Best Legal Team in Brownsville and The RGV

I have nothing but positive things to say about the law office of Phil Bellamy and his team of paralegals, he’s an honest man, a humble man, but more importantly he works tirelessly and endlessly for his clients, I am absolutely impressed by their unmatched work ethic, easily the best legal team in B...rownsville and the entire RGV Do yourself the favor of reaching out to them for a real fighting chance.

Great Lawyer

I highly recommend Mr. Bellamy for your law needs. He is an amazing attorney who is willing to work with you, so he is affordable. From the first consultation he knew what actions needed to be taken to help get my life back on track. Without the help of the entire Bellamy firm, I know that I would ha...ve not had the successful outcome I have had. He is quick to respond and keeps you updated on your case. I am proud to be a Phil Bellamy client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

Is absolutely ineffective

I want to warn everyone out there that is looking for a lawyer to beware of hiring this attorney. He did not take my case seriously, missed crucial deadlines and made major mistakes along the way. After almost 4 years of begging him to do something and hoping he would not just quit he did just that... (1) day before my mediation and just a few weeks before my trial date in my civil suit. I had to go to mediation and represent myself because he withdrew as my council. He is unresponsive, lackluster, unprepared and is easily overwhelmed. He took $15,000.00 of my hard-earned money in advance as his retainer and then just walked away. I would not recommend this man for any legal advice of any kind on any matter. he does not respond to calls, emails or messages for sometimes 7-12 days and that my friends is the type of performance you'll get with Phil Bellamy The only reason I gave him one star is because they did not offer a negative star option. I regret the day I met and retained him.

The Law Office of Phil Bellamy is always ready to address client questions, concerns, and complaints, and resolve them. In this case, Bob asserted the claims made in his review of the Law Office of Phil Bellamy by filing a grievance (complaint) with the State Bar of Texas, an administrative agency that in part manages the grievance process. His grievance was dismissed. The Law Office of Phil Bellamy regrets that Bob is not happy with the services provided by it, but an attorney’s duty to protect a client’s confidential information prevents the Law Office of Phil Bellamy from discussing or addressing his complaints except directly with him. In all cases, a client’s accurate representation of the facts of his case at the beginning of the attorney-client relationship is crucial. If these representations prove to be untrue, exaggerated, or distorted, the discovery of the true facts in the course of litigation will lead to a poor outcome and an unhappy client. Finally, an attorney may withdraw from representing a client if the client fails to follow the attorney’s advice on a material matter.

Client

I have found Mr. Bellamy to be an honest and reliable attorney. He helped me fight and win my case. I would definitely recommend him as a competent attorney. He is one you want to have next to you in any legal affairs.

Thank you!

P. Bellamy was very helpful with my case. It was important to me to gain a clear understanding of what to expect and it especially helpful that he answered all of my questions. I felt very well informed and more at ease. The service provided by the staff at the Law office of Phill Bellamy was excepti...onal. I appreciate the support I received and recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal assistance.
