I have know Phil since he was a young prosecutor. He is so talented and a strong advocate for his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone.

I've worked alongside Mr. Gommels for many years and have always found him to be a passionate and professional advocate for his clients. I endorse him highly.

Phil has an amazing heart for his clients and will work harder for them than other attorneys. His background gives him insight into how the system operates so that he can better serve his clients. I fully endorse him.

I endorse this lawyer. Phillip is an excellent lawyer and I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need.

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Gommels truly cares about his clients. As an ADA he was often the last person to leave the office. He has seemlessly transitioned to the defense bar and brings that same tireless work ethic to his clients. Anyone who hires Mr. Gommels is lucky to have him.

When Phil was a prosecutor in the Harris County DA's office, I worked with him on several criminal cases where my clients were mentally ill or suffering from the effects of PTSD after having served in Iraq or Afghanistan. Having served as a combat medic himself in the U.S. Army, Phil both understood like no other how such trauma can lead to criminal charges and was compassionate to the defendants and their families. Since Phil left the DA's office and entered private practice, Phil has brought with him the same mindset, passion and zeal in his practice defending those accused of breaking the law. His clients are lucky to have him.

Phil and I tried a DWI case together in Fort Bend County. He convinced the judge to grant his "motion to suppress" evidence. In the end, this meant the prosecution was forced to dismiss the case during trial. The jury picked up on his good vibes and was ready to acquit his client if the judge hadn't stepped in. He is one of the most pleasant people you'll ever meet and I highly recommend him.

Phillip is tough, smart, and tenacious. He zealously represents his clients and achieves excellent results for them. I wholeheartedly endorse Philip Gommels.

Daniel Lazarine, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 2, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Philip and I have been colleagues for the last 5 years. Philip's ability to understand and analyze the law is matched only by his ability to communicate effectively with juries and judges. Mr. Gommels works hard for his clients, and anyone who hires him is in good hands.

Phil has a warmth and genuiness about him that are evident the first time you meet him. Above all other traits, these are the ones that distinguish the really great defense lawyers from all the others!

Mr. Gommels is an attorney who truly cares about people. That came through when he was a district attorney, and it has followed him into private practice. He is an asset to the defense bar and to all of his potential clients.

Phillip is a great defense attorney. When he left the District Attorneys office he wasted no time getting cases and doing a thorough job. I have seen some of the results of his cases and his demeanor in court and both are impressive.

Phil and I worked together as prosecutors in Harris County, and I had the pleasure of sitting with him on several trials. He is an excellent advocate. He always knew the law and always went beyond the call of duty in preparing. I highly recommend Phil.

Phil has a great deal of experience in cases and always works hard.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

While I worked under Phil at the Harris County DA's Office, I watched and learned as Phil tried many cases including DWIs and Assaults to a jury. At the time I didn't understand the importance of interviewing and preparing witnesses for trial, but after spending a Saturday at the office with Phil, I watched how he was able to question his witnesses in a truly conversational approach that put them at ease and got them ready to testify at trial. I know Phil still takes this approach to his client's cases today. Phil also comes with the added benefit of working for several years at the DA's office, which gives him the ability to truly know how the prosecutors think and work. I highly recommend Phil if you are looking for a smart and dedicated attorney that is willing to put his client first and fight for the best possible outcome.

When Phil was a prosecutor, I worked closely with him on innumerable criminal cases where my clients were mentally ill. Not only does Phil have an annoyingly good understanding of the law (he's always citing the code by chapter and verse), he more importantly deals with mentally ill people and their families with human compassion and understanding. Since Phil has entered private practice, I haven't hesitated to ask him for help with my own clients. And he has helped them with the same attention to detail and personal care as he did when he was a prosecutor. Phil is an excellent lawyer and I endorse him strongly.

When Phil was with the District Attorney's Office, I had the pleasure of working with him as opposing counsel. Phil was always professional, knowledgeable and hard working. Since his leaving the District Attorney's Office, I've asked Phil consult on a case because I could think of no better lawyer to assist my client. Phil is extremely knowledgeable as well as kind and generous. Phil Gommels is a dedicated, talented advocate for his clients. I endorse him.

Philip and I both worked at the Harris County District Attorney's Office at the same time. As a prosecutor Philip gained the respect of his co-workers and the defense bar. He was known as a dedicated attorney that always fought hard. We both left the District Attorney's Office around the same time and now I get to see him use his experience to zealously represent his clients.

I endorse this lawyer. I had the pleasure of working as opposing counsel with Phil while he was at the Harris County District Attorney's Office on several cases, and I came to know Phil as a hardworking and honest attorney. Phil is a strong advocate and I would not hesitate to refer clients to him.
