I first met Phil when we were both involved in a very complex felony case involving multiple co-defendants down in Pierce County. Phil impressed me as a fearless litigator who represented his client as if he was representing his own family. He has lots of trial experience and is not afraid to take on any case or anyone for that matter. He loves being a trial lawyer and goes that extra mile for his clients. I would definitely recommend Mr. Sayles.

If you are facing criminal prosecution in Snohomish County or King County, Phil Sayles is the attorney you should contact. When any of my clients, colleagues, or close associates need a referral for a serious felony offense, I send them to Phil. He is respected by both prosecutors and defense attorneys for his negotiating and trial skills. I respect him because I am sure he gives prosecutors nightmares and bad dreams.

Phil is one of the most tenacious criminal defense lawyers I know. He's also incredibly bright and clever. That's why I asked him to help me on an attempted murder case last year. Thanks to his insights and encouragement, I was able to resolve this extremely difficult case in a fashion that pleased my client. I would not hesitate to send a referral to Phil.
