I wrote an article about representation for an auto injury over 40 years ago. This review is not current and I would not want potential clients to consider Gordon Phillips based on one personal injury case in Orange County, again over 40 years ago The case was last minute, it did not go to co...

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 atto...

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.
"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. "
"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!"
