The Phillips Law Offices Trial Team
Phillips Law Offices has represented injured people and their families in Illinois since 1945. The firm has built its reputation in front of Cook County juries rather than in television commercials, and that courtroom credibility matters long before any trial — defence counsel and adjusters price a case differently when they know the firm across the table is willing and able to try it.
