Professional, yet approachable. Confident, yet easygoing. I will tenaciously represent you with honesty, integrity and empathy. I come from a family of legal eagles, so this profession is in my blood…I have a true passion for the law. My father was a family law attorney before me. I started following him around the Courthouse when I was five, worked in his law office through high school, and served process through college. I grew up on family law and my instincts were honed on complex property, custody and enforcement from the time I was a child. My father would get a kick out of asking me questions about a property case or how to get custody under certain circumstances, and then take my answers and put them into pleadings. By the time I was licensed, I was ready to take on anybody – any issue. As my career took off, I learned that an effective attorney isn’t just aggressive and he doesn’t blindly follow the bullets as he shoots. An effective attorney is strategic and determined, has a strong sense of integrity, and is guided by values and faith. That’s how I try cases. There are two hundred ways to tell every story, but only one of those is the most persuasive. I know the family law process and I believe in it. I understand it and I can explain it to you because I have lived it my entire life. No one else will work harder to guide you through one of the toughest times of your life. I’m proud of what I accomplish – the complicated property cases I try, protecting the children, enforcing the Orders. It’s important for you to unequivocally know that I am committed to protecting you and your children during the battle of divorce, property division and custody disputes with the goal of you leaving here better than when you arrived. Divorce and custody disputes are often stressful, financially taxing and spiritually draining experiences. I will involve you and put you at ease by explaining the whole process, ensuring you understand and agree with our strategies. Experience counts. Yes, this is one of the hardest times of your life, but we take action today for a better tomorrow.

There are many alternatives to bankruptcy which my law firm has dealt with as well including credit card problem negotiation, offer-in-compromise and tax installment agreement. My goal is to make my law firm the industry standard in these areas of the law. If I can assist as many people as possible to reach their goals of financial freedom through representation and education I will feel as though I have accomplished something in my life. This practice is my passion and something that I believe in greatly. We provide a service to our clients that they will feel for the rest of their lives and that is what makes it all worth it.

For the first seven years of his legal career, Philip maintained a general civil trial practice, concentrating on personal injury defense and commercial litigation. In personal injury cases, he defended businesses and individuals facing claims involving premises liability, products liability, motor vehicle accidents, and general negligence. His commercial litigation work included defending businesses against allegations of breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, and insurance coverage disputes.

Since that time, he has handled hundreds of family law cases, addressing matters such as divorce, the modification and enforcement of divorce decrees, paternity actions, termination of parental rights, domestic adoptions, grandparent access, premarital agreements, and separation agreements. Philip’s background in civil litigation, combined with his deep understanding of procedural and evidentiary rules, allows him to effectively advocate for clients when family law disputes require courtroom litigation. Philip earned his law degree from St. Mary's University School of Law in 2001, after completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Houston-Downtown in 1998. He has remained active in his community, coaching boys' basketball teams and mentoring Plano middle school students through the annual Collin County Mock Trial competition.
