Personal Injury

Mr. Phillips handled my personal injury case. When I contacted him, he was very helpful in explaining how the process would work and both he and his staff were extremely helpful in answering questions that I would have. He and his staff frequently kept me updated during the process and worked hard ...to get me the best results.

Medical Malpractice

It has been almost 20 years since we contacted his law firm concerning a medical malpractice case. At the time his partner had him sit down and listen to us. St the beginning he was unsure he was unsure of us. A common reaction for our family. Once we explained what we had been through he did not hes...itate to take action. He handled a custody hearing for us which was out of their depth. This was necessary because of the way things had started. Once that was done we moved on to the real case. It took over 5 years to get through it but Robert Phillips and Associates has always handled everything professionally and kept us up to date on what was happening. We were sent to specialists for consultation and care. Their offices took care of everything. Thanks to Robert Phillips and Associates our child will be taken care of for the rest their life. The firm was always helpful and professional during our time dealing with them. Mr. Phillips took a personal interest in our case and made himself available whenever we needed to talk to him. Their network of doctors and professionals was very helpful in getting us through our case. If you are in need of assistance they will handle your family with care and professionalism. They consistently work to get you the best outcome in a bad situation. My family will always be grateful to Robert Phillips And his team for being their when our family was in the most need.

Anthonys TBI

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 !!!

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.

Best Lawyer Possible for Disfiguring Dog Bite

Robert Phillips became our lawyer for my daughter's dog bite to her face, which happened at the house of a family friend. He was extremely adept at charting the options for us and working with the insurance company to get fair compensation, which greatly exceeded our family's expectations, and was w...ell over 10 times the original offer. Our settlement was in the very top ranking for this type of injury. The great thing about Robert is that he is extraordinarily aggressive and proactive regarding all the legal activities, but very importantly to us, we all felt comfortable with him. Some Personal Injury lawyers are kind of gross, but Robert is a really decent and fair guy, always outlining a course of action that made sense. His experts are all professional (rather than professional experts who don't come off as well in court) and his photographer was really gentle with my young child, quickly gaining trust and alleviating the embarrassment of the facial scar. Robert pointed out the options at each step in the way - and had good judgment in how hard to push and when to be patient. I have complete confidence in his abilities and can recommend him without hesitation.
