Life Saver

Let me tell you about Mr. Phoenix. He is a life saver. Without him, I would have lost my job. When I first met him, I was panicking. He calmed me down and explained thoroughly why I should not be worried. He made me feel like I had a team on my side. I was terrified that I would have a crimin...al record but he played all of his cards right and got me a great deal. He always returned my phone calls, gave me honest advice and was always respectful. He filed lots of motions and always explained what they were for and why he was filing them. As a result, he got two of my charges completely dismissed, and a third one downgraded to a non-felony. I am truly blessed to have had him. I can never repay him.

Excellent Lawyer

I highly recommend Jawanza Phoenix. My experience was the exact opposite of the other reviewer. Mr. Phoenix went over every part of my case and carefully explained my options. He told me the pros and cons of going to trial or taking a plea and he allowed me to make an informed decision. He was ve...ry knowledgeable about the facts of my case and the law. He did not try to force me to take a deal and he told me the consequences of every choice I might make. The truth is the whole justice system sucks. The laws are too strict and the punishments are too harsh. Mr. Phoenix does the best he can to try to help people within a broken system.
