Gets the job done

Got my dumb ass, at my age should have known better, out of a stupid DUI situation. I'll be the first to admit, we have clashed, personalities I guess, but he does get the job done and does it well. His fees are reasonable. My only suggestion to him would be to hire a secretary, he tries to juggle to...o much.

Flawless for 6 years!

I first met Phil while I had got into some trouble on Felony probation back in 2010. Not only did I get arrested twice in the state I was on probation for, but also a third possible violation while obtaining an arrest across state lines (which is actually 2 violations being across state lines). One... of these arrests almost had gotten me kicked out of my college, he went with me to the official board meeting where we pled my case and collected witnesses and all the information proving my innocence and saving my college career. I have literally come to this man with the most difficult situations that would not have turned out the same if I did not have adequate representation! Ever since he has handled my probation back in 2010 I could see the amazing proficiency at his profession. Lastly, after everything I had been through, after graduating college, holding a successful career for a year, then receiving an offer from another company - another roadblock arose when my background check came back with my arrest that I was on probation for back in 2010. The company said they could not hire me with that on my record. I called Phil and asked him what we could do. I am not kidding when I say this man's word is GOLD. What he says he will do - he makes happen. He told me not to worry, everything would be alright. I went down to see him the next day and sure enough the day after he spoke with the hiring manager for the company she called me congratulating me telling me that she was going to clear my background check to hire me for employment and Phil setting up an immediate expungement in front of the judge for the following Tuesday. (saw him on Thursday) Phil has worked for me on short notice, multiple times, and given nearly impossible situations that he has gotten me out of. I honestly have to just laugh because I don't know how he does it. He has literally watched me grow up from a dumb young punk teenager who made some stupid mistakes, into a young adult who has learned from those mistakes. I would say that he is not just my lawyer now but rather an acquaintance as I will stay in touch with him regardless if I need legal help or not. I refer ANYONE I know that needs legal representation to Phil. Very respectable gentleman! Thank you sir I don't think I could ever thank you enough!

  • 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.
