Pros

Competent, thorough, and detailed in his approach

“Phil, from the first meeting together, put me at ease and clearly explained what to expect, what was the entire process, what not to be overly concerned about.”

Personable and engaging, helping clients feel at ease during difficult times

“Phil not only addressed the legal aspects of my case, but also offered suggestions on how to manage myself given the likelihood of the many anticipated 'ups-and-downs' which can occur during the process.”

Honest and transparent, providing clients with realistic assessments

“I knew I could trust Phil to be honest with me about 'both sides' of the situation and respected his experience and knowledge.”

Effective negotiation and advocacy skills, achieving favorable outcomes for clients

“His negotiation skills were amazing and he negotiated a very fair and good settlement in the case.”

Maintains high integrity and puts clients' best interests first

“In a legal environment where so many many in the legal system are attempting to exploit the emotional pain inherent in divorce for financial gain, Phil Shucklin demonstrates a level of integrity and honesty that is often missing in the field.”

Cons

May not be the best fit for complex or high-conflict cases

“Don't even think about hiring him. Comes across as a nice guy, but just cannot handle cases unless it is straight forward. He did not prepare for the trial properly nor gave me proper strategies.”

Potential lack of expertise in certain areas of family law

“Very un-knowledgeable and led me down the wrong path. Told me this was a 'non-alimony' state, and robbed me of any alimony I had coming.”
