Very Best BitTorrent/ISP Defense Attorney

After receiving a subpoena from my ISP for an alleged copyright lawsuit, I spoke to virtually every single copyright/IP attorney that you can find on Google...they all said similar things, and were quick to suggest settlement. There are tons of these "settlement factories", with many of them being th...e top search result listings. Almost all of them suggested a settlement amount that was impossibly high, and with legal fees that didn't vary too much from each other. I was fortunate enough to speak with Jonathan, who actually took time to discuss a legal strategy, his success in litigating (and winning) against opposing counsel, and went far more detailed into specifics around the allegations, and my circumstance and environment than any other attorney. After a thorough review of my situation, we concluded that settlement was the most viable option, which he did NOT push. His estimates for a settlement amount was 1/3 less than every other attorney I spoke to, and in the end, the settlement amount came out to just 1/3 of the TOTAL suggested settlement amount (2/3 less than initial estimates by all other attorneys), which was a fantastic result! Additionally, he and his colleague, John Bathke handle every case themselves, and are super responsive to any and all inquiries, stays in touch and guides you through the entire process, and it was quite reassuring to have such professionals represent you. Just the piece of mind during a time of extreme stress was invaluable to me as a client. I am quite certain that he is the best in the business, and his fees were lower than virtually all others...if you are in the same boat as I was, I would talk to him and retain his services over anyone else. A true, consummate professional, I cannot recommend him enough...do not retain anyone else before you speak to Jonathan.

ISP Subpoena Case

After consulting with several attorneys, I chose Jonathan to represent me for an ISP/BitTorrent subpoena case. Jonathan was very straightforward, very thorough, and answered all my questions. He knew what he was talking about and suggested a few different options for me. I chose to settle my case.... Jonathan estimated a ballpark amount lower than other attorneys, and the final settlement was definitely in the ballpark. Good communication throughout the entire process. I would hire Jonathan to represent me again in a heartbeat.

Attorney consultation

I consulted with Jonathan Phillips about a copyright issue, and he was very thorough and patient with me in explaining what I needed to know to move forward and all of the potential consequences. I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone who is looking for an attorney who is both knowledgeable in ...his field of expertise and good at explaining courses of action and potential outcomes.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I was local counsel for Jonathan in a case filed in the Northern District of Texas. Jonathan not only got an excellent result for his clients (dismissal of all claims against his clients, who were Defendants in the case), Jonathon obtained a judgment in their favor for attorneys' fees."

"Jonathan's combination of tenacity and intelligence is the reason for his success. There aren't many attorneys you can find with his science background who also have his no-holds barred litigation habits. Not only is our law firm happy to refer him cases when we are able, but also when I have issues in Jonathan's practice areas, I go to him myself."
