Karen was referred to me by another attorney that does not handle criminal law. That in itself speaks volumes as a trusted member in the legal community. She was able to keep me from seeing the inside of the court room and a criminal charge off my record. The communication before and after my court date was beyond amazing also. Her excellent counsel was very much appreciated and kept things in perspective during a somewhat stressful situation.

I am almost fifty years old and have never had a run in with the law. I had a momentary lapse of better judgement and was facing six months in jail at the behest of the complaintent which I had never met in my life. Long story short, attorney Karen Phillips was able to work with me and the county prosecutor to resolve the the case to all parties satisfaction. I would highly recommend Ms. Karen Phillips as an attorney for anyone who is facing a criminal offense. She is very professional and effective and will treat one with the utmost respect.

I had a very serious case in which jail time was on the table and had Karen not been my lawyer, I couldn't have said that I wouldn't serve time. I was facing two felonies and a misdemeanor. Her experience and knowledge was a must with my case and her work ethic for me was next to none. She's very easy to talk to and someone that's very genuine, honest, trustworthy, and understanding. In a tough time Karen was there for me and my situation and was willing to work with me as my main residence is out of state, in California. When it was all said and done she worked out a deal that handed me probation with no jailtime and essentially my life back. What was such a hard case and even harder time, she always gave me the peace of mind. I wouldn't do it again without Karen. THANKS KAREN!

Karen went above and beyond my expectations. Before my arraignment, she explained my possible outcomes, which was expected to be either probation, or community service and fines. She was fully prepared while speaking to the judge, and the judge settled on only a fine as discipline. I credit that all to Karen. She is very calm and relaxed, which helped a lot during this difficult time. I would recommend her to anyone in need of legal advice.

Karen did a wonderful job with my case and never failed to return my calls or emails. She is great at her job and clearly cares about her clients! I highly recommend her to anybody in need of representation!

Karen recently represented me in a reckless driving case and did a fantastic job! I had two charges against me, both severe enough to affect my employment. The outcome Karen eventually negotiated exceeded all of my expectations. She had an incredible attention to detail with every aspect of the case. She was extremely knowledgeable of the police involved, the court, and the process. She responded to each and every call or email the same day (almost every time within an hour). Karen was a fantastic lawyer and worked hard for a successful outcome. This was my first (and hopefully only) time needing a lawyer and I couldn't have made a better choice! Thanks again Karen.

I was represented by Karen Phillips and she did a wonderful job representing me as well as fullfilling her job to get my drivers license back. She remained calm and knowledgable about the case. I was impressed with her and greatful for her service.

Karen did a great job appealing a suspension following a court reporting error. Karen and her team worked very quickly and kept me informed along the way. I would highly recommend Karen if you have any issues surrounding your drivers license.

Karen Philips promptly returned a phone call and politely and correctly answered all my questions. She has a kind demeanor and shows a high-end knowledge of the Driver's License Restoration process. Her reputation proceeds her and she is well known through the community and state.

My driver's license was "temporarily" suspended due to a medical instance. When I tried to get it back, the State of Michigan kept "evading" my attempts. Since nothing I did was good enough for them, I hired Karen Phillips to assist me. She helped me out tremendously and I finally got my license back. Most correspondence was done by e-mail (at my request) and the responses to my questions or statements were always quick. If you have a problem with your driver's license, I recommend getting help from her.
