Aggravated Robbery
Phillip is a great attorney. He has a good repoire in the Dallas County court house. He is compassionate and understanding not just the the needs of his client but to the family as well. My husband faced 15-99 years but thanks to Phillip he received a sentence much less than 15. Than you Phillip for your time, expertise and consideration.
