Outstanding Lawyer

If you need a personal injury lawyer I can highly recommend Charles “Chuck” Philips. He just won a case for me and I was very impressed with his legal skills and his caring personality. He doesn’t advertise because he relies on satisfied clients, like me, to personally recommend him to others. My per...sonal recommend is sincere. Advertisements are written by ad agencies and may have nothing to do with the truth.

Mr. Phillips came highly recommended and we're so happy for that. He handled our car accident case so well from the beginning. He kept us in the loop and let us know what to expect step by step. He answered all our questions with patience and we never doubted his dedication. I definitely recommend ...him and his efficient staff.

Going the extra mile for their clients

I'd highly recommend Chuck and his entire team at Philips and Raaymakers Law. They did a great job when we needed them the most. Sharon and Chuck both had excellent communication throughout the process. They treated us like family. Thanks for everything!

Insurance claim

Chuck and his team were great to work with. Great communication, kept me informed of the progress of my claim and he successfully won my claim. I wish I had called them sooner.

Great man, excellent lawyer!

I sought Chuck’s expertise after being in an auto accident. He referred me to great doctors to receive treatment for my injuries. He also handled the insurance companies for me. I was even able to walk away with an excellent settlement that was far greater than expected. His partner, attorney Raaymak...ers, is also wonderful. If you’re in need of assistance due to an automobile accident or injury, Philips & Raaymakers is the absolute best choice, by far. Thank you, Chuck!

"I endorse this lawyer for personal injury and any sort if insurance matter. Chuck used to represent large insurance companies, but now uses that expertise to help his clients. I can confidently send anyone to Chuck and Sarah's firm and know they will be treated as family. You will hear this echoed from judges, fellow attorneys, Florida Bar leadership, and community leaders. I tell my clients "don't call Morgan and Morgan, call Chuck and Sarah"."

Personal injury lawyer | May 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Chuck personally handles all aspects of his cases, and his support staff is exceptional with clients. I have referred cases to him for many years and have never been disappointed with an outcome. I had worked with other personal injury lawyers before my first case with Chuck, but none were as good as Chuck at educating the client about the process or his dedication to their case. He is a true professional who has worked both the defense and plaintiff sides of personal injury cases, so he has a realistic perspective of a new matter from the beginning. He will spend as much time as needed to answer questions and explain what is required. My staff enjoys working with Chuck when he comes to my office in Inverness for consultations with clients, and I look forward to many more years of using his knowledge and experience to benefit our clients. He is a true Rotarian and has become a treasured friend."

He stays in touch with his each client. They will always know what is happening on their case. His integrity is above question. He is an excellent attorney and a credit to our profession."

"Chuck is an ethical, caring and thorough attorney. He is a credit to the profession. I worked with Chuck as co-counsel in a guardianship. His fees were reasonable, and he charged substantially less than he could have charged. He discovered additional funds for the client and obtained an outstanding result. Chuck is the first attorney I would call for a personal injury issue"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
