Review of Phillip D. Lee in handling of my personal injury case

Phil was both very professional and personable. Phil made me feel very comfortable during the whole process both in talking to him and his handling of my case. I felt great confidence in Phil and he followed through on everything he said he would do, keeping me up to date ever step of the way in an... extremely timely manner. My suit was completed and settled much quicker than I expected thanks to Phil. I plan on using Phil for all my future legal needs and will be recommending him to anyone I know needing legal assistance. He was outstanding.

Dedicated personal advocacy!

I cannot express what a relief it was to have Mr. Lee as my representative in court. A few months ago, i received a traffic ticket and was required to be in court at a date when knew i was traveling for work, so i filed (what i thought) was a request to have the court date moved to a later da...te. The Circuit Court Clerk explained that i would receive confirmation of the new date in a few weeks time. how surprised was i when, after being pulled over on a seat belt violation a few weeks later, i was arrested and charged with driving on a suspended license? I hired Mr. Lee, and he immediately began his work, finding where the mistakes had been made (on my part, and the county's) and used his diligence and professional relationships to assure that charges were dropped and my license was reinstated. At all times Mr. Lee kept me informed of his communications with the opposing counsel, the progress being made, and guided me through what would have been a hazy, expensive, and time consuming process had i tried to do it on my own. His polite, easy manner eased the stress of a frustrating situation, and his hard work and dedication made a short job of the red tape. I can recommend Mr. Lee, and will do so to anyone who is in need of legal assistance. Thanks, Phil!

Eye of the Tiger

I have had a half a dozen attorneys in my life for different things,they do their job,charge a fat fee,and down the road they go,I don't care for their smug,uncaring buisness practices.When a sensitive family matter needed an attorney,to say the least,I was not happy to go find one.I came in contact ...with a friends lawyer,who's good,but the case was not his speciality,so he recommended Phillip.After my initial conversation with him,I liked him but so what,another lawyer that's gonna turn this into a nightmare.I hired him,because what the hell their all the same,but it didn't take long until I realized,he's pretty sharp and what freaked me out was when I called him,if he didn't answer,he called me back within an hour or two,he appolized because he was in a meeting or court.My case took a while because of its nature,so after a couple of months I got to know him,I don't know the law,he always took the time to explain it to me and not make me feel like a dummy.I had talked to a few other people about my case,and everybody knows everything,but with Phillip,he did exactaly what he said he would do,and when the option time came,and my decision had to be made,he explained everything clearly.One night on a weekend,late,I wanted something answered,and he returned my text,most wouldn't answer till Monday,maybe.With my case he could of easily taken advantage of me but,when I asked for advice,he gave me an honest answer,and I will always appreciate it.My family don't like a lot of people,but even they said what a great job he did,he went up and above what most would,a rare quality nowadays.I've never met a lawyer with a conscious,I was wrong.The funny thing is when it was time for the billing,he could of charged me a lot more and I would of gladly paid it,he's a good man,I will recommend him to everybody I know.Thanks Phillip,I will always appreciate it.

When life throws lemons at you, let Phillip Lee throw them back.

During the first phone conversation I had with Phil I knew right away that I could trust him. For me this was incredibly important because it was his honesty that won me over and safely allowed me to accept him as my representative partner. I use the word "partner" because Phil created an environment... where we worked together, toward a common goal, and I knew I could count on him. Phil of course led the way, and I always felt like we made progress together. It was such a nice change from a previous experience in another, somewhat similar situation. What facilitated this the best was the way he communicated. I always knew what was happening, and I always had a voice and a choice. I highly recommend Phil Lee as a attorney. He demonstrated true professionalism by promptly working on my case, caring about my situation, and communicating with me on a regular basis. Through his hard work the case was resolved in my favor. If I ever get into a similar situation again, without hesitation, I know exactly who to call.

Who needs a pit bull when you have Phil?

We are fortunate enough to have Phil as our general counsel here at Barn & Company. As both a restaurant and bar, we encounter a variety of legal issues that require wherewithal, expertise, and sometimes good old fashioned hard work. Phil knows the law and most importantly, he gets the job done aggre...ssively and efficiently. Phil can be VERY INTENSE at times, but that's a good thing especially for an establishment here in the city. Phil's a great guy to know as well, all-around pleasure to work with and be acquainted with personally, as he is hard-working, ambitious, honest, loyal, and frequently, very funny. Phil the Pit Bull gets our full endorsement!
