Hired Attorney

Phil helped me with my divorce this year, and I found his legal expertise to be excellent. He was helpful and caring. He listened to my concerns and responded clearly. He helped draft a divorce agreement that was clear and without unnecessary language. I appreciated how much he listened to what I was hoping for the agreement to be, and he ensured that my concerns were addressed reasonably and clearly, without fostering conflict. I recommend Phil for a divorce attorney.

If you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse already made agreements on what you both want out of the divorce, then move forward with Phil as a mediator. However, if you’re a father who wants equal parenting with your child(ren), then I highly recommend that you don’t use Phil a mediator. Quick backstory: I’ve been a super involved father, even prior to the divorce. For example, on top of being with my son on days I had to work from home, I would spend evenings with my son during the week and the weekends (includes making dinner, bathing him, and putting him down to sleep). Not to mention his mother would not be home during most of those times. I would also take my son to most of his doctor’s appointments. This was all something I shared with Phil during mediation. On top of making concessions on other parental legal issues, I told him all I honestly care about is having 4 overnights one week and 3 overnights the following week with my son. I even brought with me a letter from my supervisor s

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.
