Compassionate & Fight for what's right!

Rachel, is hands down the best Lawyer I have had for representation. Rachel knows the law and goes above and beyond to execute your rights. She not only hears you and listens , she explains the court process and informs you of all possible outcomes as her client. Also, she advocates and is persisten...t. Rachel has a heart of gold and is supportive in all ways possible. I would recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation and use her again myself.

Negative review

My attorney,failed to communicate with me on important issues that would have a bad impact in my criminal casse . She didnt explain to the court during trial a couple of very important issues that could have resulted in a different outcome . She also led me to believe that I would get at most probati...on but because of her lack of interest, lack of communication and dishonesty I got convicted and now am facing several years in prison .

Russell Barnett

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 02

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Without reservation I would recommend Ms. Philips to an individual seeking legal counsel, or to an attorney seeking an investigator. As an attorney handling primarily homicide cases, I must have an investigator who can “get the job done.” Ms. Philips is just that investigator. Timeliness and thoroughness are the hallmarks of her work product. Her experience as a top-flight criminal defense lawyer makes her invaluable as an investigator, but more importantly, her personality make it possible for her to connect with, and develop rapport with almost anyone. When I get a new case, my first call is to Rachel Philips."
