Sarah Havens is the lawyer I want on my side in an accident. She is amazing to work with and I would recommend her to anyone. She does all the hard work and brings great results that are beyond expectation. Her para legal Tabitha quickly serves any legal requests such as records, documents, etc. They are the winning team.

I want to thank Alecia Gordon, Attorney at Law at Phillips & Pelly Accident and Injury Lawyers. I also would like to thank everyone else at the firm as well, for helping me throughout a painful car accident that totally changed my life from a day to day basis. Not only does Ms. Gordon understand the legal elements of a case, but she thoughtfully addresses the humane elements as well – the accompanying stress, anxiety, and feelings of powerlessness. She was able to defend me for a distressing and painful situation, her tranquil and compassionate performance offered emotional support to myself and those I care about most. I also really appreciated the fact that every time I had a question or concern regarding my case, she always answered my email or phone call the same day. My family and I are incredibly grateful for her services and I highly recommend Ms. Gordon without hesitation. Thank you Alecia!!

Jim and Morgan both represented me from 2019 until 2021 in several family law matters. They are both extremely attentive, highly capable and presented very well in front of the judge. My ex wife and here wildly incompetent attorneys made demands starting in 2017 for $6.5 million dollars in post divorce litigation and ultimately after 5 long and painful years, I did not have to pay her a dollar and in fact received a six figure judgment in my favor and a portion of my attorneys fees. Not every case is as complicated as mine but Jim and Morgan did exceptionally well and never missed a detail. Thank you!

I’ve been a family law attorney for almost 30 years in San Diego County. I met Mr. Ratzer years ago as opposing counsel on a complex child custody case. Mr. Ratzer impressed me as an exceptional and aggressive advocate for his client. He was very well prepared before and during trial. Mr. Ratzer and his staff were ethical, professional and honest in that case, and subsequent encounters. I endorse his law office because Mr. Ratzer is both capable and competent.

Jim Ratzer a truly skilled lawyer. I met Jim in the early 1990’s when we were opposing counsel in a case that involved a serious injury in a high impact auto collision. I soon came to realize that Jim’s collegial demeanor was no sign of weakness. He deftly represented his client’s interests with a professionalism that is all too lacking in our current “civil” court system. Since that time, Jim has become a certified specialist in family law, as well. His confidence, professionalism, and extensive litigation experience combine to provide him with a rare skill-set that makes him thoroughly effective and nearly imperturbable in that often highly emotional legal arena. -Ed Casey
