Phil has been my attorney for 12 years and have been 100% on the money. He also has become a good friend, and will go the extra mile for a client. He has both defended and pursued various cases over the years and has done a superb job. He is reasonable with his fees, and many times overlooks the nickel/dime stuff. He is a cool customer on the outside, but can really turn up the heat during depositions/meetings/court etc. Will also point you in the right direction if there is an issue or case that may not suit his expertise. Highly recommend using Phil Croessmann..
