Best Lawyer ever!

I hired Phil almost 5 years ago for my divorce. He was extremely helpful and understanding of my situation.Which is rare with lawyers. He was kind and extremely knowledgeable about family law. My divorce was a legal separation as neither of us filed the last paper to concrete the divorce that was alr...eady in place -- against Phil's advice as there was Domestic Violence that had occurred.I recently called Phil and he remembered me, and my two children. We filed the last document and I am now happily divorced.Phil was very compassionate.

Family lawyer | Jun 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
