“Jeffrey Phillips is truly a brilliant attorney and businessman. I would not hesitate for a moment to contact him if you needed a personal injury attorney in Arizona, you would be fortunate to have him and his team. If you have a car accident, slip and fall in a store, or get punched in the face, call Phillips.” —Sandro Salcedo


Phillips Law Group celebrates 30 years of taking legal matters personally—a business philosophy that has earned more than $1 billion for more than 155,000 satisfied clients. Based in Arizona, the firm has offices in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City. The firm’s primary practice areas are automobile/truck injuries, motorcycle injuries, workplace accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, and defective product cases. 


The primary office of the firm is in Phoenix, but Phillips and his team serve clients throughout the United States. Due to the frequent back-and-forth travel between Arizona and California, many travelers from the Golden State finding themselves in legal challenges find convenient, professional, and personal services readily available in the Copper State. “People from California who face legal challenges in Arizona are more confident when they have aggressive representation here that is combined with local resources in our California offices. We really do offer the best of both worlds in those cases,” Phillips says.

They have achieved remarkable successes across the board for their clients. For example: $23 million for a product liability case, $4.3 million for a wrongful death case, $2.25 million for a slip and fall case, $1.4 million for a class action employment case, and $1 million for premise liability. Their record in tough response to insurance firm offers is equally strong: when offered only $900,000 the firm earned $4.65 million; offered zero, the firm earned their client $900,000; offered $100,000 they earned their client $7.650 million and those are just a few examples of their ongoing dramatic results. 


Clients often offer equally expressive compliments to the firm’s efforts. 


“I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and is not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to lead attorney Nasser Abujbarah. Nasser heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nasser spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy Laskos and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the directions that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury attorney to call Phillips Law Group. Thank you!” —Angelica Valenzuela 


Phillips Law Group employs more than 100 people in eight offices. In 2023 Phillips Law was certified as a Great Place to Work. The Great Place to Work organization provides national recognition to firms providing “an outstanding employee experience and an amazing workplace culture.” The certification process involves surveying the workforce and the completion of a questionnaire about the company and its culture. The survey showed that 95 percent of Phillips Law Group say it is a great place to work. 


Employees are eager to explain why that designation is accurate. 


“Phillips Law Group provides a collaborative environment in which both attorneys and staff work together to achieve the best outcome for clients. As an attorney here at PLG, I’m lucky to be surrounded by seasoned attorneys and knowledgeable staff that share my enthusiasm for helping accident victims. The team here at PLG treats clients with respect and empathy while fighting hard to get the results they deserve.”—Aaron Sherrell 


Founding Partner Jeffrey Phillips says, “We’ve proudly cultivated a connected, caring workforce where people are willing to give extra to get the job done. We also believe our commitment to community service is very attractive to prospective staffers who get the chance to give back to the community as much as they can to clients at Phillips Law Firm.”

Making It Personal from Personal Experience 

Philips began his legal career as a criminal defense attorney but changed his primary focus to helping those injured through the negligence of other people and organizations. He has represented individual persons as lead counsel in more than 40 jury trials, obtaining verdicts throughout Arizona, including tribal lands. 


The decision to change his focus was intensely personal. Many years ago, Phillips lost his mother due to a case of medical malpractice, which truly makes his drive to serve personal injury and related clients very personal. “That loss made me determined to advocate for injured people and to fight to make things right for clients seeking justice in cases of auto accidents, serious injury, medical malpractice, and more. Our focus is on getting real justice for people harmed due to the negligence of others,” Phillips says. 


His personal record is as exemplary as that of his firm. Phillips is a 1986 graduate of Arizona State University, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude, earning the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honors. He earned his Juris Doctor in 1990 from the Law School at Arizona State University in Tempe. His record of achievement includes: member of the National Trial Lawyers Association, Leaders Forum member of the American Association for Justice, Premiere member of the American Academy of Trial Attorneys, member of the Western Trial Lawyers Association, member—Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, member—Consumer Attorneys of California, as a Motor Vehicle Trial Lawyers Association—Top 25 member, Trucking Trial Lawyers Association—Top 10 member, member of the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, member of the National Brain Injury Trial Lawyers—Top 25, member of the State Bar of Arizona and a former member of the State Bar of Arizona Fee Arbitration Committee, member—Orange County Bar Association. 


His personal commitment to the law, the community and his clients is reflected in the many positive comments earned by his team. 

 

“Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value. As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry, I can wholeheartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips Law Group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.”
—Maxim Neverov

Personal Involvement in the Community 

“Giving back to the community is more than a slogan to us; it is a guiding principle of our firm and something that is always in the forefront of our minds—individually and as an organization,” Phillips says. The attorneys, paralegals, and support staff of Phillips Law group are extremely active in the professional community and the community at large. They regularly collaborate with organizations such as Maggie’s Place, Nourish PHX, Arizona Helping Hands, Women4Women Tempe, the Arizona Animal Welfare League, Feeding Arizona, My Hope Bag, A New Leaf, and many more. Giving back to the community is a guiding principle of the firm. 


They recently founded the Phillips Law Group Foundation, which is dedicated to restoring and enriching the vibrant Arizona community that is their home base. Employees are regularly given opportunities to participate in volunteer events—which happen at least weekly. 


“At the base of everything we do is our empathy for the client. This isn’t just business for us. My life was impacted by medical malpractice, making this work extremely personal. I do my absolute best to pass along those feelings and that commitment to my team. We have been in business this long because we really care about our clients and go the extra mile for them. And having served thousands of clients who often refer us to their friends and loved ones, we think that reputation is clear, and we uphold it in our commitment to clients that shines through,” Phillips says.
