Failure to fullfil obligations

This person has failed to complete the work he has contracted to do, did not give a reason as to why he would not complete the job or extend an apology. He has failed to return my phone calls or emails for over 3 months. Christopher Philips lacks professional and personal integrity and is not to b...e trusted.

I am sorry that I was unable to assist you in your issues. However, no attorney/client agreement was ever entered into and no money ever changed hands. Of course, I will not go into details but the 'potential client' leaving this remark was not harmed in any way. I wish you the best of luck in the future.

There are still some honest lawyers out there

I, like many have been thrown under the bus by unethical criminals (oops I mean lawyers in Sacramento). They don't come more honest than Chris. He has a low stressed attitude, but he's a deep thinker and fights for his clients. If you meet with him and you don't have a case, he will tell you right... away, instead of taking your money and a year later you hear that you have no case. I've referred him to SEVERAL family members and co-workers. Their decision was unanimous - - this guys knows his stuff. Plus, he has a beautiful family.

"Christopher Phillips believes in "telling it like it is" instead of sugar coating the truth to make it more palatable. Real folks don't need to continue to lie to themselves when they have financial problems & real attorneys like Chris Phillips shoot straight and do themselves proud by their honest and sincere answers to legal questions. Congratulations Christopher, you are a suburb attorney & are outstanding in your field."

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.
