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.

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.

High Regard, Respect, & Trust

I cannot adequately articulate the trust, respect, and high regard I have for Chuck Philips. How grateful I am for the work that he did to help get compensation for me following a car accident. From the very beginning, I was confident in Chuck's competence based on his experience from both the insura...nce side and the plaintiff side. Throughout the process, I was regularly consulted, educated and kept informed so that I could make the best decisions for my optimal health and wellbeing including my mental health since my accident also involved trauma. Chuck always acted in my best interest. Chuck truly provided personal and professional service. I will always recommend him to anyone who has been injured and needs a trustworthy and competent attorney. I am so grateful that he was there to help me.

Patience, knowledge, and experience.

Recently, a man put his truck in reverse and slammed into our vehicle as we were leaving our neighborhood. Having no experience with something like this we are so glad we ended up calling the Law Office of Philips and Raaymakers. Throughout this stressful process, Chuck was always accessible and pati...ently answered our numerous questions to put our minds at ease. It has been comforting to know we were consulting with someone with such extensive experience and knowledge. He is dedicated to helping accident victims and their families through the difficult, overwhelming, and frustrating process following an accident with injuries. Our advice is to not try to do this on your own, but rather call Chuck and ask for his professional help. You will be so relieved to know you are in such good hands.

Relieved

The biggest favor you can do for yourself is to give Chuck Philips a call. I found myself in a confusing legal situation and Mr. Philips answered all my questions thoroughly and patiently. His vast experience was definitely evident during our discussion and I felt so much better after our conversatio...n.

"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."

"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"

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.
