Phil is friendly and the office staff is nice but he is inept as a family lawyer. I should've listened to my gut when he couldn't articulate a plan, go over a detailed strategy, offer past experience or guess at odds. I spent almost a year and several thousands dollars on an outcome I feel would've been better had I not hired any lawyer. He did absolutely nothing to advocate for my position or to correct past mistakes made. The process was delayed and drawn out at every turn and at the hourly rate I see why. I was charged thousands of dollars for "trial prep" for everything to just be decided without me behind closed doors and a trial avoided all together. No details were ever discussed with me, I was just told this is what it is we can file a motion later to fix it. If you don't want to pay $300/ hour for someone to jerk you around hire a different lawyer or file the motions yourself. This case was family law I cannot speak to any other areas. To clear I wasn't trying to take my ex for everything and get sole custody or asking for an unfair/ unreasonable outcome. I was asking for a proportionate split and that was not achieved.
