A really good guy and an excellent lawyer!

Chuck handled a bodily injury claim for me that was the result of having been in a car as a passenger. He handled everything in a totally professional manner and from day one explained what was happening and going to happen. Chuck was able to negotiate a very agreeable settlement on my behalf and I... would recommend him to anyone who needs representation for a bodily injury claim.

Best PI Attorney in Town

Chuck is the best PI attorney in town! If you value personal attention, service & honesty he is your man. He sets proper expectations when evaluating your case and keeps you updated along the way. I appreciate all of the work that he and Sharon did during my accident. There is nothing worse than gett...ing injured and having to deal with insurance company calls, letters, etc. Thank you to Chuck and Sharon for taking care of all of that for me and for allowing me to focus on getting better and back to normal. I would recommend them to anyone in an accident!

Attorney R LQ

I had the need for an Attorney to represent me in an accident case where my front teeth were knocked out and the accident was not my fault but the insurance company did not want to pay, of course!! Chuck is well known in our community so we didn't even consider going to anyone else. He was, is and h...as become a Business Associate and Friend and if I could rate him higher I would, amazing Attorney, amazing Person!! I highly recommend him for any legal problems you may have with the utmost confidence and the great thing is if by chance he can't help you he will recommend someone he has faith in to handle your case.

Attorney Philips Exceeded My Expectations

I am always shocked when someone does what they say they are going to do. That is why and how Attorney Charles "Chuck" Philips exceeded my expectations. Chuck recently represented me following a minor "fender bender". I was not at fault in this accident but I wanted and needed someone I could trust a...nd someone that would look out for me. Chuck was referred to me by a friend and was the right guy for the job! Chuck clearly explained to me what to expect during the medical and property claims process. Chuck's paralegal Sharon was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions and walking me thru the necessary paperwork. It took over a year to ensure I had no long term injuries and to settle the case but it was well worth the wait. Chuck negotiated a decent settlement for me and exceeded all of my expectations. The service Attorney Philips provides is outstanding!

CARING, LOOKING AFTER CLIENTS WELFARE & TRUSTWORTHY

Three young boys in a Jeep hit on the driver’s side of our vehicle, causing extensive damage to our car and to myself. My real estate attorney recommended Mr. Charles Philips. During our first meeting, I was impressed with Mr. Philips knowledge in car accident laws. I noticed that Mr. Philips is... a caring person because his concern was how to get me the necessary medical treatments so I can be relieved of pain. I would highly recommend Mr. Philips

"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"."

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."

"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"
