About Philip
Biography
I call myself a Transformational Lawyer, which means that I help my clients to transform their legal problems into opportunities for personal growth and positive change. I call what I do a Coach Approach to the Practice of Law. My practice focuses on small business and real estate issues and commercial mediation. I believe that, as Conflict Managers, lawyers have the opportunity to become Conflict Healers and, in doing so, shift the way conflict is resolved on this planet.

Short Sale Negotiation Expert
Mr. Daunt and his company, Strategic Loan Solutions, took us from the first steps to the final closing on the short sale of our home.
