Amazing Attorney

I've been a client of Phil Lengle for several years. I struggled to find a attorney that would work hard for me and who was fair. All of my past attorneys didn't get me the results I was looking for. Phil was the first attorney who actually made a difference for me. I didn't have a lot of money and m...y case wasn't a huge money maker for Phil but he worked just as hard for me as he does for all of his clients. Big or small. He has become like a friend to me and has really always taken care of me like family. I HIGHLY recommend Phil Lengle to all of my friends and family. He's an amazing attorney and one in a million.

Great Divorce Lawyer

Going through a divorce is hard, you have a lot of questions and concerns that need to be answered. Working with Phil and his team was a great experience. Phil was easy to talk to, had great communication, understood the laws and my rights. Phil always had me and my kids best interest in hand and I ...would highly recommend his services to anyone going through a divorce.

Very sharp!

I came to Mr Lengle's office one day before my trial was to begin to defend my ex wife's suit to remove our minor son from the state. With just one day's notice, Mr. Lengle was able to grasp the important details of my case and successfully win the battle in court. I found him to be bright, articul...ate, personable, extremely knowledgeable regarding the laws in which he deals, and realistic in what to expect from the judge. He did not promise me the world and not deliver, like some attorneys I have heard about. If you are looking for a cut throat, underhanded, unprofessional, mean divorce attorney to represent you, Mr. Lengle is not the guy for you. He is 100% above board and professional at all times. As all attorney clients, I too, wish the billable hours were not so high. Mr. Lengle is not the least expensive divorce attorney in the tri cities, but he is not the most expensive one either. In this case, I feel I got what I paid for. Mr. Lengle was very effective for me in the courtroom. Because of him and his expertise, I was able to walk away from each courtroom visit with a smile on my face. I would, and have, referred him as a very good choice for divorce or family matters. I hope not to ever need his type of services again, but if I do I would not hesitate to have him represent me again.

Perfect Choice for Divorce Lawyer

I consider Phil not only my lawyer but also a friend as he truly listens, understands, acts and gets results with integrity. Phil goes out of his way to be sure all the bases are covered by being thorough, accurate and prepared. He represented me very well and handles himself in manner that exudes p...rofessionalism. Need a lawyer? Talk to Phil.

5 stars for Phil and team over 10 years of court battles

I don't have enough positive adjectives to describe how wonderful Phil and his team have been. I hired Phil almost 10 years ago and he helped me navigate a protracted process that included a four day trail and now two years of post-decree issues. From the first day in court, I knew we were prepared..., and I was confident that my concerns would be voiced. I wouldn't change lawyers! Phil is fair, practical, ethical, diligent, responsive and blunt. There has never been a problem reaching Phil, and I can count on him to give me good advice, even if it is sometimes advice I don't want to hear. The decisions are ultimately mine to make, but I believe Phil has helped me keep the "personal" out of the divorce process and focus on the big issues – saving me time, money, and additional stress. The divorce process and post decree process is expensive no matter which attorney you choose, but I know Phil has saved me money in the short term and the long run, and has helped protect my future. Phil made recommendations when my children were in elementary and middle school that have paid off now that they are in high school and college. Phil helped me focus on the business of divorce, and I’m grateful to have selected Phil and his team.
