Lynette Margaret Philip

Individuals requiring a family law attorney are emotional and probably in a bad place. As I read other reviews, I find myself wondering about the emotional state of the reviewers. Lynette is extremely knowledgeable, well-respected, and no nonsense. She was timely in her responses. She didn't over-cha...rge. She explained the law concisely and told me exactly what to expect. She has a full case load and keeps it all front of mind, so you know she is in touch with your case. Every statement she made was backed up by fact, including her assessment of opposing attorney. If you want a professional who will take you to the finish line with integrity, Lynette is for you. No games. No ridiculous positioning. Just the facts and the law.

I hired Lynette Philip this Fall to help with a prenuptial agreement. My now husband had the prenuptial agreement drawn up already, and I needed to secure my own legal representation to review the agreement and make some changes. I had a meeting with Lynette and she assured me she could meet my dead...line. I needed to have the agreement completed within a month or so. Previous attorneys I had spoken with had previous commitments, but Lynette gave me specific dates about when she would be on vacation, when she would be in court, and when the information would be completed. Lynette missed every self-imposed deadline. She used all of the retainer money before I'd even received a first draft of the revised agreement. It seemed like the time required, and her costs, escalated once she received my financial information. By this point I was financially invested and needed to get this completed prior to our wedding date. Otherwise I would have fired her. I had to micro-manager her and her staff, calling and emailing countless times, to get the work that I had paid for. It took 2 1/2 months to get work completed that she had assured me would take less than 30-days. Her final costs to revise the agreement were almost the same as my husband's attorney, who drafted the original agreement. She even went so far as to send a final invoice for $200, for undocumented work, after we had paid her in full. I would strongly recommend NOT working with Lynette Philip.
