Disappointing and Aggravating

Another reviewer summarized my experience so well I am going to quote liberally from them: I worked with Steve Phillips in a civil case. Working with Steve Phillips and his paralegal was a needlessly frustrating, exhausting, and difficult experience. They made numerous mistakes, lost documents and em...ails, made me and my attorneys do 90% of the work, and filed significantly later than was originally promised without explanation or apology (his fee approval, however, he was VERY sure to proactively file with the court). It was terrible and it took a toll on my emotional health. During my work with him and during our hearing with the judge it became apparent that Steve knew nothing about my case or my children's situation. I only worked with him because I was required to do so by the court; if a law firm has employees that do such shoddy work I would think twice before working with anyone at this firm.

Wouldn't even take my case

I had a contentious family law case a couple years back and this guy took a $150 consultation fee, told me I was unhinged and that he didn't want to take my case. Present day, won my case and no thanks to this old geezer. The guy needs to retire. Do not even consult with this guy, He has no problem t...aking your consultation fee and then pushing you out the door.

DO NOT HIRE

Just do not hire! You will regret it. He showed up late. Was not prepared and then failed to complete my case before ending our contract as if it was complete.

Stephen Phillips

This attorney is not in any stretch of the imagination effective, prepared, knowledgeable or skilled in communication of any sort. He did not represent my best interest or listen to anything I had to say regarding my case. The goal of any Court proceeding is to arrive at the truth and work effective...ly from that point. He was not interested in this and seemed uninterested in anything that required work on his end.

Horrible attorney and totally incompetent

DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY. Totally unprepared, incompetent and Will overcharge you. He’s unfit to practice law.
