"Mr. Phillips is a man of great integrity and will not let you down."
Mr. Phillips represented our teenage daughter in a medical malpractice case. Robert went above and beyond for us in a very difficult time. He came to our home and was completely honest with us, he explained everything along the way and kept us in the loop over time. Mr. Phillips treated our family with respect and did an incredible job for our daughter. He is a confident attorney with a great deal of experience and knowledge. Not only did Mr. Phillips help get our daughter the monetary compensation she would need to take care of herself for her lifetime, he also helped guide her in the right direction to set herself up for success. Mr. Phillips is a man of great integrity and will not let you down. Without hesitation, our family will always recommend him to anyone in need of his services. We are truly appreciative. Highly recommend!

The Judge said to me, “My dear, you have one great lawyer.”
After several intense discussions and successfully settling my personal injury case, the judge said to me, “My dear, you have one great lawyer.” Robert Phillips leveraged every possible resource to get my case the best outcome. I was in on every critical step, was apprised of all expenses, and was thoroughly prepared for my deposition and arbitration meeting. Mr. Phillips is a very dynamic speaker and excelled at garnering the courts sympathy and compassion toward me. I am very grateful and I know this much – I only ever want Robert Phillips on MY side.

Thanks Rob, you rock!!!
Rob Phillips did an outstanding job for us. He is a very thoughtful and tenacious lawyer. He really considers his clients needs and is compassionate about helping his clients. He challenges the opposing counsel with his arguments and responses. He does not tolerate or enable any behavior or supposition that would not be in the best interest of his clients. He is respectful and courteous to the courts and judges. His responds in a timely manner to everyone involved in the case. He welcomes a challenge and will not back down from any fight that is necessary. He does his homework and was always prepared. Through himself and his staff he found aspects to the case which were of great benefit to the outcome. Not only some facts of the case we were not aware of but witnesses that we were not aware of either. The many depositions done were completed extremely well. His cross examinations revealed aspects to the case that were in our best interests. Once again, his fact finding missions were superb. This helped with all aspects of the case. He had also explained to us the length the case was going to take and he was accurate with the time frame. He did his best to minimize costs without compromising the integrity of the case. Our son could not have had a better advocate than even his mother and myself. His staff is intelligent, responsive and caring. Whoever is reading this review would be foolish not to enlist the services and the commitment to excellence you would receive from Rob Phillips and his staff. We could go on and on but at this point you can understand the wonderful job that he did for us.
Sincerely, G.G. Libertyville, IL
Excellent Job- I Would Use His Services Again
Robert Phillips represented me for a personal injury lawsuit in 2010. Rob explained many of the legal nuances and the procedures so that I could understand the road needed to be traveled through the court system of Cook County. Rob kept me informed of every action taken during the legal proceedings and advised me of the next step of the procedure. I was satisfied with the outcome of my case. It was helpful that I myself understood that the legal system can and does move slowly at times. Rob did an excellent job and I would use his services again if needed.

Wonderful!
This was my first legal experience and I was very suspicious of everything but I found Mr. Phillips and associates (particularly his paralegal, she's the best!) to be extremely pleasant, prompt, and really made an extremely stressful time as painless as possible.

Excellent Service
I would recommend this firm to friends and family. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the hands on care that we received. The office was very professional, and very caring.

Best Lawyer Possible for Disfiguring Dog Bite
Robert Phillips became our lawyer for my daughter's dog bite to her face, which happened at the house of a family friend. He was extremely adept at charting the options for us and working with the insurance company to get fair compensation, which greatly exceeded our family's expectations, and was well over 10 times the original offer. Our settlement was in the very top ranking for this type of injury.
The great thing about Robert is that he is extraordinarily aggressive and proactive regarding all the legal activities, but very importantly to us, we all felt comfortable with him. Some Personal Injury lawyers are kind of gross, but Robert is a really decent and fair guy, always outlining a course of action that made sense. His experts are all professional (rather than professional experts who don't come off as well in court) and his photographer was really gentle with my young child, quickly gaining trust and alleviating the embarrassment of the facial scar.
Robert pointed out the options at each step in the way - and had good judgment in how hard to push and when to be patient. I have complete confidence in his abilities and can recommend him without hesitation.
P.S., Chicago, IL
Fantastic
Mr. Phillips handled my case very professionally, he is extremely knowledgeable and kept me well informed throughout. I had complete confidence and trust in him, unfortunately due my condition and situation this case was very intense and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to represent me. I couldn't have gotten through this if it wasn't for his kindness and humanity, he really fought for me I would and will definitely recommend Mr. Phillips to everyone.

Highly Recommend the services of Robert B. Phillips, IV
On 2/16/10 we have reached out to Robert Phillips concerning an incident that took place involving our mother. The question we asked was whether we should pursue legal action. Mr. Phillips returned my call within 24 hours. I explained the situation. He was honest in his response and had indicated that based on the family's decision, he would be happy to represent the family. During the entire course of the case, Mr. Phillips and his firm was responsive to all questions, as well as, responsive to meeting with my siblings should they have any questions. He looked out for the family, but again was also honest in terms of possible outcomes. He took the time to answer and educate us how the process works, the role of Medicare, as well as, the defendant. Though you cannot replace a life lost, the compassion in which Mr. Phillips and firm took in working with our family and coming to an amicable resolution was greatly appreciated. Mr. Phillips and his firm explained everything step-by-step. And, some of those outcomes he explained could take place did, but due to his expertise and education we were not taken by surprise.
When I would make a call to F/U, my calls were returned immediately, and in some cases we were able to connect with Mr. Phillips via conference call when he was out of the office. On behalf of myself and my family, we highly recommend the services of Robert B. Phillips, IV.
