Excellent

Lawanda Philips is a good lawyer .. She exceeded my expectations for my case.. Smart and knowledgeable and keeps her word. The judge also told her "Good Job" after she argued my case.

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.

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.

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.
