Amazing!

Carolyn has worked with me on many different issues, ranging from resolving a tax dispute with the franchise tax board, to negotiating and drafting a residential lease and sublease. She is always knowledgeable, responsive, and professional, and she does amazing work.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I am happy to endorse Carolyn Phillips. She was opposing counsel on a case involving an action by a father against his son. The matter was emotionally charged and very difficult to resolve. Ms. Phillips was professional, prompt, courteous, and competent throughout the case. Her attitude and professionalism allowed us to resolve the matter to everyone's satisfaction. I would welcome the opportunity to work with her in the future."

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.
