
From my initial consultation with Crystal I knew she understood my situation and showed great empathy. I immediately retained her and she and her assistant Karen where immediately on the case. We spoke about my concerns and expectations. Crystal provided me all my options to receive the best results for me. I loved her way of communicating and I highly recommend her. This is not an inexpensive choice but when facing life changing moments the best representative is imperative. Thank you Crystal! The new chapter of my life has begun.

Grateful to have Crystal Representing Me
This Law Firm is above and beyond all others in Tampa. Crystal Phillips has been representing me for quite some time. She is an attorney who knows what she is doing, professional, and always returns my calls and email promptly.
She has the knowledge that I need to make the right decision. She is very compassionate and truly cares about her clients.
I am grateful to have her representing me.

An Excellent Attorney
I highly recommend Ms. Phillips and her firm, Ayo and Iken as she and they provided me excellent legal services. Their combined expertise and experience laid the foundation for sound footing in the courtroom resulting in an exceptionally good outcome. I have found Ms. Phillips and her firm to be exceptionally ethical and accountable as they treated me with respect, kindness and compassion throughout the course of our case. I add that my questions and concerns were addressed and resolved in a timely manner (which I greatly appreciated) and that everyone I encountered within the Group was proficient in their respective role.

Amazing Attorney
Crystal is very professional, intelligent, and down to earth. She is truly an Amazing Attorney. She will do whatever it takes to complete your case. From beginning to end she never stopped fighting, or disappointed me in any way. During my divorce case, she taught me alot. The biggest learning lesson was "there is no real "winning" during a divorce." In the end you have a peace of mind. And when young children are affected.... it's very important for the lines of communication to be open with both parties.

Compassionate Attorney
Crystal helped me with a very messy post-divorce trial. It was a very dark time in my life without her expertise and compassion I could not have gotten through it. I will forever be grateful for her
kindness and the ethical way she handled my case.

Response from Crystal PhillipsFebruary 15, 2021
We are sorry you are not happy with your representation. It is understandable you are upset that we did not refund your trial fee because legal representation is expensive and you probably believe you paid money for the actual results. But attorneys cannot, and do not charge for results. We charge for time, preparation, and the responsibility of taking up your case. A trial requires many, many months of preparation. We must gather evidence by various means, study it, and plan on how it will be used at trial in an effort to achieve your goals. It is a huge and costly job. Whether the trial was conducted or not - we must block out weeks of time for preparation and court hearings. That time is lost because we must exclude activities for any other clients. Sometimes we turn down other clients because we do not want to become overloaded. We take on a huge responsibility for accepting a trial. Frequently a case settles before trial and it is canceled. One thing people do not realize is that cases only settle because the other side sees thorough trial preparation and suddenly becomes less confident of an overwhelming victory at trial.
We did our best to respect your money. But when an event causes us to spend hundreds of hours of prep, requires that we block out weeks of time, and then cancels for the very last 8-16 hours of court time, there is no money left to refund. With that said we apologize for disturbing you and wish you well.
