After a disastrous experience with another lawyer, I did my research and selected the law firm of Phillip Lemmons. After crafting a 3 pronged approach, Mr. David Chon, an attorney at the firm, was able to reverse almost all the damage caused by my first lawyer, and the law firm of Phillip Lemmons continues to represent me to this day. I am reminded of a sign that used to hang on the wall of my father's retail store: "Buy the best and cry once." With Mr. Lemmons and Mr. Chon, you can expect the best.

I have worked with Mr. Lemmons and his staff since 2004. It took he & his staff 7 long years to end an awful divorce situation due to the lack of support my ex-spouse. He & his staff were always there for me and helped me through a very difficult situation.

Phillip Lemmons was my second attorney on this case. He took over and hit the ground running--unlike my previous attorney he knew what to do right from the start. Before hiring him I had lost hope of getting anything from my Dad's trust as my step-mother was taking everything. He helped me get a far better settlement that I thought possible. You should hire this guy.

This is specific to the law firm The Legacy Lawyers (supposedly, run by lemons). Before hiring - look at other Avvo and Yelp Complaints!!!

I hired Mr. Lemmons because he sounded knowledgeable and aggressive. Only later to find out one of his colleagues would be handling my case instead. My divorce was dragged on by the attorney he pawned me off to. I was told I needed to refile for spousal support. Months later after 2 postponements and thousands of dollars later I was told days before hearing that because it was a short term marriage spousal support most likely won't be granted. Not only was it not granted, I didn't even get to see the judge. I was told to wait in the hallway! Over $12,000 and still no end in sight, I called his paralegal for an appointment with Mr. Lemmons to discuss my concerns. Instead I was transferred to my incompetent attorney who went on to belittle me, make excuses for why things were the way they were and then charged me for that call on top of that. My marriage was a short term marriage with no children. Not a complicating one. I do NOT recommend Mr. Lemmons or his Firm. Beware!
