"I endorse this lawyer. I have had cases against this lawyer. He is prepared, knows the law, and is ethical."
"I have known Phil the entirety of his career and come to respect him as a formidable opponent in court who is as equally skilled in resolving cases in mediation. Since he has been serving as a pro tem court commissioner, his litigation skills have been refined further by his focus on those facts on which he knows our judicial officers will rely. Phil is realistic and pragmatic; I have consistently relied on his judgment and intuition and will continue to do so into the future."
"Phil has an excellent grasp of the law in the ever changing family law field. He fights hard for his clients while maintaining a very high level of professional and personal ethics."
