Class action lawyer | Jun 13

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"John Phillips is perhaps the single most persuasive advocate that I have worked with or watched argue. He has an impressive ability synthesize complex issues and tailor his presentation to his audience - no matter who that audience is. As a team leader, I have found that he raises the level of work of those around him."

Litigation lawyer | Jun 13

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known John for over 22 years and have worked with him during most of that time, including over 15 years in the litigation department at Heller Ehrman, one of the largest law firms in the United States, where we both worked. Based on all of my years of experience working John and my experience working with hundreds of other lawyers, I can endorse John as one of the best litigators and trial lawyers I know."

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.
