Philip Dana Althouse's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Phil is an excellent attorney and fights long hours in the pursuit of justice for his clients. His dedication is remarkable and his work within the Salvadorean community here and abroad is outstanding!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Philip for probably more than a decade. We both are authors of chapters in the Westlaw book, Ohio Consumer Law. Philip has an excellent understanding of Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act (Ohio's Udap law) and cares deeply about his clients. His years of experience, both with the law and with consumers, has given him a great ability to explain the law to people in a way they can readily understand. When it comes to understanding Consumer Law, he is tops. I highly recommend him to you."
