Practice areas

OtherSocial securityWorkers compensationPersonal injuryCar accident
  1. Car accident: 35%

    f you are involved in a car accident, you may benefit from the services of a car accident lawyer, one who knows the dynamics of car crashes and can identify and weigh all the possible factors which may have played a part. For example, you are driving in the rain on an improperly graded road and an approaching car has a blow-out. It suddenly veers out of control and skids into you at 45 mph.

  2. Personal injury: 30%

    A personal injury lawyer works with clients who have suffered a physical or emotional injury, usually by accident or mistake. For example, if you are in a car accident or are the victim of a botched surgery, a personal injury attorney can help. They know how the insurance claim process works, they know what evidence to gather, and they know how to calculate and present a claim for damages.

  3. Workers compensation: 15%

    If you are an employee who has been injured or disabled on the job, you may require the services of a workers' compensation lawyer. Usually administered at the state level, workers' compensation can include weekly wage payments, money for financial losses due to the injury, and paid medical expenses. If an employee is killed on the job, then his family can receive the workers' compensation. Workers' compensation lawyers interpret workers' compensation laws.

  4. Social security: 10%

    Social security law involves the intricacies of the American public benefits system that provides social security income. Social security is funded by taxes you pay when you are working. Once you stop working and meet the eligibility requirements, you receive monthly benefits. This occurs when you retire, have a recognized social security disability, or are the surviving spouse or child of a person entitled to social security.

  1. Medical malpractice: 10%

    Everyone makes mistakes. But when doctors, nurses, therapists, or dentists make them, the effects can last a lifetime. Patients have a right to expect that medical procedures will be properly performed. Medical malpractice attorneys represent you if you are injured by a healthcare provider's careless or accidental mistakes.

I endorse this lawyer. Glenn is a great trial attorney. When I worked for him he would take almost any case to trial to get a fair outcome for his clients. He has a natural ability to speak and negotiate with insurance companies and opposing counsel. Because he runs such a large firm, he has the ability, time, and resources to invest in a difficult/expensive case. I highly recommend Glenn as a fellow trial lawyer.

Glenn Phillips has been my boss for almost a decade. He has a natural presence in the courtroom, seemingly unending energy and tenacity, and an uncanny knack for stacking risk on his opponent’s side of the negotiation table which creates premium value for our clients at settlement time.
