Following is the original one star rating for DAVID PHILLIPS - Criminal Defense Lawyer, Edmonton…read moreAB;
David Phillips was hired to defend my spouse in a very simple case, he was so tough to get a hold of, and when we did, there were never any updates. Finally the night before court, we got his ear for about 45 mins. Next day in front of the Judge, his knowledge of the case was very sketchy, and it became apparent that all he was doing was taking the Prosecutor's counsel and selling it to us. Needless to say, the outcome was brutal. I have nothing good to say about about this "defense" attorney's actions. He was a representative, not a defender, and definitely not a fighter. Do your own research tho. I can only speak from our own experience.
This is the response to me from the owner Of Worobec Law Offices, Sherwood Park, AB after he responded to that review;
"Mr. Phillips has not been employed by my firm since May 30, 2017. ...I assume that your complaint is regarding recent misconduct by Mr. Phillips (for which neither myself nor my firm is responsible) or is in regard to past misconduct (which was not previously brought to my attention and which I therefore had no opportunity to deal with). I have practiced law for over 20 years, working extremely hard to build and maintain a reputation for excellence in my personal practice and in the quality of work provided by members of my law firm. I hope that you can accept that I have no control over the conduct of lawyers once they leave my firm to work on their own, and ask that you consider rescinding your poor review of my firm, and placing the blame where it actually should lie - with Mr. Phillips himself."
This is my response to Mr. Worobec;
I understand the challenges with reputation management in 2017, and I apologize to you Mr Worobec and your firm. David Phillips was with your firm when he took our case, and then during the course of the next 6-7 months we got several new phone numbers and confusing stories from him about where he was working, but that he could still defend us, ...as well as that he was still working for you (possibly a lie), and an another firm, as well as starting his own business.
The other reviews you have at Worobec are obviously from happy clients. That is great to see! Nice job!
Yelp, YP, Google, Lawyerratingz.com and several other sites need to update their information on David Phillips, so things like this don't happen again, however, I did just give you 5 stars for taking the time to reply with detailed information amidst I'm sure a busy schedule. Thank you.
The fresh information I have is that David Phillips is now working for PHILLIPS MANUCCI, #401-10722 103 Ave, Edmonton, AB, T5J5G7. As far as my comments regarding David Phillips conduct, I could not conscionably rescind them and will not, fully aware that it is only "slander" if it is not the truth. My original review is the truth and nothing but.
Thank you again Mr. Worobec for taking the time to respond and I wish you and your firm all the best in all of your future endeavors.
