The best lawyer to have with any high conflict cases

Very efficient, responsive and patient while working through a high conflict and stressful divorce. I felt like the case moved along only because Gordon was so on it and kept things moving. Without him I am sure my case would have dragged on much longer. He is an amazing advocate for myself and my ch...ildren. Provided legally and emotional support through a stressful process. Hopefully I would never have another divorce but if I did, I would call Gordon!

Wish I could do more than 5 stars!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Gordon. After working with a previous attorney where we felt like we were paying for little to no progress, the difference was night and day. Gordon stepped in and immediately created momentum in my case. He was strategic, responsive, and genuinely invested... in getting the best outcome possible. He made huge changes — all for the better — and moved things forward quickly and efficiently. For the first time, I felt heard, supported, and confident in the direction of my case. He ultimately brought everything to a close exactly how I had hoped it would. I never expected to have such a positive experience with an attorney, especially during something as stressful as family law proceedings. If you’re looking for someone who is proactive, knowledgeable, and truly cares about results, I highly recommend Gordon. He exceeded every expectation.

Top Notch attorney!

I entered into an unexpected divorce in the spring and was referred to Gordon Phillips to use. Right after my first phone consultation, I knew I was in amazing hands. I cannot say enough about the time that Mr. Phillips took to go over everything with me from start to finish. He was thorough, poli...te, accurate, detailed but most of all, he talked with me like a friend and explained to me anything that I didn't understand and asked me great questions. He never made me feel rushed or inept when discussing legal terms, and this made our working relationship super smooth and any followup timely and complete. I honestly never thought this would go so smooth or so fast. I highly recommend Mr. Phillips if you want an attorney that helps you understand your situation, gives you great advice, simplifies things that you may have questions on and doesn't nickle and dime you. It was a pleasure working with him and his staff.

Best in Bend

I retained Gordon Phillips after my complicated out-of-state divorce and custody battle proved too challenging for several others. He came highly recommend by a top Portland family law attorney. Over the next two years I was not disappointed. Mr. Phillips' extensive knowledge of the law allowed him t...o deliver better results than I thought possible. He is passionate about helping his clients. He listened to my opinions throughout the process and became a trusted adviser. Mr. Phillips is also responsive to client communications, which is rare in my experience. I feel very fortunate to have found him. I would strongly recommend Gordon to anyone caught up in a high conflict or complicated case where an extraordinary attorney is needed.

Exceptional attorney!

I needed to use Gordon's services after I filed for a divorce last year. From our first consultation, I knew I would retain his services for representation. Here is why: In that hour, I gained more information than I would have dreamed possible. My best guess is many attorneys would have used sev...eral hours to provide me with the same amount of information. After hearing of my situation, he guided me to use a mediator to help deal with a large portion of our case. In the end, this saved me a large sum of money. Whenever I was in need of guidance from Gordon, he responded to my outreach very promptly and professionally. Over the course of our case, I needed his expertise every bit as much as the services of the mediator. Gordon was very careful to not over utilize his services, he instead provided me with all of my options in addition to what he could offer. If you decide to retain his services, you can be rest assured that Gordon knows this area of the law extremely well. He does not play "dirty," but will also quickly assert himself on his client's behalf and not be intimidated by the other party's representation. Gordon was originally referred to me by a good friend (who happens to be a local attorney) who knows of Gordon's positive reputation. I feel extremely lucky to have had his representation during what was easily the most difficult time in my life. It would have been more difficult if I hadn't had someone who was comfortable standing strong on my behalf, knew the law so well and was willing to work alongside the mediator to help keep our process as calm as possible.
