Best criminal defense lawyer in Flagstaff

I was charged with 3 very serious felony criminal drug charges and I hired Lee Phillips Law Office to defend me in Superior Court. The case lasted for 9 months and Mr Phillips' law office was instrumental in me getting the desired sentencing of standard adult probation, without getting sentenced to a...ny prison time. Each of the felony charges carried a possible multi year prison sentence. Our desired outcome of probation was attained through Lee Phillips' diligence, his extensive research of all the state's evidence, his sage advice to me about what I could do to help my case, and ultimately through his decision to avoid an evidence based trial, but instead to agree to a plea of guilty while presenting as many positive mitigating circumstances on my behalf demonstrating eligibility for probation instead of a prison sentence. The outcome in my case was lucky for sure, but our luck was earned through Mr Phillips criminal law expertise and hard work combined with me testing clean and actively being in drug recovery during the entire case which demonstrated my amenability to rehabilitation. Mr Phillips has vast criminal defense experience & court room knowledge. Mr. Phillips has a very well deserved high level of respect and an outstanding reputation in the court room from court judges and prosecuting attorneys from his many years as a successful criminal defense attorney. He is very familiar with the workings of the criminal court system. Lee Phillips Law office and staff were so very helpful and I have the deepest gratitude for all their hard work done with me to achieve our desired outcome in Superior Court. I highly recommend the Law Office of Lee Phillips for any and all criminal defense situations.

Great Defense Lawyer

Mr. Phillips was recommended to me by a different lawyer. The recommendation was very good. Lee Phillips assisted me in two concurrent cases where I eventually got deferred prosecution for both, one was a felony and the other one a misdemeanor. I had never been in trouble before and ended up in two s...ituations that I thought as a young person would come to ruin my future. I am thrilled to have worked with Mr. Phillips. He really knows how to get the job done. He kept working the case till I got a better outcome than I ever could have dreamed of. The staff was very accommodating as well. I called a lot to ask questions. Every time they put my mind at ease. I highly recommend him to anyone. Thank You so much Mr. Phillips.

Excellent human being

Mr. Phillips is, first and foremost, a very above average person. He successfully represented me, and was totally dedicated to my legal defense. I was more than impressed that he dedicated so much time to the smallest details, and always was considerate, honest and polite to me and other people. It b...ecame clear to me that he was very focused on my case, and he never misrepresented the facts. Mr. Phillips also has an excellent office staff that is considerably above average in quality, friendliness and organization. I became aware that he is highly regarded from others in his profession. His intellectual integrity is excellent in my opinion. I am seriously delighted to have the opportunity to recommend Lee Phillips, without any hesitation.
