Mr.

1st, my wife and I went in to talk to him openly about our case to see if we even had one. Mr Jacobs, said we come to the right place and that he had cases, 100's of cases just like ours and that he had only lost one and it was a very unusual case. He said if we could get the money for the retain...er by the end of the next day, he would get started on the paperwork soon as we left, they woul be ready to sign when we come in. We come in the next day with the money and payed then they said the paperwork would be ready Monday, this was a Friday, that would be ok, went by there Monday it wasn't ready yet it finally was ready that Friday. Then it was too late that day to get them sent to the court house, it would Monday. It took a month for the papers to get served. The court dates kept getting changed and changed again. We finally get a court that stayed 4 months in. We get to court none of my witnesses got served in time to make it, none of my evedence got submitted in time to be able to use. In court I was alone, never ever have hired an attorney that just sit there until this one. I knew at that time I had been sold out. There was no objection made by Jacobs, while the other attorney was throwing anything to try to get it to stick. Everything that we had discussed with our meetings, Jacob's never brought into court. I cannot even appeal, because he faut the case in the wrong court. Devastating! We have lived with this decision of hiring him for a year now. If I could go back in time I would never had stepped foot in his office. I have showed my case to other attorney,. They all say the same I had an awesome case and Jacobs did sell me out or just didn't care.

Child Custody

Phil was my attorney child custody case for my granddaughter. He had her in my home in less than 2 months. I would highly recommend him. He is by far the best family law attorney in this area.

4th and final divorce lawyer

Phillip took my case in 2003 after more than 4 yrs., and 3 lawyers. He got me and my daughter out of the system about 7 months after taking my case. Other lawyers made money on preparatory fees and continuances, much much money. Phil simplified matters, made it easy for me, and I am most grateful t...o Him. Thanks for getting me and my daughter out of that hellish nightmare. She is doing great now and just about to graduate college!

Representation worth the price

Phil delivers on quality service and just responses. I appreciate his calm demeanor, especially in emotionally charged situations. I am confident in Phils ability to counsel me and my son for the next 14 years of walking through these fiery pits of hell called custody law. Peace be with you Phil and ...I hope you enjoy a longer life span than most do in your profession.
