I endorse this lawyer. Phillip is a great litigator who I know has had tremendous success on his cases. I have enough faith in Phil that I have referred him several cases. I know he takes care of his clients and he's tenacious in court.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
Phil and I currently have 2 cases together. That should say plenty that I trust him and work with him. He is my go to guy. He's smart and charismatic, which is what the DAs fear most. Any client would be lucky to hire Phil.
