AVVO Rated "10" Superb & "Clients' Choice" Better Business Bureau A+ Rating
If you or a loved one has been harmed by the negligent or reckless act of another, your life may be forever changed. Unfortunately, after suffering a serious injury, you will likely face physical, emotional, and financial challenges. It is critical that you are represented by an attorney who genuinely cares about you and your future, and who is personally dedicated to pursuing full and fair damages.
If you have been injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be getting ready to face nearly insurmountable obstacles. You have the right to seek full and fair compensation for the losses you have experienced through a personal injury case. But many times, there are numerous questions and concerns that arise:
At Phillips Personal Injury, we have more than 25 years of experience fighting hard for client’s personal injury claims. And a substantial part of our practice is helping clients who have suffered head trauma (Traumatic Brain Injury) and spine and back injury.

Don’t settle for less by attempting to battle the insurance companies on your own. Learn more about our ratings and what sets our accident and injury firm apart. ( How We’re Different )
We’re Your Neighbors… We’re not Sacramento Lawyers
We're not “big city” or bill-board lawyers. We actually live here. Our kids go or went to school here. We vote and shop here. You may already know us through our community involvement, your neighbor's recommendation, or just just standing in line at South Pine Cafe on Saturday morning waiting for huevos rancheros and hoping for a table.
I Will Personally Work Your Case from Start to Finish…
Unlike some of my larger, big city competitors, I do not assign cases to junior lawyers after signing a new client. I work my cases from start to finish. With Phillips Personal Injury, you do not have to worry about having your case passed around from lawyer to lawyer. When you call my office, I call you back. You don’t get screened by a paralegal or legal assistant and my clients enjoy direct contact with me throughout their case.
I love the work I do as a Nevada County personal injury lawyer. I personally help people like you prepare and present their best personal injury case to obtain full and fair compensation. I am proud to be a trial lawyer, and I appreciate every opportunity to litigate on behalf of injured people in Northern California. My trial experience helps my injury clients trust that their legal claims are being moved forward by an experienced, committed and knowledgeable injury lawyer. Because I work every case myself, my clients know their lawyer knows their case inside and out, and they never have to worry about having their case handed off to a new lawyer just before trial.
Unlike a lot of “big city”personal injury lawyers who are looking for a quick settlement, I understand that sometimes the only way to get my clients the full and fair compensation they deserve is to go to trial and ask a jury to award it. In those cases, I carefully prepare my clients by educating them about the trial process, the risks and rewards of turning to the courts for justice, and their role in presenting the full truth to the judge and jury.
At Phillips Personal Injury, we’re on your side and we treat our clients like family, not claim numbers. We are experienced and knowledgeable in fighting for our clients injured by someone else’s negligence and in helping them obtain full and fair compensation for their injury.

Experience Matters – Talk to the Nevada County Injury Firm With a Proven Record
Insurance companies will assign adjusters quickly to injury victims after an accident to try to settle those claims for as little as possible. However, don’t be fooled – you have the right to seek full and fair compensation for your losses. It’s best not to accept an offer from an insurance company without speaking with your own attorney first who is looking out for your interests.
Lets be real, insurance companies are not on your side. The less money they hand you, the more money they make. If an adjuster betrays your trust, if they “low ball” a settlement offer to you, if they rub salt in your wounds, they don't get reprimanded. They get rewarded…
No matter what the commercials say, and no matter how friendly the adjuster on the phone may appear, it is their job to shortchange you. I've never met an adjuster or insurance defense lawyer who wears a white apron and a name tag. There is no such device as a "name your price tool." Their real tools are weapons: databases, delay tactics, distortions & confusion.
Our firm offers free legal consultations, without any obligation. If you decide that you want to choose another firm to handle your case, you owe us nothing. If you do decide that you want us to handle your case, we work on a contingent-fee basis, which means that you owe us nothing until we get compensation for you.
We established our law firm built around providing a far superior client experience. At Phillips Personal Injury, we only take on a limited number of cases, allowing us to provide ongoing, personalized legal service. We are not your average, everyday personal injury law firm, or one of the large, impersonal law firms you see advertised on TV.
I help people who have been harmed by the wrongdoing of others. That harm may have occurred during a seemingly simple car accident, or may involve catastrophic injury or wrongful death. Regardless of how “big law” might classify your injury, at Phillips Personal Injury, I will put in the effort needed to know and tell our story. I want to fully understand your injury, or every way in which the death of someone close to you has changed your life. That deeper understanding is part of what motivates me to help victims of negligence. I believe it is a foundation for authenticity that others can sense when you case is presented.

What Type of Injury Do You Have?
It’s not just about the law. Having a personal injury lawyer who is well versed and familiar with your particular injury is critical. Different injuries may require different consideration under personal injury law and can impact your full and fair recovery.
In the midst of seeking medical care and trying to understand the injuries you’ve sustained in an accident, contacting a lawyer may seem like an unnecessary step. But a lawyer can help guide you through the process and be your advocate. A major part of this is demonstrating the severity of your injuries. We will create the strongest case possible by gathering evidence right from the start. Getting prompt medical care is essential, as it documents the severity of your injuries immediately after the injury. You must attend all scheduled and recommended appointments. Your medical records are a critical piece of evidence.
Hiring an attorney isn’t an attempt to game the system or get more than you’re entitled to, despite how the media treats injury victims. It’s simply a way to ensure that profit-centered insurance companies treat victims fairly.
