We have the capacity to litigate complex products liability cases, including pharmaceutical claims, as well as auto, truck, and construction site accidents.  Until recently, I had the largest settlement against the Los Angeles Unified School District for sexual abuse of students by district teachers.  Contact me for an honest, unrushed assessment of your case today.

Review Gordon Phillips

Gprdon Phillips - "The best of the best"

Posted by

A truck driven by a female driver (while she was doing her nails while driving) ran into our car, spun around and hit us again. I received an injury in the location of the C6 and C7 in my neck. The attorney we had, totally mishandled the case. We were two days from losing our case, because our attorney did nothing. I contacted Gordon Phillips and in two days he turned the entire case around and we won. He has helped our extended family members for over 35 years when small situations arise that we needed his advice. He is brilliant, effective, charismatic in his negotiations, never rude or condescending like some attorney's. He really cares about you, your welfare and your case. He is very protective of his clients and stays on top of everything. The small details are what are often missed in contracts and litigation, that is just one of the reasons he is so effective and amazing. The most important thing, he wins cases because he is totally prepared, has great respect for his clients and takes care of the small details. Gordon has handled multi-million-dollar cases; yes, again he wins! I would highly recommend Gordon Phillips to handle your case. I have worked with many commercial attorneys over the past 40 years in my profession and am very aware of the really great attorneys in many of the legal fields. As to personal injury attorneys, Gordon Phillips ranks at the very top of the list!

I believe that Gordon is very thoughtful and firm in his beliefs in what is right and wrong. I appreciate that he and his staff are available after hours and even on the weekends. Gordon and his staff kept me informed throughout the development of my case. I was specially impressed with Gordon's preparation at mediation. Gordon walked in with poster board exhibits and I believe that this technique truly helped settle my case at the value it settled for. I think that above everything else, Gordon strongly believes in what's right and wrong, which is a characteristic that not too many people have anymore. Lastly, I strongly believe that with Gordon's extensive experience, the complexities of my case were represented very well. I have recommended many friends and family to Gordon and I will continue to do so in the future.

Gordon was very helpful with my case and was pretty responsive. I had his cell number and, for the most part, could reach him when I needed to. Overall a great experience using him to represent me.

Gordon is a very knowledgeable attorney. The office works great as a team. We feel like we are part of their family. Gordon as well as his staff have always kept up informed. There were many instances where we couldn't go to the office and Gordon and/or his staff had no problem going to us. Gordon was very knowledgeable with all my medical care. He would even go with me to appointments. He was very thorough in reviewing all my medical records and always staying on top of my medical treatment and care. We highly recommend Gordon and his office to family and friends. We are very satisfied with what Gordon and his office did for us.

Ricardo Perez, Sexual harassment Attorney on Jan 21, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Phillips for approximately 20 years. Gordon is intelligent, hard working and totally dedicated to his clients. He is recognized by his peers as a friendly colleague who is always willing to lend a hand, and is well respected by insurance company defense lawyers as a highly effective advocate and aggressive litigator.  His greatest strength is in his preparation, especially in complex personal injury litigation cases, sexual harassment, sexual molestation of minors, medical malpractice, and product liability cases. He is ethical, always recognizing his duty to place his clients' needs and interests before his own. His experience and reputation really pays off for his clients as he is both an excellent negotiator and a top-notch trial lawyer. 

Frank Sariol, Personal injury Attorney on Jun 14, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Phillips is one the best lawyers that I have the privilege of knowing. I have worked together with him in several cases. His preparation of EVERY case is outstanding. He prepares each case as if it was the most important case he is taking to trial. He is highly respected by the Plaintiffs and Defense Bar. The judges recognize his excellent work and his results show it. Gordon is the go to lawyer when you want the big results in a case. He is professional, ethical, knowledgeable and very efficient. He takes care of his clients by keeping them informed at all times. His compassion often times adds the human touch to very difficult situations and to a profession that is notorious for being impersonal. I highly recommend Gordon to any one that is considering hiring him. . . WITHOUT RESERVATIONS!
