Highly Skilled, Personable, and Trustworthy Lawyer

I've had the opportunity to work with Phil Piggott on several different matters for my company over the last several years and I recommend him without reservation. Phil is professional but extremely personable, knowledgeable, resourceful, and thorough. Phil is a lawyer that will put in the hard work ...to handle your case, with your best interest at heart, and you will enjoy working with him. He is willing to go beyond the courtroom, out in the field (however unpleasant that may be!) to investigate and prepare all aspects of the case. I am also a lawyer, and work with many other lawyers daily. Phil is a skilled lawyer you can trust and communicate with easily -- and he replies to calls/emails promptly!

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.
