Best of the best!!

She exceeded our expectations! I went from having almost nothing to joint legal and physical custody in 3 months. I couldn't be any happier. Kathleen is definitely the best choice for a lawyer.

I hired Kathleen Phillips as my lawyer at the end of 2011 as my attorney representing me in my divorce. She has represented me in court through numerous issues including child custody over the past several years. She has compassion for people and puts her heart and soul into her work. I would highly ...recommend her to anyone.

Worth her weight in gold

Want to know the true test of what distinguishes a good attorney from a great one? Watch them in the courtroom. After releasing my first abhorrent attorney, I desperately searched high and low for an attorney who didn't just 'talk the talk' , but could also "walk the walk" It was then that I stumbled... upon Kathleen. And my God, was it the best discovery I ever made. I can genuinely say that she has forever changed my daughter and I's life in a way I can't even begin to thank her for. When Kathleen took on my case, I was convinced it was 'cursed'. No matter what crazy stunt or ridiculous shenanigans my ex did, he continued to get his way in Court. This left me discouraged, and hopeless. It wasn't until we went to Court and I watched Kathleen work her magic that I realized what a true Godsend she really was. To say that Kathleen is an incredibly well-spoken, ardently passionate, and exceptionally skillful attorney is not doing her justice, because she's much more than that. She possesses superior legal knowledge, and presents it in a way that leaves the other side lost for words. Every argument she made in Court was so compelling, that I felt truly SAFE that the Judge would side with us. After 11 months of grueling continuances and litigation, Kathleen not only won my case, she got my life back. For the first time in almost a year, I feel I can finally breathe. And that's all thanks to Kathleen.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"“I have known Kathleen for better than 10 years and know her to be a true advocate for her clients. She is very easy going and down to earth. This demeanor, however, cannot completely hide the fact that she is a fierce advocate for her clients, and her results speak volumes. She works diligently to prepare her cases for trial and is willing to zealously fight for everything her client deserves. She is not intimidated by the size of the corporation she is suing, or the size of the law firm that is defending the case. She and I associate on select cases and I am very impressed with her dedication to her/our clients. She is a great communicator and excellent attorney. The clients I refer to her are instantly placed in good hands. She is the first person I think of when I get a case larger than I can handle on my own. She gives her clients her all and gets great results and is well respected. She is an excellent attorney with the highest standards of advocacy and ethics. I endorse her."
