About

Consistently rated Top Attorney in Pennsylvania and Philadelpia  area with  over 30 years experience.  I devote myself to helping my clients work through stressful situations with the least amount of turmoil, and with the best result;  to making the legal system understandable, and making your interactions with the system as pain free and rewarding as possible.  We  have expertise working with high net worth families.   Whenever possible,  our firm encourages parties to consider Mediation and/or Collaborative Divorce, because we find the long-term outcome for the parties and children usually is more favorable then litigation.     I  have completed  advanced  trainings in Mediation.    Before  founding Bookspan Family Law, LLC.,  I was a  law professor and  entrepreneur.    This background  enhances my ability to  understand the complexities of each matter and  the realities of life.  My firm is dedicated  to finding solutions and striving for results that are best for you and your family.

I chose Phyllis Bookspan to help me through my divorce because I wanted a barracuda with a heart. When I looked at her background, I was impressed with her credentials (Georgetown Law-I knew she would be intelligent and hard-working) but also knew she would be the right lawyer for me because of her background in Yoga and Mindfulness. I walked into her office looking for a collaborative divorce, but when she heard my history she put down her notes and clearly told me exactly why that would be the wrong decision. She will tell you the truth, be empathetic but professional, and listen to your feedback as you go through the process. Divorce is hard, but I knew I had the right lawyer on my team from the very beginning.

Phyllis and her team are pros. My situation was a bit messy, but they knew the case, the numbers and negotiated hard on my behalf to ensure a fair settlement.

Phyllis is an excellent attorney. She understands the process, both family court and divorce court thoroughly. She was patient, empathetic and always available. She explained everything along the way and fought for me. I am grateful to have found her. Divorce is a terrible situation to endure, but with the right attorney it makes it much less painful. Phyllis is all that & more.

Phyllis Bookspan was compassionate and supportive throughout my divorce proceedings. While she consistently gave great advice and made recommendations on process and decisions, she gave me the room to make the final call and was consistently supportive. My recent divorce would not have been as simple had Phyllis not been on my side. I highly recommend Phyllis Bookspan as a professional and caring attorney.

I recently needed an attorney to help me. My experience in the past with other attorney’s was very negative, until I met Miss Bookspan. She is professional, organized, and does her homework. She takes the time to know the facts and presents them to the judge impressively. Another thing that I would like to mention about Miss Bookspan, she made sure our case was one of the first cases to hear. She knew that we were concerned about cost and she made sure that the court time was cut in half. I can say, without a doubt, if you need an attorney, call her. You will not be sorry. Her work, and the way she handled everything about our case was with a high degree of excellence. Dale

Phyllis is extremely communicative and has helped me greatly with my divorce proceedings, walking me through the process and educating me every step along the way. She's also helped with overall strategy and tactical advice, all with a very kind and human touch. It's been a pleasure working with her!

Phyllis Bookspan is a dedicated and resourceful attorney. Ms. Bookspan works tirelessly to gather all pertinent facts, research all relevant data, and familiarize herself with all aspects of her cases in order to ensure that her clients receive the best representation possible. She is insightful, intuitive, and intelligent and has a broad understanding of human nature as well as of the law. While she is polite, friendly and warm and always seeks a fair resolution, when one cannot be reached, she is a worthy and tenacious opponent in court. Phyllis Bookspan has gracefully handled my divorce proceedings and has made me feel at ease throughout a difficult situation. I would recommend Phyllis Bookspan highly and without reservation.

Phyllis was extremely professional. Her ability to sense and respond to my needs within the case while at the same time utilize her knowledge and strength were exceptional.
