I have been blessed to have Julian McPhillips represent me twice in the last 10 years. I was in a severe accident in 2008, with a drunk driver hitting back of my vehicle approximately 45 mph while my car was stationary at a red light. I had never called or been to an attorney before as this was a terrible new experience for me. Attorney. McPhillips, as well as his assisting staff, immediately put my nerves to rest with his kindness, genuinely caring about what had happened to my children and me and reassuring me everything would be fine even if the driver did not have insurance and my insurance did not want to pay, He was correct! Within a few months, Geico settled and paid for injuries and totaled car. Attorney. McPhillips won the case against a major insurance company and I was able to heal and have necessary surgeries without any stress! Thank you Attorney McPhillips and McPhillips Shinbaum!!
My second experience with Attorney Mcphillips was just as wonderful in spite of the seriousness of the accident and my injuries. I pulled over for an ambulance to pass and the driver of a major trucking company tried to jump in front of the ambulance and in the process literally drove over my mini van , which was caught under the 18 wheeler at this point, and drug me to the top of an onramp where he finally jack knifed truck was forced to stop. I spent 9 months in the hospital and during the following 4 years had 12 abdominal surgeries and all the complications that may come with them. This company wanted to settle and quickly for only the medicals I had received at the two year mark after the accident. Attorney McPhillips had the foresight and knowledge that I very well would have future medical issues which indeed did happen. Not to mention the emotional loss I felt not being at home with my young boys and only seeing them when they would visit me at the hospital. The opposing Attorneys, and there were many, continued to try and settle for an insulting amount that would not have covered any of my future surgeries, Regardless of the size of this trucking company, the name attached to this trucking company or the many attorneys this trucking company hired, Attorney McPhillips and his assistants, including Amelia Strickland who had also assisted in 2008 accident, assured me he and the firm would not give up or give in. He did not and I count my blessings every day for God providing such a wonderful attorney and assistant to not treat me as a case but a human being who they visited, called and developed a close relationship with myself and my children. Not one time did they act as though I were a case to make them money but a person who was severely hurt and needed protection in that moment and the years to come. They won that case too! Again, this is not about Attorney McPhillips or Amelia Strickland winning cases for me but individuals who treated me with professionalism, kindness and the hurt human being I was at the time.
I pray there are no more car accidents in my future, but if there are there is nowhere else I would go BUT to McPhillips Shinbaum, and every attorney there is great, but I personally will be requesting Attorney McPhillips and his Office manager Amelia Strickland!! Know this is long and thank you for those who stuck with reading all the way through. As you can tell I am extremely passionate and want to lead others in similar or any situation to the best law firm I know!!! read more
