This attorney came highly recommended to me. This man is a extremely successful attorney. I have been one of his clients and have been very pleased with his pleasant personality. I was also very pleased with the way he handled my case. I would recommend this man to anyone who is looking for a decent man who is fair and wants justice.
I read a very unfair comment about him on this service probably written by a deadbeat Dad locked up in jail.

Sonny Phillips is the worse attorney I have ever met:
Sonny is very unfriendly and is a liar - Sonny Phillips is the type of lawyer that you want to not walk away from but run away fast. It appears that he takes cases without merit, bottom feeding and tries to bully everyone into submission. I have never dealt with anyone in any capacity that was so unprofessional in their line of work. He really does his best to gain an advantage by lying to judges, acting like a bully and even stoops so low he resorts to name calling using completely unprofessional language like a$$hole. I have never met or dealt with a ruder man in my life. If you are thinking of hiring him stop. If you had a bad experience like I have go to John Neal, Chief Disciplinary Counsel, State Bar of Texas, Post Office Box 12487, Austin, TX 78711, 512/453-5535, or toll free at 800/204-2222, fax number is 512/453-6667. The instructions for filing a grievance with this committee or located online at www.texasbar.com. We don’t need lawyers like this in Texas or any other state.
The Supreme Court of Texas Describes Sonny Phillips perfect in this statemment
Order of the Supreme Court of Texas and the Court of Criminal Appeals
The conduct of a lawyer should be characterized at all times by honesty, candor, and fairness. In fulfilling his or her primary duty to a client, a lawyer must be ever mindful of the profession's broader duty to the legal system.
The Supreme Court of Texas and the Court of Criminal Appeals are committed to eliminating a practice in our State by a minority of lawyers of abusive tactics which have surfaced in many parts of our country. We believe such tactics are a disservice to our citizens, harmful to clients, and demeaning to our profession.
The abusive tactics range from lack of civility to outright hostility and obstructionism. Such behavior does not serve justice but tends to delay and often deny justice. The lawyers who use abusive tactics, instead of being part of the solution, have become part of the problem.
The desire for respect and confidence by lawyers from the public should provide the members of our profession with the necessary incentive to attain the highest degree of ethical and professional conduct. These rules are primarily aspirational. Compliance with the rules depends primarily upon understanding and voluntary compliance, secondarily upon reenforcement by peer pressure and public opinion, and finally when necessary by enforcement by the courts through their inherent powers and rules already in existence.
These standards are not a set of rules that lawyers can use and abuse to incite ancillary litigation or arguments over whether or not they have been observed.
We must always be mindful that the practice of law is a profession. As members of a learned art we pursue a common calling in the spirit of public service. We have a proud tradition. Throughout the history of our nation, the members of our citizenry have looked to the ranks of our profession for leadership and guidance. Let us now as a profession each rededicate ourselves to practice law so we can restore public confidence in our profession, faithfully serve our clients, and fulfill our responsibility to the legal system.
The Supreme Court of Texas and the Court of Criminal Appeals hereby promulgate and adopt "The Texas Lawyer's Creed -- A Mandate for Professionalism" described above.
In Chambers, this 7th day of November, 1989.
