Lawanda Teres Phillips

I hired LaWanda for my cousin and family friend who were both incarcerated at Cook County Jail. LaWanda charged $600 for a preliminary hearing that never took place! LaWanda was asked if the client would have a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment! She assured me that he'd have a preliminary ...hearing! Later, I learned from a few other lawyers that no gun case is eligible for Preliminary hearing! This lawyer lied to us, then got an attitude and became very defensive and unprofessional when advised of the matter! She made promises that she never kept! Refused to speak with clients other than on the actual court dates! Did not do her best when handling these cases! We requested a refund and she declined! She did everything last minute and was not fully prepared for court! I did more of the work on both cases than she did! All the running around! Calling and visiting the jails to get information! And I would update her!

Where do I begin ?.. I contacted LaWanda Phillips based on a referral from another lawyer. I was unjustly charged with crimes that I did not commit. The book was thrown at me maliciously and a lot of lawyers were afraid to take my case. I heard things from other lawyers like " Dupage is a different ...animal and I cant beat them or -You can plead and I will work out something with the opposing side." Absolutely not! This is not something I was encouraged to do with Ms. Phillips. Ms. Phillips was up for the uphill battle to fight this war! She fought these charges ( misdemeanors and felonies) one by one with professionalism, with her experience and with guidance from God . Yes I said "guidance from God." We swear in to a God in court - Why not use him to fight our court cases? With Ms. Phillips as my lawyer- I heard things like "5 charges dropped", I heard "not guilty" for a charge against a police officer ( can you believe that ?) And right before my day of my 2nd trial I heard CASE DISMISSED on the last charges! Why? , because of who she is in experience, profession, strategy and in CHRIST! My family and I are grateful for her and I would recommend her services to anyone in a heartbeat! I walked away with a clear win and not one charge stuck to me ! #Glory to God!# Victory Belongs to Jesus and those who use him in their profession!
