Hired Attorney Jacob Phillips

The attorney above failed to represent all clients in the Geico total loss class action for 19.5 million. The entire time while the case was being heard, I and other class members were told we would be paid $2051.98 sales tax award, and it was confirmed that my claim was valid, as were others. After waiting 2 years, I finally received a payment check, for the ridiculous amount of $6.88. I have not received the big check. What did happen was the $2051.98 checks, were sent to class members, but made out to the DEFENDANTS' and some auto repair shop Geico uses to repair their damaged cars. That was their first mistake, we were told to send it back. That's who is getting our bigger checks. There is something huge going on here between these people and it's called a con. They steal your award, with excuses and lies.

Hired Attorney Benjamin Taylor

Horrible attorney. Handled a civil case regarding a trust and failed to bring the trust to the trial. He was more concerned about finding a babysitter than he was with my case. He had all the paperwork on the case for a year, but I had to re- explain everything to him. He handled himself like a first year attorney. He let the defendants attorney run circles around him. He pretends his religion is important but anyone with a heart or brain would not conduct themselves in this manner!!! If you want to lose your case——he’s your guy!!!! Horrible attorney and human!

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.
