This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Expeditious and Thorough

Philip demonstrated a very professional and expeditious review of my case initially, then proceeded without hesitation on the best course of action. When there were decisions to be made, he provided the proper amount of guidance by providing options with the benefits / pitfalls of the outcomes. This... was my first time in a legal situation, Philip understood this and took the time to explain things along the way.

An effective attorney who is also an ethical and decent person

Mr. Borowsky represented me in a major personal injury case. He did an excellent job for me and was genuinely concerned about me as a person, not only as a source of income for him. He did an excellent job negotiating a mediated settlement, saving a lot of time, which was especially important a...s it enabled me to focus on my recovery rather than worrying about money. He also agreed to represent me on a subsequent case that was likely to be a much smaller case than he would normally handle - but he handled it as thoroughly as if it were a much larger case. He resolved the case as well as it could be. He's also shown a real interest and support of my own career since he first represented me. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
