What our Clients say about our results
I hope to NEVER again need a defense attorney for the rest of my life, but for anyone who I come across that does, Dean is definitely the best choice. I was referred to him by another top lawyer and it turned out to be a great recommendation. Jennifer was awesome to deal too. You'll be hard pressed to find a better defense attorney in Cobb than Mr. Dean Phillips. He'll tell you up front what's gonna happen and he's absolutely right.
This is the second time in my life that I had the need to hire an attorney. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS about The Phillips Law Firm. From the phone consultation, I immediately loved Mr Dean Phillips. The other staff that I had the pleasure of interacting with, Jennifer and Stephanie, we're always extraordinary, even though I had a moment where I contracted pneumonia and didn't show up for court!. Everyone there feels like family! They did an outstanding job! My DUI case was just dismissed this week, a couple of months after I hired them! Mr. Phillips was very reasonable with the fee he charged me. I hope to not need to hire another attorney for any criminal charges!! However, if the need arose, this law firm is the only call I will make! I highly recommend Mr Dean Phillips! His amazing reviews are the reason I called him first! I didn't have to call anyone else!
