The little law firm that can.

large Firm Quality, small firm service

Our attorneys draw upon their diverse backgrounds to provide strategic and creative solutions to complex legal problems. Our diversity includes backgrounds in engineering and business to political science, education, mathematics, insurance and journalism. As trial lawyers, we have nearly 100 years of combined legal experience. We thoroughly analyze each and every detail to craft solid legal strategies that are aimed at results - while remaining well-grounded in the law. Our attention to detail has helped not only to achieve results, but also to shape and define the law. 

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

Our principles make us different.  We developed our principles to remind us what is important in the law.  Our principles have been on our letterhead for 25 years, since we started in business.  Not everyone sees our principles, but everyone benefits from their existence. Our clients benefit most. 

OUR PRINCIPLES –

HONESTY – We make our clients successful by being honest.  –  We tell the clients what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear. We honestly evaluate our client’s legal problems. If a solution exists, we find it. If a case can be won, we win it.  We will not waste our clients’ money by advancing a legal theory that we know is not winnable. We are honest, because our clients and our respect of the legal system deserve the truth.

DIGNITY – We solve our clients’ problems.  –  We treat our clients with value, honor and respect. Every client is our most important client.  We will protect and fight for our clients within the bounds of the law.  We will not engage in unethical conduct.  No client ever benefitted from unethical behavior.  Like our clients, we are in business for the long term, where there is no room for undignified behavior.

EQUALITY – We work with our clients as part of a team.  –  We listen to the client.  We take the time to hear our clients’ stories, whether it be a business matter, the death of a loved one, money problems, family problems, or planning an estate.  Together, we develop a strategy.  We keep clients informed of our progress, and when it happens, we deliver bad news to our clients.  We talk to our clients as our equals, and we use terms that the client understands, not legal jargon.  If we must use legal terms, we take the time to explain the terms to our clients.  With our clients as our partner, we find solutions.

JUSTICE – We seek justice for our clients.  –  We help our clients find justice.  We understand that justice is the result of a search for facts to support the truth, through the guidance of the law. We develop the facts and the law needed to make our clients’ cases winnable.  We are responsible for our clients.  Our clients rely upon us to make their businesses successful, to protect their families, and to litigate when necessary to protect either.  We are not afraid to go to trial, and we embrace the challenge.

COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE – We are more than a one problem solving law firm.  –  Many law firms choose to practice in only one area, such as personal injury law, because it is easy.  At Phillips Law Firm, Inc., we choose to practice in all areas of the law, because it is exciting.  Our lawyers know how to find the right answer to any legal problem.  As we represent our clients, it matters not if we are handling a personal injury case, or a complex environmental defense. We search through the laws, the regulations, and prior cases to support the right outcome for our clients.  We may not know the answer to the client’s problem when the phone rings, but we enjoy the thought of finding the answer, and we are good at what we do.  Being more than a one problem solving law firm gives our clients the quality of a big firm, with the service of a small firm.  At Phillips Law Firm, Inc., being a lawyer is more than just a way to make a living.  Our clients hire us because we can find the answers, and we can find the answers because we love what we do.
