Banks, Stubbs & McFarland LLP Pro

I am delighted to share my positive experience with Phil Pilgrim, my criminal lawyer. Phil's expertise and dedication secured me a fantastic plea deal, demonstrating his skill in navigating legal complexities. His strategic approach, clear communication, and commitment to my case made a significant impact. I highly recommend Phil Pilgrim for anyone seeking a proficient and results-driven criminal defense attorney.

Phil Pilgrim represented me today in a felony warrant case. After meeting with Phil to review my case i knew that i had hired the right attorney for the job. In Court is where Phil shined. Once he got done with his closing statements i knew as did everyone in the courtroom what the judge was about to say..Not Guilty!! If you need an intelligent , confident, attorney who can think outside the box and will go the extra mile to insure victory call Phil Pilgrim! Don Ariail

The voters that voted for the # 1 law firm in Forsyth County certainly got it right.I have firsthand knowledge using Banks, Stubbs and Macfarland LLP. I have had the privilege of working with this law firm with four separate cases, one divorce case, a criminal case, a motorcycle accident along with a injury case, and one additional case to represent my daughter in a car accident. If there was one lawyer that I could give credit to I would, however the entire firm collectively at one time or another with different cases has given me excellent advice and representation and has prevailed in each and every case they have represented me in. It’s not just the lawyers that represent their clients, but the entire staff is dedicated to professional service. When I first needed their services over seven years ago, I asked several people who the best Lawfirm was in Forsyth County. It was unanimous and they provided the Firm of Banks, Stubbs, and Macfarland LLP. This was the right decision.

I must admit, I believed the hype of the "ONE CALL" law firms and reached out to them first when I was involved in an accident. The larger, "ONE CALL" firm didn't take the time to listen to my case and were quick to dismiss it as not worth their their time. Then I contacted Parker McFarland who took the time to meet and listen to me. What impressed me most was that after explaining what had happened, Parker instructed his assistant to immediately start working on finding and preserving evidence. Parker and his assistant were very diligent and kept me updated throughout the process. It was clear that they wanted to get me the care that I needed to recover from the accident. This is a professional firm that truly cares about the well being of their clients.

Every case is different, but I couldn't have asked for better results from Mr. Banks. He took a 2nd DUI to court and got a not guilty. He saved my cdl's, me jailtime, and a lot of headache. He got several motions passed that were key in my case. Not to mention, he had some excellent arguments in the courtroom. He will help you decide the best way to handle your case and resolve it in your best interest. He was able to lift some weight off my shoulders and I would definetly recommend him.

I used Mr. Banks for a DUI case, that got a Not Guilty. Things couldn't have worked out better for me. His legal assistant, Mrs. Moore, kept me up to date and answered all my questions. Mr. Banks spoke highly of his partners and mentioned that Mr. Stubbs had even been before the US Supreme Court. Each lawyer has a few areas they specialize in, so they can handle almost any form of litigation. All I can tell you is Mr. Banks helped get me out of a jam. I know i'd recommend his firm.

A more than reliable and astute attorney that will attain the desired results.
