Travelled to country Vic for my case and the outcome was so much more than expected. Thank you Phil for amazing work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is coming from someone who hates lawyers because of recent first hand experience. Phil did exceptional work for me. Within an hour meeting he understood my situation perfectly, and represented me in court so well we reached an outcome neither of us could have imagined.

When asked his prices, he gave a simple one sentence answer. No nonsense. It does cost some money but the only thing more expensive than an expensive lawyer is a cheap lawyer.

The only bad thing I have to say is he is making me rethink my prejudices towards his profession. I would definitely rely on Phil’s council in the future if need be.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was lucky enough to have a mate that had been in several of the circumstances I found myself in recently, this was not the first time but the first time I reached out further than the abilities that Victoria Legal Aid should have serious concerns about. The legal aid attorney provided me with incorrect timeframes (50% less than the correct penalty) that were before the court today. If I didn’t reach out for an obligation free consultation, I would have represented myself and more than likely responding in a defensive manner that would have made things MUCH worse for myself. This is the person to call for help outside the capacity of family and friends when facing legal matters that have the ability to change your life forever. Thank you so much Phil. You have saved my life in a physical and mental sense. He also helps the community in another way that immediately earnt my respect as a professional and a committed member of the community in such a great way, please see the attached image in relation to that area of help.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Phil’s someone you hope you never need, but when you do all you will ever need. Most lawyers have a grasp of legal matters, the way Phil practices law is the true differentiation. He will guide you through in plain English and more like an old friend than a service provider. Like a friend, he will give it to you straight but in a way that leaves you feeling like he’s got your back rather being handed a new one. A coffee after a milestone, thanks Phil 🙏
