Henderson retirement dispute

Phil did an excellent job protecting my rights concerning a prior divorce/retirement account while making sure I remained within the laws requirements. He did an outstanding job negotiating with the opposing counsel which ensured my liability was less than it could have been. This, coupled with his ...gracious demeanor made my interaction with Phillip a surprisingly good experience for what could have been a nightmare

Phil was a light in the dark times.

I was referred to Phil through another attorney that didn’t handle cases in Livingston. I was in dire need of something to be done with custody for my son. Phil spoke to me like a friend more than a lawyer giving me advice through a consultation before I made any commitment. He genuinely seemed to... want to help me resolve my case. Didn’t make me feel like just another paycheck. He advised me on what he believed to be my best interest and showed up in court and even offered to cancel some appointments if I needed him to stay longer than usual time it took to get a resolution to my case. He was very easy to get a hold of throughout the entire process and was very quick to respond to emails, texts, and voicemails. He didn’t seem to be weighed down or overburdened by a huge caseload like some attorneys that you rarely can get in touch with. He went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and have peace of mind the entire time and he got me results. His rates are very reasonable compared to a lot of attorneys. I’d highly recommend his services and will be using him again should the need arise. Thanks again Phil.

Excellent Attorney

Phil Maples has been representing me during my divorce process. He has been very helpful and I can truly tell he is passionate about what he does. He doesn't sugar coat anything, he is honest, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I feel very lucky to have found such a great person... to represent me in such a difficult time of my life.

Great Trial Attorney

My husband and I are landlords who took our tenants who broke a lease to a JOP court case without an attorney, and we won. However, representing ourselves was extremely nerve-wracking, and my anxiety was heightened even more when we found out our tenants were appealing the ruling to Ascension Parish ...Court. Recommended by a friend from church, Phil Maples made us feel comfortable about our case and the upcoming trial from our first consultation. He was very open and honest, did a great job distilling all the information, and because we would have to take the witness stand, took special attention to prepare a sheet of questions in advance for us so we could feel ready for the big day. Even though I am diagnosed with anxiety and take medication for it, I felt extremely calm during my trial as Phil asked me the questions he had notified me about in advance. He did an amazing job presenting our case, and we won! My husband and I are so thankful that we didn't decide to go it alone at court and instead trusted Phil to guide us every step of the way. In fact, because Phil was so great, we're now going to be working with him to update our Revokable Trust. I highly recommend him.

Phil is great

Phil drew up paperwork and filed documents in a timely and professional manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to call him for any other matters.
