She A Scam' A Liar' AND USES "THIS IS NOT THE TIME NOR PLACE WHEN DANGEROUS ISSUES ARE BROUGHT TO HER ATTENTION AS WELL AS THE CITY COUNCIL IN THORNTON,CO WHY HIDE MEETINGS ???? MAY 22, 2018 SHE WORKED WITH CRIMINALS LIVED AT 80260 & ALLOWED THE NAMES OF POLICE TO BE USED & DISGRACED! MANY DESER...VED IT. BUT GOING ALONG WITH CRIME ? USLESS & A TITLE IS JUST THAT A TITLE! **** WHEN I SPEAK WITH AN ATTY. I EXPECT TRUTH & ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW NOT COVER UPS. LIVING AS A NEIGHBOR & SITTING IN MEETINGS WITH HER HAS PROVEN SHE'S "FAKE" EXPECTING THE PUBLIC TO PAY HER WAY. "POLITICS ARE POLITICS"

Kind, efficient & knowledgeable

Dr. Phillips was able to point me in the right direction in a complicated matter. She generously provided assistance that exceeded what was expected, and I walked away with valuably-actionable information. Thank you!

Really Cares about Kids

Dr. Phillips was/is an amazing asset to my child's educational needs. My son is a child with a disability. He's been on an IEP since pre-school. When he transitioned to middle school he was left without services for up to a month. Because of how organized, thoughtful, collaborative, and outcome based... Dr. Phillip was/is, we were able to get my son the appropriate services and even received compensatory services. Without her, I feel we wouldn't have gotten any services and my son would've struggled through middle school.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
