About C. Phil
Biography
Phil is an immigrant from Taiwan who came to the US in 1986. After passing the Bar in 2004, Phil received his L.L.M. in Tax Law from the University of Washington. Phil started his solo practice in 2004, but after a few short months of tax practice, he came to the realization that he belongs in the courthouse, fighting for the accused who are not capable of defending themselves.
Phil dedicated the next 15 years of his practice to temper and sharpen his skills. He has done over 50 jury trials and have gotten several not guilty verdicts ranging from simple misdemeanors to Class A felonies. He associated with Puget Law Group in 2019 as an attorney “Of Counsel,” assisting us while managing his own successful practice. In October 2020 Phil officially became a Partner with PLG.
Phil attended the two week National Criminal Defense College (NCDC) Trial Institute in 2015. Phil speaks three languages (English, Mandarin, Taiwanese).

Rude and ineffective
Hired Phil to represent me in my DUI case, expecting professional and effective representation. Unfortunately, my experience was disastrous.

Phil is a scam
I recently had the misfortune of working with Attorney Phil, and unfortunately, my experience was subpar. Despite his impressive credentials, he failed to deliver on his promises.

Please do not hire Phil if you want to win your case.
I had a very disappointing experience with Phil Su handling my case; he provided misleading information about the process and outcome, blamed his legal assistant for a lack of follow-up regarding important dates, and was dishonest about fees.

Rude Lawyer
My experience with Phil was not pleasant. He neglected to take care of my driving infraction which led to a higher fine. He only took care of it after I called and reminded him multiple times, which on the last one, he hung up on me and gave me attitude.
