Smart, kind and quick to respond. I wish he practiced close to my home.
I incorrectly posted a negative review for this lawyer, which I am hoping will be removed shortly. John has a heart and goes out of his way to make the client feel important and defended. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you John - you are a lawyer I can trust.
I came to John Phillips office with little or no hope that I could prove my innocence or survive the alligations against me, I didn't think I would survive emotionally what myself and family were being put through. John along with Reid Hart listen to my story, they explained to me what they could do help me,and how they would go about helping me.My family and I felt so much better about my case and my chances of clearing my name after my conversation with John Phillips, and Ried Hart. I don't know if I would have ever gotten through this ordeal if a friend hadn't suggested that I go speak with John. Every motion they file every question they ask is all tied into getting to the truth,and giving you the best chance of victory I will never use another Law Firm other John Phillips Law firm for anything legal that might come up on my life again. Law firms like John Phillips and Lawyers like Reid Hart don't come like grapes in Bunches.
John Phillips is the most caring and compassionate attorney I have every encountered. John works tirelessly for his clients and not afraid to represent the little guy against big companies. John represented me in a case where a notable and infamous public figure violated the copyright of my work. John got my story out to local and national news agencies and was successful in obtaining a positive outcome in my case. John is the best!
My husband and I were in a wreck. John helped us find doctors as my pcp didn't take my insurance and helped us through the settlement. we dealt with the case managers and an attorney from day one. I think his name was TC. We settled our case fairly and didnt have to pay full medical bills. I was surprised at how insurance worked.
John Philips was not my assigned lawyer, but he did take part in my case with helping out whenever he could. He is an exceptional lawyer and a wonderful person, He truly cares for his clients. He helped me in a way that not many lawyers or people would ever do.
I had an accident and John explained everything, helped me with all of the paperwork and made the process of getting back to a new level of normal easier that I thought it would be.
John handled an automobile accident claim for a back injury. He was nice and even did a free living will at the end. His staff was great handling my case. Great lawyer.
I got cited for boating and drinking and other violations. John helped straighten things out and helped us on another issue, too. He also gave us free living wills and looked at our insurance. Great guy.
I found John on his radio show and asked a question. He gave me a perspective that I called his office. I had an injury and a lawsuit wasn't my thing, but he explained the way insurance worked and how this was a matter of accountability to get bad commercial drivers off the road. This one was terrible and John found another wreck he caused. We settled the case and I feel like we made the roads a little safer.
