Kathleen M. Phillips

If anyone is looking for a Shark as an attorney Kathleen Philips is the one you really need. She is upfront and does not give you the round around. I am so grateful for your passion, dedication, and professionalism. I’m so glad we found you, you are truly the best. Thank you so much! I can't tell yo...u how much I appreciate the amazing work you did on my son’s behalf on his child custody. And putting up with us. I wanted to thank you and your staff for the excellent work you and everyone has done. Standing by our side words can’t express what you achieved and the determination. We will highly recommend you !!!!

Kathleen confidently took my case and from day one made it a success. My prior attorney who was a self-proclaimed "family law specialist" messed up procedurally and my case was nothing but a mess. Not only was she able to fix the procedural issues with my case but we were able to secure supervised vi...sits. Kathleen's documents are concise and exactly on point, and her verbal and written communication with clients, opposing counsel and the court are superb. Kathleen thinks logically and is quick on her feet. Kathleen always cared about what was in the best interest of my children and I. If family or friends ask for a strong attorney that will win a case, I would recommend her without a doubt. When working with Kathleen trust you are in good hands.

I have heard of people who are able to command an entire room with just their presence, but I have only seen it hold true in practice once: and that’s with Kathleen. While I can’t fully put in words just how highly I think of her, I can wholeheartedly say she has been my source of strength and inspir...ation to keep fighting. I am involved in a nasty custody battle that can only be compared to the atrocities of World War 3, and even though I am a woman myself I had great apprehension about hiring a female attorney to represent me. Let me just say that happenstance was in my favor when she was introduced to me. Most attorneys who possess favorable strong traits, lack in others, but not Kathleen. She embodies a perfect equilibrium of assertiveness and strength coupled with fervent benevolence. She can completely command a room with her exceptional legal knowledge, razor-sharp wit, and impressive ability to quickly get to the bottom of the issues at heart. She is dedicated, incredibly knowledgeable, and fights zealously for her clients. I am forever grateful for what she has done for my family, and I highly, highly recommend her.

I was going through a nasty divorce and child custody battle with my ex. I tried to do it on my own at first but quickly found out there would be no way. Ms. Phillips helped me go from 5 hour supervised visits once a month to 50/50 custody with week on week off time with my son. She negotiated w...ith the child support attorney to modify the child support calculation. Attributed full time work adjustment to her and cutting the support amount to less than half originally ordered. Not only that but got the court to not allow any spousal support and she owes me money!! Ms. Phillips is very knowledgeable and always prepared. She always updated me on the case and explained all the real options that were available to me and was always professional in court. I highly recommend Ms. Phillips and will do so to everyone who is looking to hire an attorney.

This attorney was hired based on a recommendation for a family/divorce matter. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations, professionally and information found online. The communication throughout the process was inconsistent, and often found to be unclear about the status of the case o...r next steps. Timely updates and responsiveness are critical in legal matters, and this was an area that needed significant improvement. Additionally, there were concerns regarding professionalism. On at least one occasion, the attorney arrived late to a scheduled meeting and had a noticeable smell of cigarette smoke, which detracted from the overall level of professionalism I expected during such an important and sensitive process. While I appreciate the initial recommendation and the attorney’s efforts, it is advised for others to carefully consider their expectations for communication and professionalism when seeking legal representation.
