Stand up lawyer!!

when I was put in a bad situation and didn’t know who to go to I thought it was over. I called all types of lawyers, and either they wanted too much for my case or I felt they was not be all the way honest with me. Honestly at that point I knew it was over. Then my brother told me about Ms.Phillips s...o I called thinking I would have to set up an appointment to speak with her or things would go bad again. No, she actually took the time out of what she was doing at that moment to speak with me about my case, give me great advice and hope. So right then and there I knew I was going to hire her. When I did she help me to the best of her ability to get what I wanted and did. After that I’ve always kept her and In mind but didnt think I would need her again cuz I planned on not getting into trouble. But then I kinda got myself in a little situation and she give me the best advice and it worked. I’ve also recommended her to a friend and would recommend her to anybody else who would needs a good fighting lawyer!!!

Outstanding!

Lawanda Phillips is amazing. From the onset (August 27, 2013) she did what she said. She predicted what would happen, and the case played out just as she outlined. She has a calm about her that raises your brow (because you usually don't see that these days), she believes in her clients and she pr...ays for them. When she stated that to me, I knew she had that personal touch we were looking for. Lawanda treated this case like it was one in which she was representing a close relative. Her skill set is unmatched. She can be referred to as the "Quiet Hammer." Her disposition is truly calm, but her knowledge speaks volumes. It is my prayer that we won't need to utilize her services again, but if I know of anyone looking for a stellar attorney, I will refer them to Lawanda Phillips.

NEW CLIENT

My first contact with Lawanda T Phillips was via telephone call at approximately 7:00am. I dialed her business number with the intention of leaving a voicemail message but to my surprise she answered the call. Attorney Phillips did not ask that I "call back during normal business hours". She instead... asked how she could be of service to me! As I explained my plight, we engaged in a question and answer session pertinent to the case. Before the end of the call I felt I was in the hands of a competent attorney willing to extend her time and expertise. I was able to meet Attorney Phillips that very day in her office to further discuss the legalities of the case. This meeting solidified my positive first impression!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
