Posted by Brian | July 16, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Professional, experienced, meticulous Attorney at law.

Obtaining the results of a background check for a job interview. I found a false claim against my civil record. I called Mrs Phillips to seek legal help. After reviewing my situation, Mrs Phillips discussed my options and developed a plan of action against these false charges. With her years of ex...perience in law, courtroom practice and dealings with the court process, Mrs Philips was able to have this false charge expunged and cleared from my record indefinitely. I do know of many lawyers that would go the extra mile to make sure justice is served with a caring and meticulous persona. You will not find a better lawyer to help you through your situation.

Diana Phillips is simply the best.

Diana Phillips is a woman that knows her job. I'm way up in Michigan and had a warrant in chattanooga. It was a mess of a case. Ms. Phillips not only picked up the pieces i left behind but she resolved the whole thing for me at a very reasonable rate. She cleared my name just like she said she would ...and in fact went above and beyond her part of the deal. Best attorney I've ever had. I'll never use another should the need arise. Diana Phillips is the best there is at what she does no doubt about it and anyone out there that needs help like I did there is no better option.

Diana Phillips...Excellent Attorney

Diana was able to help a family member receive the best outcome possible in his case. She was great, cared about his outcome & him as a person, & afterward, she even offered a recommendation for some help with a medical matter, which we are so very grateful for. I highly recommend her....!!!

Diana Phillips

I was in a tough situation, new to the area when I found Diana's number. She made time to sit and talk to me about my options and was very transparent about how it could work out. She was vigilant about working on my case and always kept me up to date with updates. I am so very grateful that I hap...pened to find her. Everything worked out the way it was supposed to some good some bad. But that's what happened sometimes. I'm not complaining because in the end everything worked out perfectly! she's very fair with her fees and she's very flexible with her payment options. Thank you so much Diana for helping me have a second chance!

Her excellent reviews led me to contact Diana. Still feeling shocked concerning my case, as I had never in my life received such a charge, Diana was understanding and comforting. Hearing my account, she shared the defense process and strategies available to me. From a ministry background, one of t...he strategies which could lead to a dismissal and expungement appealed to me. Carefully following Diana's direction, that was the very outcome I received! She was Outstanding and it was a Pleasure to be represented by her!
