Referral success

Robert Phillips and the personnel where he practices were nothing but professional, courteous, thorough and a pleasure to work with. For my auto collision, I was referred to them by friends and was never disappointed. They have even maintained contact with my family to this date, several years later.... I was pleased with their work, their efficiency, as well as the outcome.

Medical malpractice

Mr.Phillips represented our teenage daughter in a medical malpractice case that was settled in 2011. Robert went above and beyond for us in a very difficult time. He came to our home and was completely honest with us, he explained everything along the way and kept us in the loop over time. Mr.Phillip...s treated our family with respect and did an incredible job for our daughter. He is a confident attorney with a great deal of experience and knowledge.Not only did Mr.Phillips help get our daughter the monetary compensation she would need to take care of herself for her lifetime, he also helped guide her in the right direction to set herself up for success. Mr. Phillips is a man of great integrity and will not let you down. Without hesitation, our family will always recommend him to anyone in need of his services. We are truly appreciative. Highly recommend! Sincerely, The Gross Family of Des Plaines, I

Rob Phillips did an outstanding job for us. He is a very thoughtful and tenacious lawyer. He really considers his clients needs and is compassionate about helping his clients. He challenges the opposing counsel with his arguments and responses. He does not tolerate or enable any behavior or suppositi...on that would not be in the best interest of his clients. He is respectful and courteaus to the courts and judges. His responds in a timely manner to everyone involved in the case. He welcomes a challenge and will not back down from any fight that is necessary. He does his homework and was always prepared. Through himself and his staff he found aspects to the case which were of great benefit to the outcome. Not only some facts of the case we were not aware of but witnesses that we were not aware of either. The many depositions done were completed extremely well. His cross examinations revealed aspects to the case that were in our best interests. Once again, his fact finding missions were superb. This helped with all aspects of the case. He had also explained to us the length the case was going to take and he was accurate with the time frame. He did his best to minimize costs without compromising the integrity of the case. Our son could not have had a better advocate than even his mother and myself. His staff is intelligent, responsive and caring. Whoever is reading this review would be foolish not to enlist the services and the commitment to excellence you would receive from Rob Phillips and his staff. We could go on and on but at this point you can understand the wonderful job that he did for us. Thanks Rob, you rock !!!

The judge said to me, “My dear, you have one great lawyer.”

After several intense discussions and successfully settling my personal injury case, the judge said to me, “My dear, you have one great lawyer.” Robert Phillips leveraged every possible resource to get my case the best outcome. I was in on every critical step, was apprised of all expenses, and was ...thoroughly prepared for my deposition and arbitration meeting. Mr. Phillips is a very dynamic speaker and excelled at garnering the courts sympathy and compassion toward me. I am very grateful and I know this much – I only ever want Robert Phillips on MY side.

client KimAlexander attorney review

Robert Phillips represented me for a personal injury lawsuit in 2010. Rob explained many of the legal nuances and the procedures so that I could understand the road needed to be traveled through the court system of Cook County. Rob kept me informed of every action taken during the legal proceedings... and advised me of the next step of the procedure. I was satisfied with the outcome of my case. It was helpful that I myself understood that the legal system can and does move slowly at times. Rob did an excellent job and I would use his services again if needed.
