Amazing
I hired Miss Phillips after receiving six charges, one charge was a DUI. All my charges were dismissed today! I could not be more impressed with her level of professionalism, humanism, and knowledge. I've already recommended her to a few people prior to her win on my case, and will forever continue to do so! There were medical issues, and travel for work involved and with her help we navigated everything perfectly! This was a tremendous burden on me and having every single charge dismissed and expunged from my record is the most relieving thing to happen all this year, once again thank you, you're amazing and I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart.

The biggest help!
Attorney Diana Phillips’ business card was given to me by a family friend after I was arrested on a warrant from 4 years ago when I broke up a fight. She agreed with me that it was completely ridiculous and I hired her the day I contacted her. Over the next few months she worked diligently to keep me informed and get my case handled with ease. They dismissed my case and cleared my record and I’m not sure how it would have ended up had I tried to handle it myself. Thank you so much for Dianna Phillips and her hard work!

Tenacious advocate
I was very satisfied with the energy attorney Phillips put into my case, I felt like she really was my champion and did everything she could to help my case. Easy to get in touch with and very responsive. I would hire her again, and will recommend her to friends and family.

Diana took my case with a very nervous first timer. The respondent was very vicious and mean and she thought of every detail and we were prepared. We had the best possible outcome!

God-sent 100
Miss Phillips was appointed to me on my DUI case. It was the first time I had ever been in trouble and I was absolutely terrified. Not being able to afford a lawyer made it even more scary. But I can say this, Miss Phillips was a god-sent! She fought for me tooth and nail. She listened listen to everything I had to say and believed me even when the paperwork said otherwise. She did all this even though I wasn't paying her! In the end my case outcome was more than I could have ever expected! I would definitely suggest her to anyone! She is very kind caring and fights for the person! Thank you Miss Phillips!

Thank you Diana
I couldn't have asked for a better Attorney. She was always quick to calling me back. She kept me informed of what was going on with my case. And she is very caring person. I felt like I had known her all my life. It is very rare to find an attorney who sincerely cares about you and your family. Diana Phillips is a jewel. I highly recommend her services.

Professional, experienced, meticulous Attorney at law.
Obtaining the results of a background check for a job interview. I found a false claim against my civil record. I called Mrs Phillips to seek legal help. After reviewing my situation, Mrs Phillips discussed my options and developed a plan of action against these false charges. With her years of experience in law, courtroom practice and dealings with the court process, Mrs Philips was able to have this false charge expunged and cleared from my record indefinitely. I do know of many lawyers that would go the extra mile to make sure justice is served with a caring and meticulous persona. You will not find a better lawyer to help you through your situation.

Diana Phillips is simply the best.
Diana Phillips is a woman that knows her job. I'm way up in Michigan and had a warrant in chattanooga. It was a mess of a case. Ms. Phillips not only picked up the pieces i left behind but she resolved the whole thing for me at a very reasonable rate. She cleared my name just like she said she would and in fact went above and beyond her part of the deal. Best attorney I've ever had. I'll never use another should the need arise. Diana Phillips is the best there is at what she does no doubt about it and anyone out there that needs help like I did there is no better option.

Diana Phillips
I was in a tough situation, new to the area when I found Diana's number. She made time to sit and talk to me about my options and was very transparent about how it could work out. She was vigilant about working on my case and always kept me up to date with updates. I am so very grateful that I happened to find her. Everything worked out the way it was supposed to some good some bad. But that's what happened sometimes. I'm not complaining because in the end everything worked out perfectly! she's very fair with her fees and she's very flexible with her payment options. Thank you so much Diana for helping me have a second chance!

Restoration
Her excellent reviews led me to contact Diana. Still feeling shocked concerning my case, as I had never in my life received such a charge, Diana was understanding and comforting. Hearing my account, she shared the defense process and strategies available to me. From a ministry background, one of the strategies which could lead to a dismissal and expungement appealed to me. Carefully following Diana's direction, that was the very outcome I received! She was Outstanding and it was a Pleasure to be represented by her!

Wonderful Attorney
I cannot say enough kind words about Diana! Shes goes above and beyond to get the best results for your case. This was my first offense, and it was pretty steep- felt like a short death sentence. I had went to a few other lawyers for consultations on my case, and had been given no hope. However, instead of looking at me just as a case, Diana listened to my story and fought long and hard for me with end results better than I thought possible! She works with your availability and is affordable. Diana is very personable but also fierce in the courtroom. Hire Diana, you will not regret it!

Professional and Genuine
Diana was great! From the start, she adjusted her schedule to fit me in. She was easy to talk to and not too intimidating to me as a client, but the moment she enters the courtroom, she has her game face on. She's very direct and professional but yet very genuine with me and my family. She made us feel like she truly cared. She was on top of everything and always kept me informed. I was pleased with the outcome of my case.

Down to earth attorney
Diana Phillips, is unlike any attorney I've had before. She truly cares about the well being of her clients. Phillips was appointed my lawyer in criminal court system my last time getting in trouble. Diana did everything to the best of her ability as if she were fighting her own case. If you want an attorney that deep down genuinely cares, she is the one for you! Thank you for everything Diana, I still cannot thank you enough!

Highly competent and tireless worker
My son had a failure to appear and another charge from a couple years prior. I contacted Diana at 10 pm when he still hadn't been booked into Hamilton Co jail after turning himself in that am. Diana was able to intercede and get him processed later that evening. From there, she walked us through everything: from bail, to hearing, to negotiating the sentence with DA, to paying fines. I highly recommend Diana as a litigator who works tireless for her clients.
