Patrick was recommended to us by a colleague and we were very satisfied with his services. We needed assistance in a construction matter and Patrick was very knowledgeable and professional.

Patrick Phillips excels in all areas of quality! He is very professional and especially knowledgeable regarding the specifics of construction. Further, he is adept at listening to my explanations and translating them into effective legalize. Patrick stays cool while others in the room are becoming argumentative or aggressive. He wins this way! Patrick Phillips has defended and protected my business and me several times, with excellent winning results in each case. I am happy to recommend Patrick and Greenfield, Bost & Kliros to others.

Hired Attorney

Mr. Phillips is the best Attorney that I have ever worked with! He is extremely professional, kind, knowledgeable and understanding. This was the first time that I have ever been presented with a lawsuit and it was complicated in the facts, not to mention the very dishonest posturing of opposing counsel, made the process even more taxing on me than one can ever imagine. Mr. Phillips very much regarded the affect that the legal ramification posed on my business and me personally and was steadfast in protecting both my professional standing and personal trust that I have worked so hard to attain for over 30 years. As a man it is very difficult to let anyone know that you are afraid and highly concerned for your business and personal future, and I was just that. However, Mr. Phillips provided me with a great sense of calm by his attitude, wisdom, intellect, organization, strategic thinking, professional counsel, and sometimes personal conversation in regards to my general well-being.

It was refreshing to work with someone who explained the issues involved in our case clearly and honestly, and who help prepare us - knowing that this process was something that we have not had to deal with in the past.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
