I had been arrested for a D.U.I. and two other tickets. I contacted several attorneys via internet and Mr. Phillips personally called me back within about 30 minutes which immediately impressed me. I assumed that a paralegal or associate would be doing the initial call, so this was a pleasant surprise. This was my very first time encountering any sort of D.U.I. charge, so I had no idea what I was doing and I was very frightened. Mr. Phillips was very friendly, down to earth, and consoling over the phone. Not only was he the was the first attorney I spoke with, but he also assured me that he could help me and would be determined to get the best results possible for me. Mr. Phillips was able to get the charges drastically reduced. He was able to get my D.U.I. reduced to wreckless driving and my other two tickets dismissed. He was also able to get the judge to agree that after I was finished with probation, fines, et cetera, to withhold the charge from my record and called me after court to let me know that he would do the paperwork to have this done AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE! Mr. Phillips is knowledgeable, professional, attentive to any requests, got the outcome I wanted (but thought was unachievable), and truly seems to care about what is legally right and wrong. He kept me informed and was ALWAYS available to speak with me about any questions or concerns I had regarding my case. If you are looking for ideal representation, then James Phillips is the attorney for you. I will highly recommend him to all of my friends and family in the future. He is outstanding.

From the very moment I called and spoke with James Phillips, he made me feel very comfortable about leaving my future in his hands. I have never been in trouble with the law, and was facing criminal and civil charges based on a improper investigation. The fees that Katz & Phillips charged were very reasonable, and given the amount of work that my attorney, James Phillips and his team did, it was well worth every cent. Every time I called the office to get an update, the entire team was very helpful and empathetic to my worries and concerns. They always treated me with the utmost respect and sought to get answers quickly for all of my questions. Another benefit to using Katz & Phillips was that they use a very informational based system called MyCase, where I could log-in to see the status on my case, as well as documents and upcoming dates for any events pertaining to my case. All-in-all, James Phillips got all of my charges dropped and I can now return to my life as it was before this incident! I have, and will always, appreciate the hard work of all the professionals involved in helping me get through this event!!

I have to say i have never hired a private attorney before. I always used a public defender. Well i was facing my 3rd felony, and felt prison was my future. I hired james, and the best quality i liked about him, is he tells you how it is. He doesnt sugar coat anything. He said it would be a uphill battle,but i listened to all his advice on what he wanted me to do. He took care of my appestances in court so i didnt have to sit and worry all day at the courthouse. Well against all the odds of everything, he got me probation instead of any jail time. I am home with my children. I would like to say to anyone thinking of hiring a attorney, yes its somewhat expensive, and times are hard. But your life, freedom is priceless. I am so happy i choose Mr. Phillips to defend me. He will fight for you. I cant stress enough to anyone who is in a legal situation, it is SO important to have a lawyer on your side fighting as if it was their life on the line. That person for me was James Phillips. So thankyou so very much........Jennifer Ragin

Prior to choosing Katz and Phillips as the attorney to represent me for my DUI case I called 8-10 other attorneys. James Phillips took his time on the phone to explain everything to me while most of the other attorneys seemed like used car salesmen making pitches. I honestly felt like he cared and after meeting him in person it solidified my decision on choosing him. He took me step by step through the process and this lifted much of the stress and uncertainty off my shoulders. I was able to sleep at night and continue my daily routines. I honestly forgot I had the arrest for days at a time. I knew he would look out for my best interest... and he did. In the end, as bad as the police report made me look, he got my DUI down to reckless driving, even getting it expunged off my record. And even after I paid him in full he continued to work hard on my case (and is still giving me advice to this day). Choosing Katz and Phillips was by far the best decision I have ever made. Thank you Mr. Phillips!

Judy - Nov 30, 2011 I was involved in a domestic violence with a gun situation. This was my only experience with law enforcement and I was scared to death. I contacted James Phillips on a Saturday morning and he drove to my location and met with me within 2 hours. James listened to me and gave me hope that I would be able to return to my home and family. James was able to move my hearing date up substantially and I was able to return home and be with my family for Thanksgiving. He was then able to get the case dismissed. This was a very serious charge that was the result of a terrible misunderstanding that could have ruined my life. Fortunately, I chose James Phillips and he did not let that happen. If you are looking for an attorney that cares about his clients, James Phillips is the best. Thank you James for restoring my faith.

James Phillips handled my case and got me a great result. It was apparent at my hearing that he had spent a lot of time on my case and was very prepared. Besides getting a great result I was also pleased with how easily it was to speak to my attorney when I had questions. Also another great thing about this firm is that although Mr. Phillips was my attorney, Mr. Katz was able to talk to me about my case and answer my questions when Mr. Phillips was not available. You truly get a team of attorneys when you hire this firm. I would highly recommend the attorneys of Katz & Phillips to anyone.

I had a good experience with Katz and Phillips law firm. James Phillips was assigned to my case when I was wrongfully arrested and accused of attempted robbery and criminal mischief. James worked hard to collect and analyze the facts. From the very beginning he showed an interest in my case and with me facing having to go to prison and serious criminal charges, he was able to work out a deal to have my case dismissed. Thank God I am a free man and thanks to the wonderful work of James Phillips and his relentless pursuit of the truth.

I hired James Phillips for my 2nd DUI and 1st felony case. He worked very hard through the entire process. He also kept me informed throughout the whole process and all I received was good news! My DUI was dropped to a reckless driving, no jail time, and he kept my license from being revoked for 5 years. He also accomplished dismissal of all tickets and got my felony case dropped! James Phillips is the way to go! He will fight till the end!

I was in the unenviable position of being in Misdemeanor court in Osceola County and facing a year in jail. I was obviously nervous and very concerned. Luckily, Matthew Gunter was my attorney. Mr. Gunter calmly explained the situation I was in and explained my options to me in a way that I could understand. Ultimately he got me through a bad situation. I would recommend Matthew Gunter to anyone.

Mr Katz is extremely knowledgeable and respected in the legal world. He knew exactly what we were getting into in my DUI case, and he held my safety and security as the first priority. With his gentle persuasion and assurance that everything would be fine we took my case to court, and my DUI was obliterated. I got a "not guilty" thanks to him. I would recommend him to anybody facing a DUI charge.

No second choice on which attorneys you should want to help you. Strongly recommend this law firm.

James Phillips worked miracles in my case. He was able to get me into an otherwise unlikely Pre-Trial Diversion Program to avoid any trial or conviction. The retainer I paid was reasonable and there were no additional fees or tricky contracts. He was very professional in my case and got right to the point. I would recommend his services to anyone.

The outcome was exactly what I hoped for and I would most defiantly recommend Matt Gunter and the law firm.

I worked directly with Mr. Phillips and his associates stemming from two separates cases across two counties. James and his team worked collectively and passionately to resolve both issues. It was refreshing to be represented by individuals who have a true concern for your overall well being.

Matt Gunter represented me on a DUI charge . I was very impressed with him in court and how well prepared he was for jury selection and questioning the witnesses . If you are looking for a plea deal most lawyers can handle that .If you need to go to trial I would recommend Matthew Gunter.

David Katz is unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful. When I was arrested for DUI he went above and beyond, waiting over 2 hours to see the judge and fight for adjudication of my record. He truly cares about the people he represents and does not view them as just a case or arrest record.
