My desperate call for help

Today I'm writing a review for someone who basically saved my life. I am a professional who started a career at a young age. Became a first responded right out of high school 30 years ago. My career has allowed me to help many people who were sick or injured, and I will humbley say that I have had th...e opportunity to know the feeling of saving a human life, and I have the awards to show for it. But last fall I encountered a legal issue that jeopardized my career and my financial stability. I decided I needed without any doubt to hire a lawyer who would literally hold my life in her hands. I have made many difficult decisions throughout my life and this decision now, was one that will determine how my life will be when all the legal issues were settled. Stevie Phillips was the lawyer I decided to trust with my life. Stevie immediately set up an appointment so we could meet, and discuss the options I had. She always answered my calls or texts as soon as she was able. In the end, charges were reduced and she was the one who save my life. I just want to give a big thank you to Stevie! If you have a legal issue, and are scared like I was, you need a lawyer that has the experience that Stevie has!

Stevie’s the bomb!!!

If you have to go to court hire Stevie!! It was the best thing I could have ever done for myself! She’s professional, smart, and empathetic! When I had court I realized how bad it would have been to not go with Stevie as my layer, she went in and assured me everything would be okay and my charges did... in fact get dismissed! She saved my future! If I ever go to court again Stevie will be my lawyer hands down!!!

She’s great!

She is very knowledgeable and was very communicative as far as her plans for my case and the reality of what might happen in certain situations. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for very professional and smart representation!

Very impressed!

Ms. Phillips was assigned to me to handle an issue I was having with my department. She answered all my questions, kept me informed, and followed up with with calls and texts. I couldn’t be more pleased with her professionalism and friendliness, highly recommended!

Prepared and professional

I needed a defense attorney and I met face to face with two before I met and hired Stevie. I choose her because she was interested in the truth when the other attorneys did not seem to care. She did her research and believed what we told her. In court I learned it is all about negotiation. Stevie was... always prepared, knew when to act and listen. She communicated consistently. I would sometimes text her with a question and she always picked up the phone and called me. She was never in a hurry. I would highly recommend her and hire her again if needed.

  • 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.
