What people write to Attorney Phillips...
I have recently filed a lawsuit for a dog bite case. While researching the law, I stumbled upon your website and, I must say, felt very relieved to see such a wealth of information on the topic. I appreciate all the information that you provide on your site as it has helped focus my research immensely.
Best regards,
C.B., Attorney at Law
