Reviews for James
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Very impressed and extremely satisfied! Was facing a 2nd DUI just within 5 years of each other, so I was against very harsh penalties. I never would have recovered from the sentencing. I'm thankful every day that I found Mr. Phillips. There wasn't a single day where I lost my privilege to drive. Of course I was a nervous wreck leading up to my final judgement, but on the days I had in courthouse I felt better by the minute when I watched Mr. Phillips in action. He was awesome! NOT GUILTY!
I was arrested for suspected DUI 4 months ago. I came across Katz and Phillips website, filled in a few things and within 10 minutes James called me and gave me some advise. The hearing was yesterday and Mr. Phillips left no stone unturned when questioning the police officers, he was professional, articulate and to the point. Today he called me to tell me the case had been suppressed and there will be no trial. I would have no hesitation recommending James Phillips.
I was extremely pleased with his service. James is a great attorney and I recommend him to anyone needing legal services!! He is very professional, competent, and knowledgeable. He works with authority and confidence. You never have to wonder about what is going on with your case, James keeps you informed of the latest status of your case. Furthermore, he is always available for any questions you may have. James always holds his client’s best interest in his hand.
I contacted several attorneys via internet & Mr. Phillips personally called back which impressed me. He was very friendly, down to earth, & consoling. Not only was he the 1st attorney I spoke with, he also assured me he could help me & would be determined to get the best results possible. He got my DUI reduced to wreckless & my other 2 tickets dismissed. He also got the judge to agree to withhold the charge from my record.
I retained James D. Phillips in July of 2012, i was very pleased with his service.
I felt very comfortable with him from day one he made me feel like i was his only client. He was always quick to respond when i called with questions and always stayed in touch to let me know what to expect along the way.
In September 2012 Mr Phillips represented me in court and my charges and arrested were thrown out!! I will always recommend James Phillips to anyone needing legal representation in the future.
Paid James D. Phillips, Jr. thousands, never heard from again until half hour before my court date where he didn't even show up, his partner did. No communication, zero representation from beginning to end even now refuses to call. I'm a Vietnam veteran, he took my money and that was it. Period.
