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. In 2008, Philip shifted his practice away from representing corporations, insurance companies, and insureds, turning his focus to family law. 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. Philip is married to Kelly Moore, and together they are raising three children in a blended family. Having experienced divorce personally, Philip recognizes the importance of delivering meaningful results for his clients while minimizing unnecessary conflict in their lives.
