A colleague first recommended that I contact Phil and Bill, and it was one of the best business decisions I've ever made for my company. I have been working with their firm since 2019, initially retained as general counsel regarding some flood-related insurance claims and contractor disputes. However shortly after this the world was introduced to COVID, and Phil and Bill quickly became my closest advisors in navigating the pandemic. I can honestly say that my company would not have survived the pandemic were it not for their counsel, strategic acumen and personal support. Our scope of work involved everything from landlord-tenant negotiations to comprehensive settlements involving multiple parties. Running a business can be equal parts rewarding and challenging. In the challenging times, it's critical to have a trusted legal advisor. I would highly recommend Phil and Bill in this regard.
